“ My favorite is the toasted duck breast, the meat was very nice and tender, and the skin was really crispy. The veal ravioli also stood out to me, super creamy. And service was INCREDIBLE. ”
“ Excellent choice for a business dinner. Ai Fiori delivers a refined dining experience with exceptional service, elegant ambiance, and perfectly executed dishes.

“ Certainly great experience with sleek interiors and attentive service. I started with the Tuna Tartare, which was both flavorful and full of subtle surprises. The green beans were pickled with a bold tang that reminded me of traditional Southern Chinese pickling techniques—unexpected but delightful. The peppers weren’t pickled, but still carried a strong, almost fermented complexity. The quail egg had a perfectly runny yolk—creamy and rich. The purple potato chips turned out to be crunchy and fun. The potato dice was especially impressive—smooth, tender, and almost buttery in texture. The tuna itself was fresh and cleanly cut, holding its own against the punchy accompaniments. For the main course, I went with the Fiori Burger, and it was a bit of a mixed experience. The beef patty itself was the highlight—expertly cooked, very tender and juicy, though leaning a little salty for my palate. The sun-dried tomato added a touch of sweetness that helped balance the richness, and the cheese was pleasantly thick and melty. The bun was quite underwhelming—texturally mediocre and didn’t hold up to the juicy patty. The fries, though crispy, were just average. It’s certainly a more refined take than average $10 burgers. ”
“ My husband surprised me with a birthday celebration @ Ai Fiori. We were here 2 years ago for my birthday and I can definitely say we loved the experience better this time around overall. All dishes from appetizer to dessert was amazing. They can accommodate sharing portions. The servers (especially) Solomon, waiters and the new manager were very warm. Their food is gastronomical. They have an excellent roster of chef this time around that makes mouthwatering dishes! Must try: crab pasta, lobster bisque, duck, halibut, apple dessert and chocolate coffee cake, even their gelato is good! Will definitely be back more often! ”
“ I was incredibly impressed by the Michelin stars awarded to this restaurant! My visit was absolutely delightful, thanks to the exceptional service provided by the attentive staff. They went out of their way to make my celebration truly special, surprising me with a scrumptious cake. Along with this thoughtful gesture, I was treated to a meticulously crafted multi-course menu designed to showcase the delicious flavors of the season. It was a truly memorable dining experience that exceeded all my expectations. ”
