2022 James Beard Award Winner for Best Chef Northwest & Pacific.

Rooted in the local farm-to-table movement — a place where seasonality and culinary tradition are celebrated in tandem. One part Hawaii and one part Brooklyn. The atmosphere shares a brasserie feel with a laid-back island sensibility—a celebration and homage to all of our favorite things we enjoy eating and drinking.

Crafted with brick & reclaimed wood, our urban Hawaiian farmhouse features an open kitchen, lush plant wall, brick walls, and lots of natural light in a historic Chinatown building. The bar mixes classic and modern cocktails with artisanal flare with a well-curated wine list.

All menu items tasty, but if you’re a lover of fresh fish .. this is the place to eat it. Chef Robin works wonders with whatever she is presenting as the fish of the day. Fabulous choice of very unique wines and bartenders who know their stuff. It’s a winner.

This food is glorious! Lively, fun atmosphere. The waitstaff knew the menu and delivered full detail of 6 specials of the night over and over to every table with passion! Incredible really. Thats a lot to ask your staff to do all night long but they seemed to enjoy delivering the message of ‘Food’ that this chef inspires to make! Bravo!

Interesting food! I’d say the food is better than the drinks. Ordered the pot pie and it was delicious and hearty. We sat in the library, which was nice and cool and more quiet and spacious. Downstairs is too cozy and noisy for me. Great waitstaff.

I appreciated the space we had in the library room. It was more peaceful and better suited to conversation than downstairs can be when it is busy--and it is always busy because the food is so wonderful! Despite us being up a flight of stairs, the server was very attentive and present, and we enjoyed the evening there very much.

My friends and I were excited to try this James Beard award-winning chef's restaurant. And, we were not disappointed! The food was incredible. We tried fish, steak tartare, and beef bourguignon pot pie. Desserts are magnificent, too. The staff really knew their business. High praise for how hard they all worked. Definitely a restaurant to try. It is a small place so best to make reservations in advance.

As others have noted, interior dinning is cramped. It can get very loud. Food was okay. Sucks spending the money and leaving with a headache. It would be awesome if we socialized moderating one’s voice in such spaces. And the owner could invest in sound absorbing tech.
