"The food and drinks were good but our waiter really made it a great experience."See more

"Went for dinner. Worth a try but still needs some work. The service was attentive, the menu was limited, but everything we ordered was quite good, creative and satisfying. The room needs some additional attention, and the noise level was so high we had to move to the back room to hear ourselves (or the waitress). Maybe a better place to go for drinks and bites than a proper meal."See more

"We sat outside on a beautiful day, so this review can't speak to the noise/ambience inside. But the few tables outside are lovely and even though they're outside, the service was excellent. My husband and I had cocktails, which were all delicious, and the happy hour menu includes great options -- not just well drinks and bar food, like a lot of happy hours around town. The raw oysters were fantastic, as were the crispy mushrooms and the BBQ-dusted fingerling potatoes. (All on the happy hour menu.) Also on HH were a paloma and old fashioned, which wasn't sweet or pre-mixed. Highly recommend both, as well as the New Romantic, a tart not overly sweet gin cocktail that is not on the HH menu but well-worth the splurge. We also had the charred snow peas (garlicky and citrusy), octopus al pastor tostada, and Patchamama pork chop katsu, which was gigantic. Everything was inventive and exceptional although my husband and I had mixed reviews on the octopus tostada. He loved it, I hated it. But I'm not a huge octopus fan. We definitely over ordered, but still got dessert: a passion fruit custard with lime sorbet. It was good, but didn't quite measure up to the rest of the meal, which was outstanding. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back."See more

"We had several different waiters and it was slightly confusing as to who was assigned to us. My friend ordered her meal a certain way and it was sent out the wrong way, but they were accommodating and fixed it quickly. We weren't offered water/tea refills very often, and when the table sat down next to us, the woman hit her head against a dangerous light switch on the wall that wasn't clearly marked. It was a weird night. The food was tasty though, especially the Impossible Burger."See more
