Great service , great food , great fun . Went on a pop-up 9 course tasting menu night and had a blast . Very reasonable and very complete way to navigate the menu . Place was absolutely buzzing with happy diners on on a rainy gloomy evening . Lovely foodie experience that didn’t break the bank . Will be back !!

We loved the Piranha ? steak, we ordered the dish with the eggplant and noodles as well, all 4 of us loved our food. This is actually one of my favorite restaurants in SB, kind of a hidden gem that I tell everyone about. I love the early bird special too, though did not partake of it last night.

We tried their Sunday supper 9 course tasting menu and were not disappointed! The bone marrow, udon noodles and the pistachio cake were standouts. The fish crudo wasnt very flavorful, not sure if it was the fish choice or the freshness of the fish. Service was outstanding.
