βTotal Gem. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance--versatile enough for an intimate date, a solo dinner, or a lively group gathering. While he frog legs, soba noodles, and mushrooms were all expertly prepared, the beets in cashew ajo blanco were an absolute revelation. The wine list is equally thoughtful; I tried a Chilean Orange Semillon that was completely eye-opening. I love the cohesive perspective here--the food, wine, service, and decor all feel intentional. I'm looking forward to trying other dishes on their menu. Highly recommended.β

βIf I could, I'd give 4.5 stars, and the only reason I'm holding back is because this place was great but we ordered a limited amount. The interior is cute and comfortable and all the servers were attentive and knowledgable. We had a reservation and had no issues being seated immediately. We started with the hamachi which was 10/10 delicious. Light and refreshing and a great start to the meal. I'll admit the chicken sandwich was bigger than we anticipated and could absolutely be a meal on its own. We split it, pretending it might be too large to finish but it was too good not to. I will say the pork chop was the star of the show. This was so good that I watched my husband gnaw at the remains, not wanting to leave anything behind. The kimchi was nothing to phone home about but good, and the scallion pancake was absolutely a notch above the rest. We didn't plan on getting dessert, but the masala chai tres leches looked too good to pass up and we left nothing behind. It was rich, cinnamon-y, and super satisfying in texture. I will be dreaming about that cake! We agreed we would return at some point, and should we have a similar experience, I will bump this to 5 stars!β

βPretty good! I liked the celery salad the most, and the duck croquettes. I found some dishes missing somethings, though it was all still good. The frog legs were a bit salty and over battered for my taste, really tasted like old bay which I don't love. The pork chop was really good I just wish they put more sauce and a little bit more vegetable vegetables because splitting one mushroom and one small piece of bok choy was a little annoying especially because it was so delicious there should've been more of it. Sea bream was yummy. Really liked the coconut semifreddo, really well balanced with sweet tart creamy and pepper. Refreshing and a great way to end the meal not too sweet at all. Really like the ambience, nice wooden furniture, good art, great lighting, good volume level.β
