Food and vibes are pretty good but feels a bit overpriced.
For starter we ordered a selection of oysters - pretty fresh with a wide selection of source though didn’t tell too much of a difference (lol), and crudo - the sauce has a sour taste to it, super appetizing and blends well with the fish.
For main we ordered the steak - tastes good but pretty standard, and clam pasta with fish roe - savory but a bit on the salty side.
Dessert was pretty sweet.
Our server was super nice. Maybe we went a bit early so didn’t catch the movie.
~$100 pp post tax and tip

Josue made there service a 10/10! Very attentive and you can tell he loves his job. He needs to become a lead server if he isn’t already. Great job.

The food was a 10/10 as well, full of flavor. We had the smaller bites but it did the job.

The drinks top notch

The atmosphere is great as well, it’s feels like a high end movie theater with food and great cocktails.

I had booked a table at this restaurant for a very special occasion, Janine had confirmed the reservation for a private dining room. After having gotten confirmation via email, Janine suddenly canceled on our party last minute without giving any explanation. After multiple calls and emails I did not receive any explanation, alternative solution, Or apology from Janine. I really liked this restaurant, but it is a shame how it has lost in service.

A recommendation from another restaurant. So delicious. Went as a walk in when they opened at five. Wow. One of the top ten meals of my life. Great wife selects. Great mains — did the pork chop and the pasta with my date. I’m sending all my friends here

We celebrated a birthday and the service was attentive, but not intrusive. The hostess and server acknowledged the celebration and even got a special dessert. All parties in our group enjoyed the food and drinks. This was our first time to the restaurant but will not be our last.

(asked my other friends who have gone for dinner) i will be coming back to try their dinner menu and to bring other friends and family.

The service was a little slow but I was okay because it was a busy Friday nite. The food was delicious. Their menus change frequently and the oysters were fresh and tasty. Be ready to spend a little more but it's well worth it. There's indoor and outdoor seating. When dusk hits outdoor dining transforms into a trip to the past with old movies playing on a bldg wall with those old drive in mobie speaker boxes. I loved it personally. The indoor was tastefully done it felt a bit more upscale. I'll definitely be back.

Carpaccio and halibut crudo for starts, absolutely amazing. Never really think of halibut as a fish for crudo. It was a dish that I will remember for a very long time. Entrees 5 spice duck and waygu bavette. Both were outstanding, I wish I was enjoying them again as I'm writing this.

Outstanding. Delicious and creative food in a great space with extremely friendly employees. We had a great dinner on the patio with our group and enjoyed everything including the movie!

Chicken was so salty I could only eat three bites and there was barely any hummus on my plate. The rosemary focaccia bread was sooo strong on the rosemary, not pleasant at all. The fig, prosciutto and cheese platter did not even have fresh cheese. It was cold and rubbery. Oysters were the highlight of the meal. Other dishes were really disappointing.

Incredible experience! They really know how to take care of their guests here. The food was delicious and our server went above and beyond to make our anniversary dinner special.
