To start off - the service here is absolutely outstanding and deserves its own 5 star review aside from the 5 stars that the food gets. read more To start off - the service here is absolutely outstanding and deserves its own 5 star review aside from the 5 stars that the food gets.

So hard to get reservations, but so worth it if you are lucky. read more So hard to get reservations, but so worth it if you are lucky.

We arrived just before 6pm and so qualified for the half off bottle of wine deal which was fun. We decided to order the restaurant week menu as well as man menu items. Standouts were the crab salad (just fresh with incredible crab flavor , eggplant with pita (just WOW, I’m not really an eggplant person but it was cooked in such a fabulous way I couldn’t get enough! , sortalini pasta (to die for…. Seriously fantastic I should’ve ordered twenty of them , and the roast pork (melty and fatty, no notes . We also really enjoyed the vegetable dumplings, shrimp, beef cheek, and sourdough bread! For dessert the soy sauce ice cream was so fun and interesting, and apple tart was perfectly crunchy and sweet (but not too sweet . Great place to go with friends or a date! Only docked one star for atmosphere because the tables were packed so closely together it was really difficult to get out from the booth haha would have loved a little more room to get out comfortably.

We ordered the bread and it came out with our last dish. They sit you shoulder to shoulder with other guests, so much so, they had to move our table in order to squeeze us it. My girlfriend had to use the bathroom during our meal and we had to interrupt other people’s dinners just so she could squeeze by. Service was poor and awkward, we ordered a bottle of wine and the server over poured my girlfriend after she said no when asked if she wanted more wine. Just left us feeling down at the end of the night. I wont be back. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Price per person: $100+
