- Crysta sMay 18, 2017Pork belly was really good! Sashimi was really fresh and delicious. A+ for the food, but the style of dining was definitely not for my group.
- Johanna SperzagniApril 20, 2014Sea bass & pork belly are worth it. The octopus fritter special was very ordinary. Oysters were good but pricey for only two pieces. I would come back for the warm dishes...they are more fulfilling.
- You have to admire a chef that offers a wide variety of beers for a cuisine that has nuanced delicate flavors. Everything from an IPA to a tart lambic-like wild ale to Oyster stout (yes) to yam beer.
