I love this place and the food is always good. This time I was surprised by the prices: $30 for a salmon salad, and 3% mandatory surcharge (not advertised not justified) made this lunch a bit pricey....

Had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the chef make everything. Since we went on a Monday, wine was market price, so we enjoyed the salmon special and pork chop with a bottle of wine. Too bad they're closing the restaurant portion, because we would definitely go back. Looking forward to taking some cooking classes there though!
