    We love this place, it's a special occasion place for us but we really should go more often. The food is outstanding, the presentation amazing, the staff are so kind and considerate. The blends of the dishes are well thought out, and the portion sizes just perfect. Truly amazing small 'hole in the wall' restaurant. Worth every penny.

    We planned a visit here some months ago but it took a while to organize. So very glad we persevered! Beautiful food and wine served by knowledgeable and friendly chefs and servers. If you are Ok with a fixed menu then you will love this elegant Korean/European/Asian food. (The wonderful but now defunct Michelin-starred Al's Place in San Francisco came to mind.) The atmosphere is relaxed and convivial. Prices not cheap but reasonable. We will certainly be back to try another month's offerings.

    What a lovely experience. The restaurant is small, intimate, and the chefs and owners do their best to personalize the experience and interact with each diner. You can tell they are passionate about what they do. The food was excellent, of course, but I enjoyed the atmosphere just as much!

    Service - We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation time. We and a few others were forced to wait outside the restaurant until the reservation time. The weather was cold and the heat lamp was not on to keep the patrons wam. We were seated at the worst table in the restaurant (next to the entrance) in our opinion. There was a better table that could fit four but the server sat a party of two at that table rather than us, a party of three while there were other tables for two available. Food - The ingredients were high quality but the amount of dishes and quantity do not justify the $84/person price tag. The food was good but not spectacular. Ambience - Nice setup and fairly quiet.

    The dinner was fantastic. I was looking for a reasonably priced tasting menu with lighter options, as tasting menus are often quite expensive and too filling. This one was just right. Every dish was delicious, and I especially enjoyed the beef cheek—it was tender and perfectly seasoned. I’d highly recommend it to my friends!

    The meat was inedible, with a very unpleasant taste and texture. The dessert was mediocre, and the first three courses were very good, though the sweet potato croquette was quite small.
