   Tiny room, quite loud on a Thursday night. Food more "interesting" than satisfying and delicious. Umi panna cotta was the standout, the frog legs and clams were misses. And, like all restaurants post-pandemic, the prices are dizzyingly high. Not worth it, though we're glad we gave it a shot.

   Menu consists of a bunch of small plates which in my opinion were very expensive for their size. Taste was good but nothing special. Paid $220 for 2 people, each with 1 drink and 5 dishes, both of us were not completely full and came home and had a snack. I thought that price was just too much for what the experience was.

    This was our first time at Here's Looking At You. We'll definitely be back. The three of us shared bay scallops, Shishito peppers, Clams, Ahi Tostadas, Hamachi, and Stracciatella with peppers and bread. Excellent cocktails and very nice wines by the glass accompanied it. The service was excellent. A very eclectic group of diners. We were clearly the oldest, but were welcomed warmly and had a great meal. Convenient valet parking is just next door.

    I don’t get the hype. The food was terrible. Flavors were totally off balance and the cuisine mashup that is maybe the draw is just not working (Sweet beans in cheese?). Also overpriced for what it is. Haven’t had such a bad experience like this before. Would not recommend and have no plans to return.

    Ever go to a nice restaurant and feel like you don't understand the fancy food? You won't have that problem at this popular restaurant! Creative cocktails that taste delicious, familiar, but also unexpectedly delightful combine with plates of Asian inspired flavors that makes you go both "wow!" and "mmmmmmmmm!" And after trying plate after plate of fun and tasty food, you'll also find yourself full, happy, and most likely, looking forward to more (on your next visit). I did! Enjoy your visit!

    Interesting fusion of Asian and French cuisine…however some of the dishes lacked balance. The tiki themed drink menu didn’t seem to match with the food menu. Overall for the price and all the public fanfare, I was expecting more. The frog legs were the best dish we had, but we will not be returning.

    Came for a birthday dinner, and the food was incredible. Favorites were the escargot skewers with the perfect amount of char and smoke and the perfectly cooked duck confit with crispy skin and delicious sauce. Will definitely be back to try more dishes!

    Lovely little neighborhood haunt that attracts people from far and wide. Lovely atmosphere, small, intimate, not terribly loud though. Menu is mostly small plates, and as usual you will have trouble finding enough starch and veggies to balance out the richness of the meat and seafood; but such is modern cuisine. Cocktails are inventive and good; but slow to arrive.

    The food was delicious! We loved every dish that we got. I would recommend just for the food! The tables are very close together so it's hard not to overhear people sitting next you. The drinks are also very small for $17 each, that was the one thing that didn't feel worth the price. Would go back for the food but not for drinks.

    The drinks at the bar were excellent, however the food was extremely poor. My girlfriend and I left very disappointed on a birthday dinner we were otherwise excited for and will be going to somewhere else to celebrate because the meal was not worthy of a celebration. When I pay 25$ plus for dishes the size of tapas, I expect thoughtful plates with well sourced ingredients. The kitchen failed on both fronts. For instance, the tomato salad. The hearts of palm tasted like they were from Trader Joe’s and the tomatoes were crunchy and watery. Any farmers market heirloom would taste better for 5$ what we paid 25$ for. If I had gone to the farmers market, purchased a tomato and dressed it in salt and evoo, my dish would’ve been much preferred. I recently had a tomato salad with just heirlooms and fish sauce for 1/2 the price that was easily 2x the dish. Yes, the garnishes looked nice on camera & social media but they were nothing more than a superfluous textural element. Menu: all over the place, lacking identity and hard to eat. The best thing we had was the bone marrow, but at 30$, it was good for maybe a bite or two and the bread was the best part of the dish. The frogs legs had good flavor but the same sauce on a meatier chicken wing for less $ would’ve been preferred as frog meat lacks differentiators other than its small size and extra bones. We joked with the couple next to us this would be the worst possible food to eat on a date and they agreed. I said my part on the salad and the other dish we had were the scallops, which were small and in a broth that seemed like it was halfway to a pho but forgot all the other ingredients. I write this because I was disappointed on a special occasion but also because the drinks were phenomenal and there is such high potential as evidenced by your reviews and crowd. If the kitchen could develop an identity and focus on dishes to compliment the cocktails, I would go back & recommend it to my friends.

    75% of the menu included chicken liver, escargot, frog’s legs, and just about every other repulsive animal organ/appendage you can think of. If this fare is for you, then great. But for me and most others, it felt as though they were trying to offend their guests as much as possible by serving inaccessible/disgusting food. We left without ordering dinner. The drinks were outstanding, though.
