Wonderful soft lit space. It’s 3rd or 4th or married date night territory where you feel comfortable getting up from the chair across from your companion and same side sitting on the bench (if it’s not too full) to lean into each others ear as the DJ transitions from one song to the next. A little too loud for a first date for all the conversation required. Thursday night was a shuffle of 70s and mid 80s grooves, energy but not so much you felt compelled to bounce in your seat. $10 for a single mushroom taco is unfortunate. It was tasty, the spicing of the batter paired well with the dill crema. The okonomiyaki is great shareable value. Great service, attentive & knowledgeable, but not hovering. All our questions about dairy free items were answered, and our mocktails were great. After we had our food, we could bliss out and enjoy the DJ. A little hard wave and we got our check. An excellent night, would come back again on a weekday for downtempo electronica.

Food was ok. For the price I would imagine better flavor. The hostess very rude because if a miscommunication between her and the manager for our reservation. The 2 hour limit table is ridiculous. What is this? It’s a decent place but not worth the price for a 2 hr pressure since you sit down.

The food was really good and tasty! Everything we ordered was great except for the dumplings they tasted a bit odd. Service was really slow as well, I think the server was overwhelmed with too many tables. Overall, the ambiance was a good vibe and the DJ played good beats. Will return another day in hopes that service is quicker :)

I would go back for the service and certainly for the drinks but the food was meh. Nothing was all that good. I mean I didn’t try the entire menu of course but of five dishes I’d expect two to be knockout. And for the price it’s not worth it.
