If you don't have a reservation, it's usually easy to secure a spot at the bar for a full dining service. A neighborhood favorite.

Yellowtail tasted far too "fishy" and the so-called pastrami shortribs were greasy pastrami. Both were $ 30. Robbery. We gave our feedback to the bartender (we were sitting at the bar) and he made no effort to "get it right". I will not be back. The dining room was nice ... parking was awful in the neighborhood.

Menu is limited. One person did not like the pork. The other thought the short pastrami ribs were fat and of no value. The burger was good. Though very energetic, it's not really a place for $ 30 starters - much looser. Stick with the burger and a cocktail or beer.

The issue came from being seated 5 10 minutes late and 10 minutes before the 90 minute cut off they came around with boxes and said everyone had to leave in 10 minutes. This led to everyone rushing to pack up their boxes and pay in a full dining room and felt very rushed and being kicked out. This was not the servers fault and they were trying their best to have everyone pay, help them pack up and turn around the room in 25 minutes before the next seating. It was disappointing end to a lovely tea and unfair on staff and customers to put such a quick turnaround and no earlier warnings.
