    Very avant garde menu. Fresh, but for a meat eater, maybe not be your place.

    Good food, although they were out of the short ribs that night and 1/2 of our party had their heart set on it. Ambience was good. All in all a great place!
    The SovengardResponded on November 7, 2019
    Thanks Daina, sorry we were out of your selections though. That's sometime the pleasure and the pain of working with small, local producers. Hope to have you back sometime soon!

    Simple, elegant and surprising flavor profiles. Two days later, I am still thinking about the pickled gooseberries and the smoked beets.

    Awesome, thanks a lot Nicholas!

    The food and service were great, the overall feel of the restaurant is fun and interesting. Unfortunately it was not possible to have a conversation as the music volume was slowly turned up throughout the night and the tables near us shouted to out talk the music. Would still suggested this restaurant, just not a place to go to have any meaningful conversation unless you like shouting
    The SovengardResponded on October 9, 2019
    So sorry to hear the music spoiled part of your evening Alex. We normally have it pretty chill, and will be sure to keep an eye on it. We appreciate the helpful feedback!
