Always great. Always friendly. Always accommodating. One of our dishes was over-spiced and the server let us switch to another option, no questions asked. We appreciate the responsiveness and the hospitality

Went here with a friend and I ordered so much food! Everything I ate, was delicious & I thoroughly enjoyed. Originally wanted to sit outside but my friend had her little daughter with her & it was cold. We were able to get a table inside but I preferred a booth with my bad back, the booth would be better. They were accommodating but at the same time some people with their facial expressions made it seem customers were a burden asking to be seated at the booth. Place seemed pretty clean. There was a young gentleman that seemed to be very attentive at cleaning & picking up any trash he sees drops to the floor. Our server was decent. Lack of attentiveness where we needed utensils, napkins, drinks & take away containers. Nearly everything I had was delicious & I was satisfied. My friend recommended this place for dinner. She had the baja snapper tacos & roasted carrots & brussels sprouts, which she stated it’s her usual order. I had a taste of the roasted carrots & brussels sprouts & it was some delicious veggies. Her daughter had the kid’s mac and cheese with mixed half regular fries and half sweet potato fries & root beer. I ordered so many items from the BITES & SHARE section & 3 out of the 4 items I ordered I enjoyed. queso poblano dip, pork belly, & süda tuna tower were all delicious. I recommend trying if you haven’t or if you like cheese, pork belly, tuna, or if you haven’t try or scared to try, just try it! My least favorite was probably the sticky korean cauliflower. The batter was crispy on most & some seem to had a bit much much batter. I like gojujang but it couldn’t save the flavorless cauliflower or some cauliflower were over done. I had there specials did that night, which was the butternut squash ravioli with sweet corn & I ate it all! I was so full I had to take some things to go & ordered a chocolate mousse for dessert to go.

The burger I had was delicious. My husband had the braised short rib ragu. He loved it and I did too when I tasted it. The preparations were thoughtful and full of layers of flavor. I had a mocktail (ginger cardamom cooler) - spicy in a good way and fresh. We will return.

Food was great. Seriously incredible meal actually. Our servers were kind and accommodating. I got my food about 10 minutes after my friends but not a big deal. We sat outside with no lights or heater and it was absolutely freezing cold. The staff tried really hard to get the heaters on to no avail. Very disappointed by the ambiance and comfort of my party. Will only go back if I can get a table inside or takeout.

The whole experience was great. From reception and seating to service, beverages and food.
Our waitress Jade was on point the whole night. Very friendly, super knowledgeable on both the cocktail and food menus, explaining flavors and techniques.
Food and beverages were all well presented and flavorful. Highlights were the brick chicken, pork belly, roasted carrots and Brussels sprouts, as well as the Korean inspired cauliflower.
We’ll definitely be back!
