    Always a treat to come to this spot! We live further south so we cannot come as often as we would like, but when we do we always look forward to a meal here…lunch, brunch, dinner. Highly recommend.

    Met every expectation based on the hype I had seen from it being rated in the top 10 in San Diego. The food was uniquely prepared and true to what the reviewers has said, each entree in the tasting menu was exceptional. Our family of four was attended to by what seemed like every member of the staff, they were ever present and attentive to our needs. From when they bring the meals out all at once to the explanation of the dishes, to then clearing the table all at once, service was top notch. Many thanks to the staff and chefs for such a memorable experience. They also took note of my daughters' allergies and ensured her dishes were prepared accordingly.

    We went in on a Monday night to celebrate an anniversary. It was fairly busy we think because of the all night happy hour, but regardless it was a wonderful experience. Food came out quick and was very flavorful. It took a few minutes for our server to come over and acknowledge us and get our drink order, but he was very attentive from that moment on. We will recommend this spot to our friends for sure.
