    A great menu- lots of fun options. The food was delicious. The black and fish tostada was terrific. It was a little chilly by the front garage style door where we were seated. Hopefully they can find a way to warm it up, especially with winter on the way. Definitely recommend Food Lab for great food and fun cocktails
