    My bf and I are visiting from SF and I am so glad we found this spot. The restaurant itself is very quiet and relaxed inside on a very quiet and dark block. The food was phenomenal. I had the short ribs and they were to die for! My bf had the chicken breast - it was moist and flavorful and he loved it, and a side of mashed potatoes which were super silky and delicious. Amazing service. Loved it here.
