Started with a clove & Nashi ( gin cocktail ) definitely recommend it. Main course red fish was okay, had almost no taste. I was told it’s because I had the coconut sauce on the side. In a restaurant with a Michelin star or has a place in Michelin guide should serve the best tasting food . Anything covered in sauce can taste good. There was a mistake in wine menu. But the glass of white wine from Germany was good. Dessert tasted delicious. The service was excellent. I was able to sit outside with my dog.

Wait staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. Sorin was our waiter and he took great care of us. Food was unbelievably delicious too. We had 5 different dishes and each was unique and delightful. My wife and I said multiple times that this is one of the best meals we’ve had in recently memory. We will definitely dine here again.

First impression was great! The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Service was magnificent from the valet to our server. The ambiance was very relaxing. Great restaurant for date night. It was quite empty for a Saturday night but still very enjoyable.

This place is truly remarkable. The atmosphere is a vibe. The food and drinks….OMG. I tried the pork belly….and OMG!!! I had to cover my face to hide the excitement of well the flavors complimented each other. This would be a place for an anniversary or a date night.
They also have complimentary parking. Once we parked, walking distance of the place, and noticed they did have complimentary parking. they were willing to go get my car and park it for me.

Our waiter was helpful in discussing the menu and specials, and was attentive through our meal.
The interior is decorated beautifully with tile and textiles obviously carefully paired throughout.
We were very happy with the flavors of the dumpling appetizer with szechuan sauce (my personal favorite plate of the night) and also enjoyed the salt and pepper shrimp.
The beef short rib dish was very flavorful and building the lettuce wraps was fun. The tuna tataki was visually stunning and the tuna itself was excellent but the other ingredients didn’t seem to add as much flavor as I expected.
Overall we were very full and happy with the meal, and the variety of the menu means we will definitely be back to try new combinations!

Words cannot describe the flavors coming out of this kitchen. The food is superb. The presentation of the dishes is Michelin grade. The service is fantastic and the atmosphere is killer. Michelle was our waitress and she was on point. It may be on the higher end for price but wow was it worth it. Definitely recommend this spot.

We decided last minute to try out Current Charcoal Grill. A few friends had recommended that we try it. We were able to get reservations at the bar and we are SO thankful that we sat at the bar. Kendall and Sydney were incredible! They were very professional, attentive, and kind. We shared spirits that we like and asked them to make us whatever they’d like. The drinks did not disappoint! They made great drinks and really made our experience top notch. We started with a few appetizers (hush puppies and spring rolls), then moved on to our entrees (Penang Curry and Dan Dan Noodles with spicy beef). We also tried a side of the tempura sweet potatoes. DON’T MISS OUT ON THOSE! They were shockingly delicious. We ended with coffee, chocolate pie, and coconut rice pudding.
Well put this in our dinner rotation for sure. We were so impressed and can’t wait to go back!

Had been wanting to get here since they opened and it just hadn’t worked out. Well, my wife and I remedied that and what a great experience!! We love Automatic and just knew this would be a hit. Did not disappoint in the least, from the moment you walk in, atmosphere is welcoming and on point, friendliness of the staff was top notch!
We had a drink in the bar while we waited for our reservation, they could have seated us but we wanted to experience a drink at the bar, bartenders were super professional and made excellent drinks!
The food, what can I say, everything we tried we amazing. We will be back soon as there are so many others items that looked amazing and the menu does change with the seasons. I had the short rib, Bulgogi tacos, they were so dang good!! Wife had the curry noodles, I would say the best I’ve ever had!
All in all, I highly recommend this restaurant!!!

I had a great dinner in this restaurant. Great food quality. The pork belly was amazing. The chicken liver pate was delicious.
Great cocktails and vines. The service was friendly and attended. Nice atmosphere but a little bit too loud.
Pricy however great food quality.

If I could give this place twelve stars I would. From the moment my group walked in we were in awe of the beautiful decor and architecture that was open and yet cozy at the same time. Our server Justin went above and beyond with phenomenal recommendations and was just overall lovely to talk to. Now the food… This was one of the best meals I’ve had in my life. The fish collar that Current’s sister restaurant Automatic is known for got a facelift and is completely different and yet equally delicious here. My green curry dish was flavorful and lovely. I had the miso custard tart for dessert and I can’t put into words how delicious it was. It made me mad to finish it. It was the best dessert I’ve ever had.
Thank you for a fantastic birthday dinner, Current! We will be back soon!
