Great food, ambience and atmosphere! Glad to see another nice restaurant in PB doing well. Similar feel to North Park’s restaurants.

The food was amazing, the drinks were strong and delicious. It’s pricey but well worth it. Our service was great up until we were given our bill. She let us know that an automatic gratuity was added, which wouldn’t have been a problem if we were a large party. I work in the hospitality industry so I was taken aback as to how our party of 5 was a large party when it isn’t in most dining establishments. I thought perhaps it was the restaurant policy but upon further inspection we figured out it was automatic gratuity for parties of 6 or more, on the bill she put that we were a party if 6. Maybe since it was a slow Tuesday night she wanted to ensure she got a good tip (we were 1 of 3 other tables there). I can’t be sure why she did that but it was very off putting and made me wonder if it’s something that they do often here. If you are looking for good, rich in taste food this is the place to go. The drinks are perfect so you won’t be disappointed there either!

New favorite place! Pulled up to the restaurant at 5pm on Frida and got a space right in front. Love the interior—no one went overboard trying to make it a Pinterest board. The tuna crudo was so good we ordered it twice. Sane with the oysters. I ordered the sea bass and clams—so good! My husband ordered the arrechara (fries were crispy and savory, perfectly done). We ended with the crème brûlée. Tried both old fashioneds on menu, enjoyed the smoked old fashioned but the maple had depth of flavor. Our service was great. No complaints. Can’t wait to go back.
