  We went for brunch and it was by far the best meal we have ever had in recent memory. We had the smoked tuna toast, little gem, crispy rice, sausage and cheese sandwich, and Nutella flan. Not sure which was our favorite but probably the little gem or crispy rice. The entire staff was lovely and very accomodating with our very picky 4 year old son. We can not wait to go back.

  This place is doing everything it can to kill the kitchen, which is putting out good to excellent food. Service is absolutely atrocious. Took 3 1/2 hours for dinner for six people. Drinks took 30 minutes to arrive. Couldn't order food until an hour after being seated. Just shoddy all around. The pork belly is amazing, though. Truly unforgettable dish there. Don't go until they solve their service issues. Or if you must go, go on a weekday when it hopefully isn't as crowded. EDIT: the restaurant reached out to me to apologize for my experience and offered me a chance to go back. This was a nice gesture and I wanted to publicly acknowledge that.

  Restaraunt is a cozy place that feels bright and lively. Sat at a high top, with a view of the kitchen and bar. I loved watching all the delicious plates being assembled and brought past. She has another winner with this place!

  There is outstanding variety and we enjoyed many novel flavors. Small plates were mostly shareable but you should have at least one entree. The staff were very helpful with the needs of our two very distracted grandsons - we came at 5 which helped make this manageable. But I wouldn't attempt that again!

  I took my parents opening night and every part of our experience here was absolutely wonderful. We had four appetizers (the bread and butter, the three cheese plate, the roasted cabbage, and the charred okra) and three entrees (the red snapper, the duck, and the crab fat rice). We each tried all the food, and everything was so delicious! Hats off to the waitstaff, who were extremely knowledgeable and made us feel so welcome. Lastly, compliments to the chef, who has definitely earned her reputation and various awards. I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!
