“I would come back to St. Louis just to eat here.” —my wife.The attention to detail here is absolutely phenomenal. From napkin placement, to the service to the food, the quality is unmatched. We started with the walnut red pepper dip and the peach caprese special. Had the short rib, lobster risotto special and roasted carrots for dinner and then orange cake for dessert, plus a bottle of wine. The serving sizes were ample and the flavors and textures were a delight.One of the best dining experiences of our lives.Thanks Brian for the excellent service, we will be back!

The food was amazing. The first time in a long time that every single dish was 100% devoured. Everything was so savory and the atmosphere was cozy and light. Would recommend a date night.

The environment is beautiful, the food top rate and the chef himself went out of his way to make sure I had a meal that worked for my dietary restrictions. They are a gift to our neighborhood. Everyone I know who dines there raves about it.

Love this place... a smaller restaurant space with a nice patio. Cute neighborhood with multiple eateries.Food is gorgeous, adventurous, and super flavorful. Most of the dishes here will be something you've never had or an Asian twist on something you have had.I had the roasted red pepper dip (yum! and the gnocchi in a curry sauce (this was my favorite ? . I also had a burrata special and the sirai cocktail. Everything was great.Easy to have a fully vegetarian (or not meal here and if you want spicy-hot (or not they can accommodate. Wonderful friendly staff!

Excellent food and great place for friend gathering. I recommend short rib and duck breast. The crispy pork belly is also terrificParking: There are some street parking space before 6 pm
