Service is generally good, they sometimes get a bit distracted but are generally nice and attentive. Foodwise- they seem to be trying too hard. We tried the tasting menu, $60 pp. So many different dishes that just don't seem to work together. Lots of pickled veggies, a whole fish, anchovies on a tiny hollow piece of bread crust...it certainly kept us entertained, but it didn't work, and no single main dish stood out. Dessert was probably the highlight. I hear the menu changes seasonally. So, it might just be that the current edition is not so good. Based on my last experience, would love to come back for a drink but, not the food.

Meals were unfortunately quite lack luster considering the prices. Waitress recommended the tomato dish which ended up just being a large plate of raw tomatoes for 15 dollars, tapas plate included strange items like whole chunks of picked carrot and desperately needed a side of bread or similar to eat the preserved meats with. The "larger" mains we ordered tasted fine but we're also tapas sized, we didn't have drinks but the bill still came to more than $60 each and we were all still fairly hungry. Not a horrendous experience but definitely expected better considering the positive hype around this place, left with an unpleasant feeling that our money could have been better spent on dinner elsewhere.

This is despite a number of vacant regular tables/chairs being visible. I said my back prevented...sitting on a stool, that we'd booked well in advance specified indoors. Response was the confirm email would have said stools it DID NOT (see pic), that we could sit at a temporary plastic table outside or we could use back booth in empty bar space downstairs no reason why we could not have one of the vacant tables. Very poor handling. Judging from other very recent bad reviews re food service, I'm glad we opted to leave.

Cute place. Very nice cocktails. The service was very good. The staff were very attentive. Nice clean toilets. read more Cute place. Very nice cocktails. The service was very good. The staff were very attentive. Nice clean toilets.
