    Went here for the pre-dinner snacks. Good ambience, attentive service and delicious food. Both Tartar and Onigiri was great and there were no misses on the menu. Would come back for full meal.

    We had the tasting experience and it was sooooooo good!!! Everything was great including service. The only complaint that I have are the fruit flies that we were constantly swatting away. Other than that it would have been a perfect birthday evening.

    Delicious food, interesting menu and an enticing array of cocktails (driving later so only one for me, but I tasted my son’s and it was equally appealing). Server was friendly and informative, present when needed and never intrusive; food and drink came quickly even at prime brunch time (noon res) when the place seemed at least ¾ full. Would definitely return when in town; fun atmosphere for cocktails, and I’d like to sample the dinner menu. Yum!

    Food was outstanding. Cocktails were impressive! Another non-alcoholic beer would be a good addition. :)

    So happy to have this spot in the neighborhood! The interior is so beautiful and cozy and the food is outstanding. Their sandwiches are a steal at $12! Can't wait to come back and try some cocktails!
