It was a great place for a drink and the food was very good. But overall the restaurant is overpriced on drinks and food. The staff was amazing and so it is the service. I believe they need to portion a little better or adjust the price. It is not super casual but is not formal fine dining either. For drinks and small bites likely to go back.

All of the food was great. But the service was not very attentive. Long gaps where we could not get anyone attention even to refill waters.

Every item we ordered was doused with aioli and/or deep-fried. Little was memorable and nothing of any excellence. I felt assaulted by the flavor profiles. Every dish a potential heart attack in waiting. Service was perfunctory at best. And that is being nice. Left with small plates littered with overbearing sauce after each item was delivered to us. Had to ask for clean plates. Three items we wanted to order were 86'd. No bags for the to go items. I only asked for them because I was embarrassed to leave so much food. I got the feeling that the only reason they wanted you there was to make sure their rent was paid. Nothing was terrible at all but then again nothing was exceptional. Won't come back. Shame because I was looking forward to this meal after reading so many good reviews.

I brought a group of four tonight--we each had a very good time, enjoying the food and the service. Everyone was attentive and the night couldn't have been more pleasant. Thank you, R40. We will be back.
