“ Great catfish, my other 3 guests had different fish dinners. Everything was perfect, side dishes as well. Service was excellent ”
“ Phenomenal service. The fried catfish, seared ahi tuna special, and filet mignon special were all excellent and flavorful. Ambiance was cozy and elegant. Cant wait to come back! ”
“ This was such a great dining experience that I have told a few friend already and will be back! The ambiance is eclectic and tranquil. You will see both Japanese and French influences. White linen tablecloths, real silverware, nice china plates. We started with salmon tacos as appetizers along with a cucumber mojito, pomegranate martini, and a glass of merlot. Our dinner entrees were broiled salmon fillet in dill sauce, breast of duck in orange sauce, and the masterpiece signature dish, the whole fried catfish. The presentation of this item was fascinating, the preparation was truly gourmet, and the taste was amazing. Crispy on tge outside but tender and juicy inside. Not only I could eat the fish with chop sticks, but I ate the skin as well as the meat. The duck breast was so tender and tasty that melted in your mouth. The dill sauce on top of the salmon was one of the best I had ever tasted. Then we had apple pie with ice cream and coffee to finish the night. The server was very professional helpful and friendly. ”
“ Beautiful experience! Professional, great service, and food were memorable experiences. Definitely will be back. ”
“ You must get the wonton ravioli as an appetizer and whole fried catfish as the entree. Note that the catfish comes with a small side of potatoes and veggies. Pro Tip ask them for more cilantro and ponzu sauce thats the key to yummymess. It was phenomenal. For dessert get the apple tart. Its made to perfection. Skip the brulee, too runny. For drinks, get the basil cucumber martini. Very refreshing. ”
“ Wonderful food from a restaurant that has been around for years and I sincerely hope it will be for many more ”
