   The host had trouble finding our reaervation I had to find my email confirmation. After being seated we waited quite some time with no service. In fact another table came in after md was served immediately. This is frustrating since we were looking to order a bottle of wine. The beer sale was the best thing we had. Excellent. The rest of the Mel was disappointing. We had the short ribs with udon noodles. The short rib was rather stringy mushy and watery. The noodles lacked flavor as well. The grilled oysters were nothing like New Orleans though admittedly we are spoiled. They were small and the back. Bits completely overpowered. There was no oyster flavor and the tiny oysters were overcooked. The trout was the worst dish. The potatoes nd carrots were so severely undercooked chunks you could not even bite them. Inedible. The fish itself was not fresh and was soft md mushy. Really terrible dish. The prices were fair and the waitress was good. We will not be going back however.

   What an excellent experience! The service was top notch, food was tasty and hot, and the ambiance was fun and pretty. My husband I ordered the crab lettuce wraps, lamb chops, beef kabobs, grilled oysters and tuna tartare… we’d give everything 5 stars. The only item we didn’t love was the crab bruschetta due to the amount of mayo but the bruschetta bread was soft and delicious and crab was fresh and abundant. We’ll definitely come back to this restaurant.

   Trendy hip restaurant. Casual and welcoming with a local feel. Service excellent and on point. A few minutes after we were seated our server Mary introduced herself and checked on us frequently. She had several recommendations in regard to the food and wine and was very savvy about the menu. Tapas very reasonably priced and portions exactly as one would expect. All the servers who assisted with bringing plates to our table were friendly and professional. The wine list diverse and user friendly. Bottle of wine very reasonable. Ours cost $38. A large variety of small plates to choose from. The pork belly as well as the brussels’ sprouts were excellent. Duck confit also excellent with the cabbage and candied carrots. Those carrots were ridiculously delicious - a must have. The “Mac and crab” full of chunks of crab - no fillers- good. Scallops with bacon, good. Grilled oysters, good. Lamb chops slightly overcooked for my personal taste but the seasoning excellent. The trout papillote - a nice presentation but I thought slightly salty and overcooked. For dessert the banana bread pudding fabulous! Noise level moderate, acceptable as we could easily talk and hear each other. A great experience and a restaurant one could go back to over and over again! I understand the menu changes seasonally. For now I’m just looking forward to returning to try the roasted beet salad, the tenderloin kebabs and the short rib udon.

    The food was very delicious, good portions, well prepared. They have a wide selection of drinks. You will spend some $ so be prepared, but I think comparable to other restaurants in the area.
