The whole experience was beautiful but we had a long wait for our food the head chef was our cook and he quit on us mid way thru cooking our tables food then he got verbal and walked off with the food still on the grill. The next chef came out and cooked us new food and he made the experience better

Food is always good however this establishment could use a little TLC. I say this because there is paint visibly peeling on the ceilings as well as dust outside of the vents. The staff and service are great,but whoever is owns the restaurant could take a little more pride in atmosphere of the building.

Need more service people, waited a while to get our drinks. Get some salt and pepper shakers, they brought us take out packets to the table, asked for Soy Sauce, same thing packets to the table. Also update the inside of the restaurant. It's sterile looking nothing fancy about this dining experience at all. The chef was the best part of the night, even though I had to add seasonings to my food.. we went there for a birthday dinner and a guy comes out pounding a drum..? Update and Upgrade..

I've been coming here for 20 years and last night was the worst experience I've ever had. First off, the server was great. The Chef was the only issue. We ordered extra appetizer shrimp with our meal but the Chef cooked everything out of order because a person in the other party had a shrimp allergy. Obviously that person should be accommodated but I just feel like we should have been told beforehand; otherwise, we would not have ordered the extra shrimp appetizer. The reason being, he started cooking the rice and the vegetables and the dinner shrimp BEFORE the appetizer shrimp so we just ended up with a massive amount of shrimp. He never explained why he didn't start with the appetizer shrimp, he just told me he was going to cook it later. Additionally, we got our broccoli for dessert because he cooked that last and not with the dinner shrimp. No lemons were served with our salmon. Shells were not completely taken off several off our shrimp. The Chef was overall rude to us but went out of his way to entertain the rest of the guests. I only got one sauce cup when they normally give you two and when I asked for additional sauce, he slammed down the bottle and said you can have it. At the end of the meal, he said "can I have my S*%$ back"? Extremely inappropriate to curse at your guests even if you feel like you are joking. We never have special requests or make changes to our order and just kind of keep to ourselves so I'm unsure why the chef was so rude to us. It's going to be hard for us to come back after this.

This is my favorite restaurant ever and whenever I come to Winston Salem I make sure it's my business to be there. Food is always amazing, Thank you❤️

It was ok. I know restaurants have a hard time keeping staff so thats why I'm not gonna bash the staff but as I stood there waiting to be seated I noticed just how dated the place was. This restaurant has been around for many years and really needs a face lift. The ceilings are pretty gross looking and it looks the same as it did years ago. Hope to see something new in the future.
