    Loved the vibe in this unique space. Our waitress was wonderful, engaging, helpful in recommendations and available. I don't know her name because my daughter, who is a waitress at another hip local restaurant, told us we shouldn't ask a wait person's name. She's funky, with curly hair that I think was blue, and she has large rings on many fingers. My daughter and husband had oysters I'm really like them. We all had a piece of the salmon roll which was really yummy and the fish are so fresh. My daughter and I split the lamb burger and also the clam and prawns in a broth. The clams and prawns and broth were to die for - couldn't stop myself even though I was full. The lamb burger was a little too salty for me and was more well cooked than we asked, but the flavor was very good.

    My lamb burger was a mash of tzaziki overbearing the almost invisible lamb patty, so much so, that I tried to scrape the sauce completely away. The fries were good. I think my friend liked her soup and clams. Our nice waitress totally forgot to return my friend’s credit card and after 5 minutes of searching frantically for it, we had to flag the waitress down to help us. She was a bit nonchalant as to her misgiving. By the time we left at 7:30, the music and noise were unbearable . I think the place needs to be a little cleaner. And, I wish the menu had a few more options.

    Very stylish and hip place with a lot of interesting things going on. Restaurant week meal felt very overpriced for the portion sizes and some of the tastes in the starters and desserts were overpoweringly strong.

    I was excited for the opportunity to support a new restaurant (for us) during Oakland Restaurant week - unfortunately it was a disappointing experience on all levels. We arrived about 8 minutes before our 7:45 reservation, told that we were early and the table wasn’t ready so we could wait in the bar. No problem- we go over to bar, sit down and my husband goes to the bar to order a drink. Goes to pay and the bartender says it’s a $10 minimum for credit cards - okay then just move it to our tab when our table is ready. She replies back that she is way too busy to do that? Cash please?! Finally get seated at 8:10 (though we watch 3 empty tables). The waitress acknowledges the wait and apologies - then disappears....finally order the restaurant week special menu. It’s $40 per person. Soup - it was okay- served in an odd old cup/saucer. My husband had the risotto (good but served on an entirely wrong plate) and I had the roasted chicken. It was one of the worst plates I’ve had at any restaurant mushy quinoa and brown rice, no flavor chicken (a chicken leg and 2 thighs, rubbery and no seasoning) and Swiss chard with absolutely no flavor and cut with stems that were rock solid. I was offered to try something else off the menu, but we had already been waiting for so long. I passed but asked for salt and pepper - seriously table salt? Yuck. Dessert - was okay but a 2 bite piece of cake. I get portion control, but really - kind of embarrassing. They took off the additional $12 glass of wine as an apology - but with tax and tip it was still over $100 for a HORRIBLE meal. Fix your tables and chairs, consider not placing tables by the kitchen entrance - super distracting.

    How could a meal disappoint in so many ways? Pasty, lumpy, flavorless risotto that even table salt wouldn't be able to salvage. Accompanied by raw carrots, soggy mushrooms and topped with stringy sprouts. The 2 hour duration for 3 courses compounded our miserable experience. With the 40 minutes it took to get our entree, couldn't the chef at least made sure the carrots were roasted as promised in the menu? Having run a food truck before you would think the owners know a thing about quick turnover. Nuts, I should have taken the risotto to go, I needed spackle for my walls.

    They didn’t have our reservation through Opentable which was frustrating when we arrived, but they definitely did their best to accommodate us. The service was slow, a little over 2 hrs from start to finish. The food was okay, our food was cold and lacked flavor. The bar is very nice and the cocktails are good, so if we came back it would be for drinks only.

    We went for Oakland restaurant week. The waitress, who was also one of the owners was great. The food was tasty as well. We perused the regular menu and felt like the prices were great for the Bay Area. We will definitely be back.
