Debi Oa month agoI was very excited to try this restaurant. It’s been around for a long time, and the space itself is beautiful. We arrived fairly close to closing time, so perhaps that played a role in our experience. We started with the $8 sourdough bread. The bread was clearly fresh, but it was served cold. It came with a seaweed butter, and neither of us felt the flavors worked well together. We asked for regular butter instead and were charged an additional $1. I don’t mind paying for extras, but it added to the disappointment when the food itself wasn’t enjoyable. My cocktail sounded and looked like a mezcal Old Fashioned, but it tasted more like cough syrup and had virtually no mezcal flavor. After one sip, I decided not to order another drink. I mentioned it to our server, but nothing really changed. The rigatoni had potential flavor-wise, but the pasta was very tough. I asked for it to be cooked longer, but it came back still undercooked. The $40 pork dish was even more disappointing. It was served with lamb’s quarter, which I later learned is a wild spinach-like vegetable. The combination simply didn’t work for me. The dish also included mushrooms and a blueberry sauce. Somehow the blueberries tasted sour, and the overall flavor profile was very strange. Our server had recommended the dish, saying it was very good, so I went with it. Unfortunately, it was one of the least enjoyable restaurant dishes I’ve had in quite some time. To her credit, the server offered to bring me something else, but I was ultimately charged for the replacement item as well. By that point it was already 9:30 PM, we’d just come from an event, and we were starving. My partner is generally good about simply deciding not to return to a restaurant and moving on, so we ate what we could and called it a night. What bothers me most isn’t the bill—it’s feeling like we wasted both our evening and our money. We had been having a wonderful night until dinner. Bad food genuinely makes me sad, especially when I was so excited to try a place with such a strong reputation. Rating: * Atmosphere: 4/5 * Food: 2/5 * Overall: Disappointing experience in an otherwise beautiful space.
Kabby Hong4 months agoOrder the chicken. I know. You never order chicken when you eat out. I’m the same. This chicken is different. It’s special. Unbelievably moist with a crisp skin and an incredibly flavorful lemon butter sauce. It’s the best chicken dish I’ve ever had. Other highlights include the rigatoni which is so full of deep, pork flavor and the kale salad which is bright and fresh. The steak tartare was a miss for me even though every table seemed to order it. They serve it with warm greens on top which warm up the tartare which I prefer to be served cold. The clam linguini tasted more like a carbonara instead of a seafood pasta. Overall though the food is absolutely delicious.
Jesus Goatache6 months agoAmazing experience. Our waitress Kodie was amazing, recommended all her favorite dishes and they were all outstanding. Highlights of the night were the Pastured Chicken, Rigatoni, Mafalde, and the Beef Tartare. The drinks were also really good. Would definitely come back.
Jenny Liu5 months ago10/10 food - I recently came with a large group for a bachelorette and did a tasting/family style menu and truly enjoyed my meal sooo much and am still thinking about the dishes I had!! Highlights were all the apps, fermented miso pasta, mafalde pasta, steak, and the sourdough was insane. Friendly staff as well but could’ve been a tiny bit more attentive on the service side ie. missing wine glasses and forgetting to bring out one set of dishes/utensils, prompting us to ask a few times.
Anton Revich2 months agoThe pasta was light, refreshing and well balanced. Paired with the most amazing wine. There sourdough bread and beef carpaccio was perfectly balanced. Fresh ingredients that changes monthly is what i expect from a fine dining restaurant. Waiter was well knowledgeable and helped guide us throughout our dinner
