“I would come back to St. Louis just to eat here.” —my wife.The attention to detail here is absolutely phenomenal. From napkin placement, to the service to the food, the quality is unmatched. We started with the walnut red pepper dip and the peach caprese special. Had the short rib, lobster risotto special and roasted carrots for dinner and then orange cake for dessert, plus a bottle of wine. The serving sizes were ample and the flavors and textures were a delight.One of the best dining experiences of our lives.Thanks Brian for the excellent service, we will be back!

We recently moved our college group and made a last-minute reservation at this restaurant. It was fantastic! The menu was creative and unique, and the cocktails were delicious. Don't hesitate, just go check it out.

My group recently had dinner at this restaurant, and I was initially under the impression that it was a Malaysian restaurant. However, I soon discovered that the cuisine was quite unique and not strictly Malaysian. The food had Asian influences and each dish was delicious. The waiter provided detailed descriptions of each item, although I found it difficult to remember the specials due to the amount of information given. The portions were generous and of high quality, leaving me feeling satisfied. The restaurant had a nice indoor-outdoor flow and was located on a charming, tree-lined street. Parking was easy to find. I would definitely come back again.

The food was amazing. The first time in a long time that every single dish was 100% devoured. Everything was so savory and the atmosphere was cozy and light. Would recommend a date night.

The environment is beautiful, the food top rate and the chef himself went out of his way to make sure I had a meal that worked for my dietary restrictions. They are a gift to our neighborhood. Everyone I know who dines there raves about it.
