Let's start with the amazing decor of this establishment. The decor is rather lavish and beautiful (something I love).

We had reservations but we were not seated right away. The dining area is downstairs -- We were kept upstairs for about 20 minutes with the option of ordering drinks while we wait.

Once we were seated our waiter brought us menus and we quickly began ordering to satiate our starving bellies. I feel like the food is definitely not a 10. I'd say it's probably close to a 6. The edamame dumplings literally made us gag. It tasted like dust, sandpaper and cement. No kidding.

The black cod was incredible. Really really fresh and tasty, perfect seasoning. The best part was dessert. I loved the plating and absolutely loved the dishes.

The restaurant is definitely Manhattan trendy, but I'd faster go to TAO for some yummy food.
