Going from rating 5 to rating 3 after our New Year's Eve at 5:30pm. Food was excellent, but service was slow. We were told kitchen backed up with take out orders, but still, one appetizer arrived after more than 20 minutes and the second appetizer 15 minutes after that and probably only because we enquired about status. Also, I ordered the Sorbet Parfait for dessert and the menu says mixed berries as part of the description. There were no berries. Tables very close together so hard to get in and out of our seat. Also asked to sub wide noodles instead of the usual thin ones in the pad thai and there was an upcharge. The experience this visit was not as good as the prior one. Prior visit: Excellent food, wonderful service, relaxing ambiance. Everything we had was exceptional. Korean Fried Chicken Bao and Ube Coconut Cheesecake were exceptional. Our server, Aidan, pleasant, attentive and made helpful recommendations. The chef was willing to substitute wide rice noodles instead of the standard for the Kung pao noodle dish. Definitely including this place in our core group of 'go to' restaurants for a great meal in a nice restaurant. Ample free parking.
