The sparkling rosé was very nice and we enjoyed both the liquid chocolate and s’mores desserts. We sat on the patio which was nice, but there is a surprising amount of road noise. The service was just ok. I think we would have had a better experience if we had ordered small plates.

I had planned on getting Bibimbop Koren BBQ until they said it didn’t come in a hot stone bowl which is a key component so the rice gets crispy so I went with the ribeye which I wouldn’t normally get unless I was at a steakhouse, but it looked great in the pictures. And it was good. It’s mildly seasoned, but the butter on top and the spicy sauce on the side adds a nice flavor. The fingerling potatoes were good, but they were on a bed of puréed sweet potatoes that tastes like baby food and didn’t have much flavor and certainly didn’t add to the dish potatoes on potatoes?!? the salad was just taking up room and the dried radish ? added nothing to the dish. My dining companions udon noodles were too spicy to eat and she likes spice and there was no warning on the menu. The dessert bites were delish a little burst or flavor that reminded of a Michelin course. Both deserts liquid chocolate and s’mores were good. If you are looking for something fruity and a little lighter, I’d go with the liquid chocolate. But the chocolate squares in the s’mores was divine.
