Ben K.October 13, 2014"Overrated" might be a bit harsh, but was unimpressed by the creativity and size of the dishes as well as the inattentive wait staff. Wholly underwhelming and a bit frustrating due to high prices.
Zayed KhanAugust 29, 2014The creamy panna cotta with moscato vinegar and honey is astonishingly good.
Anne Mai BertelsenNovember 29, 2014Very few misses here. So relax. Take a chance and order. Pretty sure it'll be delicious
Ronald CattrysseFebruary 25, 2017Absolutely great food & chef, average to poor service (as confirmed by several other tables): you'll be a number,so just don't expect any interaction or suggestions based on your personal preferences.
Jen RiosSeptember 5, 2016Food is so fresh! Some of the dishes are raw so if you're not into sushi don't bother. A bit of a tight space but it's the city so nothing new.
- Gus BorrmannSeptember 23, 2014Fried Arroz Negro with Squid and "Ela Partiu" cocktail made me very happy. ;)
This is probably the best restaurant I have been to in the last 6 months
Sébastien FaretSeptember 11, 2022very disappointed with this restaurant. Everything starts with a cold welcome, you’re "pleased" to wait out, in the corridor because your table is not readyThe dishes are tiny, banal and OVERPRICED.
Jeff LinderOctober 7, 2016All small plates are above expectations. Throw out all preconceived notions and order away. Everything impresses, nothing disappoints.
The Corcoran GroupJanuary 17, 2014This spot is slowly becoming one of our favorite small plates destinations. While the menu isn't huge, there's a great variety of flavorful dishes. Get the beef tartare, burrata, & ricotta dumplings.

"Buzzy spot on a quiet street with very good New American cuisine. Loved the ricotta/squash, the short rib and the spaghetti. Pizzas too. Felt the grain salad and pear & leeks dishes were overdressed"

"Excellent vibe, fun drinks! The oysters were great! Also enjoyed their downstairs bar as it was moody and dark"

"The beef tartare first course is superb. Beautiful restaurant, and they brought out two complimentary desserts at our meal's end."

"French onion soup grilled cheese, holy crap. Get the slushies or ask the bartender to make you something with tequila - it will be awesome / you'll stumble out happy."
