I meet with friends this lovely spot often! This is the best place to dine. I visit this spot many times. The cooking is of high quality, the crew is polite and the price is reasonable. I like going in this spot to have a tasty meal.

So me and my wife was looking for somewhere for dinner neay by. Yelp showed us this place so we decided to try it. As you can tell by the stars it was not a good experience. We both got steals but the server came to us and said they made my wife the wrong item. Made her the burger instead, he offered her to keep the burger at 50% off. She declined because she wanted the food she ordered so now we had to wait for her food. When her food finally arrived her steak was rare after she asked for medium. Overall just a bad experience having to wait for your food and sending it back multiple times for it to be prepared right. Then after all this he brought the check and after their mistakes you'd think he would give us the discount becaue he offered it initially but no he didnt. So we payed and left.

Great place to have dinner with your significant other. The food was very good, highly recommend the uni tartar. The menu is decently priced as well. I would come back again to try other dishes.

We went there for dinner on Saturday. I'd heard rave reviews from a family member so we really wanted to give it a try. It was empty when we got there but it was after 6pm. There was a person without reservations who came in just as we did and she was told that they were fully booked but would still accommodate her party. I thought it was nice and I felt relieved that the place wasn't going to be empty on Saturday after all (that was my concern when we got there). Right off the bat, the menu looked like from some dated diner with a very upscale prices. It felt weird. Then came the food...the crab cake was really good but a little cold in the middle. Scallops were good but nothing to rave about. Crab and cream cheese pockets a.k.a crab Rangoon were very good but they didn't taste any different then from an average takeout. My lobster risotto was very mushy. It wasn't an Italian style creamy aldente risotto you'd expect but rather a porridge like mush with some cream sauce. The lobster was hard to find in the dish. Overall and for the price it was disappointing. My husband didn't like his wagyu beef burger at all. We paid $100 for both (no drinks). I should mention that we got crab Rangoon as our dessert because we were still hungry after 2 appetizers and an entree. We are normally full after 1 appetizer and an entree at other places so that's telling. When we were leaving 2 hours later, the restaurant was still empty with only 4 tables filled. It's fair to say that with so many great choices in this city, we won't be back. 1 star for crab cakes 1 star for byob Service was mediocre

Wowza! You ever crave a fat squid ink sac? Not many do I understand. But for you ink sac lovers please treat yourself to the pasta. The noodles are drowning in all that ink. They don't just add a drop like other "fancy" seafood spots nope, they give you the whole goddam Pacific Ocean. Fine a** ink sacs. Nonetheless, that pasta was bomb! Buttery perfection, and not fishy at all! Oh and it's byob so bring your boxed wine bitchez
