Every item was amazing down to the carrots. Had the scallops, ribeye and lobster, best meal ever!

5 Stars across the board. Food was delicious, that wagyu steak was amazing, and that dessert was great. Cory, our waiter was on top of everything and was very courteous. Will have to return for sure.

I really wish there were more restaurants like this in the Riverside area. Everything was absolutely scrumptious. You could taste the freshness and quality of the food. The pasta was homemade. The sea bass was tender and juicy with a nice crust on it. The short ribs were tender and juicy. The atmosphere was somewhat casual, but don't let that fool you. The food and drinks are very upscale. This is a wonderful date night experience.

Overpriced and understaffed. Great food, great cocktails, good service but way overpriced. I love these type of restaurants but this one is more expensive than True food kitchen.

The address is not accurate in Maps. It takes you past the restaurant. So be mindful of that. It's a small place. The staff was very nice. My party and I were there for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. There were 5 of us. We all ordered something different. The food was ok. The chicken and waffles looked appetizing, but the meat was not seasoned at all. I was surprised at that. Not even salt and pepper. The shrimp and grits were very good. French Waffles were good as well. One of us had a dish with wagyu steak, eggs, and potatoes. That plate was $48, absolutely ridiculous. Portions were on the smaller side, and prices were very high. More than what I expected. We all had water, and the total was over $200. Definitely not worth the price paid. We had a lovely dining experience. A pricey one.

A large group of us popped in here to eat on our way to a funeral, with no forewarning to the restaurant. Our waitress (forgive me, because I forgot her name) was on point! We let her know that we were crunched for time, and she made it very clear that she would do her best to get everything out within our time restriction, but also explained that they are a small, made to order kitchen.

She and the kitchen staff slammed out as much wonderful food as they could in the time frame, and boxed up anything that we were unable to eat in time so thatbwe could take it with us. Me and a buddy both got a burger and were unable to eat them until after the funeral, and the burgers were still delicious!!

I can't thank you guys enough for making so much effort to make everything work!!

This was the first time here. I LOVED the Brussel sprouts; the combo of creamy, tang, and savory was amazing. I wanted to order another bowl of Brussel sprouts instead of my food. I had the fettuccine, which was yummy. I can't wait to go back and get those Brussel sprouts.

We love everything about this place, except for the fact that they still use seed oils in some dishes. Other than that, their food is clean, from farm to table with an option of organic plates and wines. We stay away from fried items as they are fried in rice brand oil but other than that this place is one of our favorite. They have a phenomenal cheeseboard.

Brussels sprouts were yummy!! But they should warn you will take at least 30+ minutes of waiting to get your food. Service was nice, but too slow. Chicken and waffles were not good, waffles too doughy. Peach Burrata salad was fresh tasting but stingy on the cheese…

It's easy to make a reservation online. It takes you to Yelp and you put in your information to set it up. I highly recommend making a reservation because this place gets really busy and there can be a long wait for a table without one. Moving on it's a hipster style restaurant with QR code menus. It's easy to see what is Vegan because it's marked with a V on the menu. VG is vegetarian. There aren't a ton of options. I went to dinner and the starter was bread that was super tasty with balsamic vinegar and oil on it. And then there were 3 vegan items to choose from for a main course. - vegan Mac and Cheese - Vegan Burger - Vegan pasta They are all delicious in their own way, but it's very expensive and it doesn't seem like any of them are very nutritious. It's tasty, but nothing super exciting. I got the vegan Mac and cheese. They use a cashew based sauce and it tastes like it has some nutritional yeast in it. It was creamy and the macaroni was cooked well. I definitely would order that again. I did really like the homemade sodas as well. It's a nice restaurant with a little bit of something for everyone.

I love love love this place! I usually come here for special occasions.

My only complaint is: the sound. It is very echo-y, it gets pretty loud in there. I really wish the owners would consider some kind of solution to make it more quiet. This would have made my experience there 100% positive.

Off the top of my head, cork ceiling/wall tiles would really help absorb a lot of the sound.

I just feel that this is a 10/10 restaurant where the only thing that hurts the experience right now is this sound issue. Maybe this is personal opinion though, I am more sound sensitive than most.
