    this restaurant offers good service and a smaller menu. i would say there is no specific food style, other than "California fusion". many different flavors combined and the menu is written for diners who know quite a lot about food, so it could be viewed as unapproachable to a more novice diner. you could expect to pay $50-80 a person dining here. i had heard quite a lot about this restaurant before dining here, which is sometimes a bad thing. while the restaurant wasn't as "amazing" as others had proclaimed, I'm having a hard time putting my finger on what felt off, perhaps it was my table with the chairs facing the kitchen entrance. maybe it was that i was drinking out of the smallest martini glass i had ever seen? hard to say. I'm sure they will continue to do well in this space, not many higher quality restaurants in the area.

    Amazing food with perfect execution and creative vibrancy. Great service paired with warm ambience enhanced our experience even more. Our favorite was the grilled pork with braised savoy cabbage, chanterelles, and pear purée. Perfectly juicy and seasoned, paired with the right amount of sweetness, acidity, and umami. Churros were also the best and most unique ones. They were slightly custardy in the middle and served with a rich and sweet/savory miso caramel sauce.

    Always a nice place to eat but none of our menu items really stood out as exceptional like some have in past visits. Fills up quickly at dinner time so the service staff had to ramp up quickly and ours got a little stressed. Overall the food was good, presentation was nice and atmosphere was as expected (excited diners enjoying each others company, conversation and cuisine). We picked a really good spot on the upper patio to stay warm on a cool evening and truly enjoyed ourselves.

    One of our party has food limitations and prefers firm fish, dishes without alliums and low to moderate spices. The only main course on the menu available with those restrictions was the Kingfish and , at $45, it was overpriced for its value. Other than that the rest of the food, the service, atmosphere and overall experience was excellent. It’s probably our fault for not checking the menu but, as this was a special occasion, the reservation was made in advance.

    Fantastic, delicious and creative food. Slow to get us seated and waiter brought wrong dish to one of our group. Loved it all in general

    Nic warmly welcomed us and Micheal was a great server. Had excellent recommendations for food and drink pairings, was attentive yet gave us space to fully enjoy the meal. The dishes were coursed out and delicious. Kingfish was cooked perfectly and the warm pumpkin cake with bourbon vanilla ice cream rounded out the evening. Cocktails and mocktail by Julia were balanced and an absolute delight.

    I've eaten here many times since it first opened and have never, ever been disappointed. Food is always delicious, service is excellent, and it's a good value. Casual yet charming.
