" Had dinner here and while the food was predominantly good, I did find one dish underwhelming. The spicy shrimp fried rice was slightly too salty for my taste. However, everything else, especially the sushi and lobster tempura, was great. Service was generally attentive but could be improved with a quicker response time during busy hours. Overall, a good place with a fantastic vibe. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gorgeous restaurant with a lively vibe! The food was tantalizingly good, especially the Wagyu burger. I do wish the portion sizes were a bit bigger, as the prices are on the higher end. Still, we enjoyed a great time here with fabulous drinks to accompany our meal. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a casual meal here with friends, and overall had a pretty good experience. Although the prices are on the higher side, the food was prepared well, particularly the sushi rolls. Some of the appetizers felt small. However, the ambiance makes it a fun dining spot for gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Lobster Club truly exceeded my expectations! The lobster dumplings were exquisite, bursting with flavor. I also indulged in a serving of the Wagyu skirt steak, which melted in my mouth. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the decor was impeccable. I will definitely be returning soon, especially for brunch with friends! " (*Curated Review*)
