                                                  Service was incredible, our server was attentive and one of the appetizers was on the house as they ran out of some ingredients. It was very quiet as we were the only table there on what should’ve been a busy evening. The food left something to be desired. The salmon was very good but everything else was pretty mediocre. However, the drinks were delicious and so was dessert! Interesting concept of Asian and Italian fusion and the menu sounded good but we would not return or recommend, unfortunately.

                                                  It was lovely to relax with an espresso martini (made with violets!). This Italian/Asian fusion restaurant is amazing. We enjoyed delicious appetizers, especially the brisket bao. The main courses were delectable and different: orange chicken parmesan and cacao e pepe with meatballs. The chef talked with us about the dishes and treated us to glasses of orangecello (like limoncello) to cap off the meal.

                                                  Brunch featured generous portions and innovative offerings. The chicken and waffles was innovative and tasty. The brisket with eggs was rich but so good I had to finish the whole thing. The house sound playlist was eclectic but at the same time I enjoyed every selection. The amount of seating is limited so reservations are highly recommended.

                                                  The Cipreses Fresh roll was good, but it needed a little more tomato, it was a little dry. The Brisket and the Ribs were excellent. The owner sent us out a potato and edamame dumpling that were excellent. Food is a little different, large portions. Would Definity recommend and go back.

                                                  The food is so good and everyone in our party loved what we had. I think the place could use some redecorating to elevate the space a bit to the level of the food.

                                                  We found this place by accident and boy are we glad. The fusion of foods between Asian and Italian, albeit odd, was a homerun!! The staff were friendly and accommodating & our server, Corey, was awesome. We will be back much sooner than later.

                                                  We had a great experience and had so much fun sharing everything we got including a mix of appetizers and entrees. The crab rangoon was delicious as was the Korean bbq brisket and seafood risotto. The chef was really nice an even came out to see how our food was and brought us a couple free things to try including a delicious after dinner drink. This was a unique experience we will never forget.

                                                  Staff are incredible humans, drinks are out of this world, food quality for the price is excellent. Atmosphere is very casual, nothing pretentious; great for a cush dinner date.
