    MICHELIN Plate

    2022

From the OpenTable editors: This massive open-flame restaurant charmed diners with fire pits, a wall decorated with camping gear, and warm communal vibes when it opened in 2016. It still has powerhouse status thanks to an excellent craft cocktail program and seasonal wood-fired masterpieces, which could include fire-roasted octopus with green harissa or smoked coffee-rubbed brisket.

    A teeny bit too noisy and close to other tables to be really comfy for a date night but the experience of the food makes up for it.

    Disappointing. The menu online isn’t the menu. Far too expensive to sit at uncomfortable wooden picnic tables on benches. The ribeye was delicious and service was good, but the s’mores were nearly inedible. Won’t be returning.

    I'm not particularly the type of person to write reviews for restaurants however, this establishment has exceeded my expectations. I visited for my Mother's birthday on February 9, and our experience was impeccable. We arrived 15 minutes early to our reservation and were swiftly seated after being graciously greeted by the kind hostesses. The staff had prepared a gorgeous bouquet of flowers for my Mom and wrote a handwritten birthday card. Everyone from the entrance to the exit offered 100/10 hospitality. Our server Hannah, was the epitome of amazing service. She supplied the BEST food recommendations and truly made you feel like you're wanted in the restaurant. She was beyond caring and closely took note of my Mom's dietary allergies, omitting the fish sauce in the broccoli appetizer. I have never felt more compelled to write a Google review, but Hannah's service has inspired me to publicize my genuine gratitude. She left our party smiling from the table to the car ride back home. If you have the privilege of being served by Hannah, be sure to buckle in for an excellent meal. Please tip your service workers, they deserve the world and more! Of course, the food was just as amazing as the service and atmosphere. Every dish Hannah recommended was succulent, balanced, and seasoned to perfection. This restaurant will not disappoint you!

    The Receptionist (Natalia) was absolutely spectacular. She was aware of the reservation schedule; She would check in with us so we never had to reach out. The waitress and her staff were also very conscientious. We loved the Broccoli. It was our sons 30 birthday and a festive evening! Following the meal I realized I lost one erring, when I called the restaurant, the staff looked for it near out table.
