Lotus was quite the surprise. I met my girlfriends there and the drinks were amazing and this place has something for everyone. I had the ribeye and cooked to perfection. We also shared the potstickers. My friends had the salmon and the flatbread pizza. All were excellent. I plan to go back.

Last minute wedding reception they did an amazing job accommodating us! Good food, good drinks and amazing service rounded out this pretty venue where little decorations were needed. We were very happy and recommend them for anyone looking to host a small to medium event.
