Service was outstanding!! Super warm, knowledgeable, and attentive!! A real team effort was shown by all. Cudos!! Food was hit and miss. The menu has a lot of fun ideas that look very pretty on the plate but the looks didn’t necessarily translate into flavor. We tried 8 savory and 2 desserts. Shrimp Toast, Mushrooms, and the Strachiatella were the best dishes. We also tired the Halibut sashimi (cut weird so was hard to chew), crab noodles, their house roll, duck tacos (fat under rendered so too chewy when eating), and the Fish & Chips. Dessert were Pot a Creme and Tres Leches. The later was the better of the two. The space is really nice. Amazing to see the transformation. Perfect for the concept.

Exceptional. The food is perfection, fresh, vibrant, interesting, never obvious. The servers are stellar, personable and kind. And the space is a dream, with gorgeous decor and the vaulted ceiling with skylights. It was our second time there and we'll definitely be back.

Food was incredibly bland. Somehow the burger tasted like nothing. Only thing that had some flavor was the crab noodles
