The restaurant is known for its tasty, comfortable, and relaxed atmosphere. Customers often return, praising the friendly and attentive service, as well as the solid and inventive menu items. The multicolor beet "poke" is refreshing and wonderfully seasoned, while the hand-cut pasta with venison ragout is beyond delicious. The veal meatballs in a luscious chunky tomato compote are light and very tasty, and the goat cheese cheesecake for dessert ends a marvelous, inventive meal.

Recent reviews highlight the friendly service, with one mentioning that the server helped navigate the menu smoothly and provided a complimentary beverage. Guests have described their experience as fantastic start to finish, with the best cocktail in weeks and great wine paired with incredible food, especially the Mapo rice cakes and pasta dishes. Visitors also enjoyed sitting outside for easier conversation, but praised the indoor atmosphere as well. They particularly loved the silken tofu with ginger and Molokai venison ragu, noting the sauce was so good they wish they could get a bottle to enjoy with veggies. The sausage and clam dish was also a highlight, with clams and sausage making it a memorable meal. Many look forward to returning and leaving room for dessert at this special place.
