   Tuna tartare was delicious, as was pasta with uni butter and shrimp. Delicata squash salad was meh. GOAT gyoza arrived cold, we sent them back. Poached pear was great. Service was kind but either too attentive or not enough. Room is lovely.

   it's a bar that happens to sell food. it's uneven, unpredictable, not well paced or thoughtful.

   Service wasn't great. Appetizer and salad were great. Entrees left a little to be desired

   It's not good when you are given the worst table in the house. Right by the door and literally next to the service galley. Otherwise, the food was very good. Our waiter was good when he wanted to be good. Once the food was ordered and dropped off we couldn't find our waiter to save our lives. He would walk by but never looked our way even when we were trying to flag him down. Service really matters and finding the correct service people make or break a restaurant. For the poor service we had I would not come back to this restaurant which is unfortunate because the food was very good. There are too many great restaurants that have great service to waste time at a place that just does not care and have poorly trained staff.

    Amazing food that really gets creative with mixing Ethiopian spices and cooking styles with seafood. Really recommend the Holy Molé cocktail as something unique. Great interior design and presentation of the food. Our server was also lovely and attentive.
