We arrived early, and the place was almost empty. Yet they clustered everyone by the front window, like staging a "busy" scene. The tables are placed way too close together. Our table was squeezed between two other parties, with barely any comfortable distance. Aside from three or four parties, including us, the other tables were all empty. I asked to move somewhere less cramped, and the host said no--the server for that section wouldn't arrive for another half hour. I asked where else we could sit, and the host said "the bar." We felt it wasn't what we'd expected, but we could make do--better than being crammed into that tiny space. But the man working behind the bar said we couldn't because one of us is younger than 21. His attitude was cold and indifferent, with no intention of serving us at all. We simply weren't willing to return to that little corner. The host then responded, "then we can't serve you today," which was a truly jaw-dropping attitude. Okay. We left right away. With service like this, I don't expect the kitchen's any better. We go to different restaurants every weekend. We've never seen any restaurant like this one: they would rather keep tables empty than let customers have a good dining experience. They're so lazy they won't even walk a few more steps. From what I've read in other reviews, this seems to be an ongoing issue. Unfortunately, that environment isn't for us.

Food - onion rings, shrimp pappardelle, Salmon were very good and generous. The mixed drinks were excellent. The pinot was a small pour and was served warm (hot day) so clearly not properly maintained. Sent it back for ten minutes in the fridge. Would not order that again.
Cynthia
Overall wonderful experience. Great server (Nancy), food was exceptional from starters , salads to entrees will definitely be back again soon. !

Our server, Kaila was great. So was the food. Only complaints were that it was tough hearing inside due to the music and closeness of neighboring tables, and they did not have sweetner, just a syrup for my iced tea. Tough for those of us avoiding sugars.

My friend and I came here before an 8:00 show at the fox theater. We were seated right away, given menus and water, and after an appropriate time asked if we wanted something to drink. We were seated on the heated patio and could enjoy the light of the golden hour while sipping delicious passion fruit and lychee based cocktails. We ordered the brussel sprouts, gnocchi and a back up for the arancini which they were out of—little cheese filled beignets—and all were delicious! We shared everything and still had leftovers. The wait staff and manager frequently, but not annoyingly, checked in on us. We plan to come back soon.

Smaller restaurant with a well stocked bar. Very good service and food and prices are fair. We will be back for the food and vast number of drinks

It's rare to find a place that combines charm, character, and excellent cuisine so seamlessly. If you're looking for an authentic dining experience away from the bustle of the big-name spots, this restaurant is a must-visit.

Good drinks, good food, attentive service. Steak was cooked perfectly to order. Will return.

A pre cinema diner sitting outside. All of the dishes were excellent. The menu is short but well balanced, and the staff were able to flex to make the dishes fit our needs. The quality of the ingredients and cooking was of a high standard. The arancini and onion rings to start were freshly cooked and excellent. The smash burger was the tastiest I have had, and my wife was very satisfied with her Korean chicken. Reasonable prices for a quality meal.
Stacy
The food is always on point here but it is a very limited menu. But again everything is delicious. The service was good and the drinks too. Great place to go where you know the food is always great!!
They've added lunch Tu-Fri and brunch Sat-Sun, and both additions are excellent!

First time and will for sure come back very soon! My steak was delicious and the cocktails I had were super good.

Phenomenal place! Was my first time going and I will be back again! The food was absolutely incredible 10/10. The drinks equally amazing. Service was fast, staff was very attentive and quick with everything. The portions are very big and you can definitely split them amongst two people. Would highly recommend this place to everyone.
