This is one of those "gems" that you wish you could keep to yourself! After eating here recently, it appears that the word is out though... Okay, in a nutshell....place is a little on the dumpy side, it's loud, and cramped...BUT Food is amazing and cheap... I repeat.... AMAZING AND CHEAP! Have had crab cakes all over the country, and... more

This is the kind of place where you leave your plate clean. The scallop appetizer(special of the day) was cooked just right, medium and buttery. Asian fusion food can be a hit or miss, and the fried salmon rolls, the ahi tuna and swordfish were all expertly cooked; tender and flavorful and smartly presented. Portions are big enough to share... more

I echo the reviews regarding the excellent food, especially the Chilean Sea Bass. However, be prepared that the entrees are $20 -$30 (without salad, drinks etc.) more

I was just introduced to this place about 2 weeks ago, and I've been dying to go back! Everything I had here was excellent, from the calamari appetizer, to the sea bass entree, to the yummy desserts. more

Just had dinner at The House. Excellent! Loved the Wasabi Noodles. You can have it with filet, shrimp or scallops. The pork chop is excellent! Go early, gets very crowded. more

If you go to The House try the tempura green beens. The sea bass is good. Kobe beef I would totally pass on. Creme brulee was also something I would not waste calories and money on. Ambience is off. Some of the customers were nice but others were not tolerant to my life style. Service was friendly and efficient. Ate... more
