A series of dark, wood-accented rooms all perfumed by a smoky grill, with diners seated in soft leather chairs. Patrons can also dine at a counter overlooking the quiet kitchen, or at a U-shaped bar. Service is formal and attentive at times yet also quite relaxed, thanks to Raymond Trinh, a co-owner, who oversees the front-of-house operations.
Noise Level
Usually moderate, with diners focused on the precise dishes, but sometimes excessively noisy, when larger groups dine.
Recommended Dishes
