    Buzzy restaurant, good atmosphere. Food was just not really to our taste, very salty, the dishes repeatedly smoky and vinegary in taste- I’m sure other people enjoy it though. Pork chop was very tender, but extremely salty. Other dishes- delicate squash was presented well but very small portion- more of a taster, but the flavor was kind of bitter. Overall nice atmosphere and service though.

    Dined on a Monday evening and could not believe how busy this restaurant was at 7:30pm. Was very disappointed to be squeezed between two other tables like cattle., given I had made a reservation 30 days ahead. The noise level in this restaurant in very loud and adding the conversations of too close, neighboring tables is annoying. Our server had to lean in and side talk to us, which made it difficult to get recommendations etc. Our server was, however, very good despite the crammed table arrangement. Cocktails and food was top notch, which I guess IS the point of our visit.

    In a city that makes good food look easy, this one is a stand out. Dishes are varied and packed with flavor and texture. The duck was a stand out amongst 8 dishes where the only disappointment was the caviar potato pillow just because it wasn’t as delicious as everything else. The toast and vegetable dishes were incredible, too. Great ambiance. Service was fine after a slow start. Highly recommend.
