Have only been here for Thanksgiving, but it's always solid. An Asian twist on the classic. Generous portions will leave you with delicious leftovers to take home.

I love this restaurant! Get the Kalua Pig lettuce wraps, they're awesome! Chef comes around to talk to you too and he's nice and laid back makes you feel special ;-)

The oyster shooters are wonderful, according to the friend that accompanied me. Their bourbon/whiskey cocktails are quite smooth albeit potent. The interior design adds to the overall experience.

Butterfly - nice view but noisy inside. We had smocked salmon w/ strawberries (yak!), kalua pig and peking duck were delicious though. The cocktails were so strong... Omg! Be careful!

Get the server Porter Anthony. He made the experience amazing for two young and tired professionals. Trust me. Ask to be state with him and you won't be sorry.

Most awesome gin rosemary martini...sounds strange but it was amazing! That was apart from the typically yummy food - shrimp shumai, garlic noodles, edamame, spring rolls, what else? All so good! Plus

Oyster shooter , sashimi, snapper with butter lettuce! Cherry blossom the best

The clay pot chicken was very satisfying. Break the egg yolk and dip your bacon-wrapped chicken in it!

Happy hour! Steak fries are yummy and come with a good dipping sauce. Stop here before your Alcatraz tour

When making a reservation, try and request a seat near the window. Lovely bay views. :)

Request a seat by the window when making a reservation. Also, order the Kalua pig - it's totally the best dish there.

Looks more expensive than it actually is. Decent atmosphere right on the pier, and some filling, delicious food.

The kiwi cucumber gimlet is fantastic. Sit outdoors and see if you can spot Charlie the sea lion!

they frown upon ordering water. better order two glasses because it takes a while to get a refill. Kobe burger is amazing!
