                                                          Fantastic spot in Ptown for two vegetarians to go on a date night! There were more options than we could eat - a rarity in town. And they were all delicious!

                                                          Ate outside. Food comes quickly. Everything is always great here. Risotto had too much cheese for me was the only hicup. Always the best choice in P-town, especially before/after ferry.

                                                          Fast becoming one of our favorite restaurants in town. Small plates are larger than you’d expect and large plates are enormous. Favorites have been Dan Dan Noodles and the sushi rolls but all the food we’ve had so far is great as are the drinks. Terrific specialty cocktails and four different non alcoholic beers which is great for those who want a non alcoholic drink choice. Atmosphere is relaxed but also very clean and service is attentive but not overbearing. Can’t recommend it enough.

                                                          The food never disappoints here. Neither do the drinks. From interesting beer to imaginative cocktails the beverages are stellar. And the food. Chef Colin has outdone himself. Sushi rolls with a creative twist? Check. Large plates that are flavorful and interesting? Check. Great sandwiches and appetizers? Check. There is something here for everyone.
