    Went for a solstice dinner to the Harley Quinn with my mother and best friend and we had a fantastic experience! I have been walking past their holiday display for weeks and we finally went in! The food was lovely, the service was excellent, and the ambience was perfectly Christmasy! There was a couch seat for my mom so she was very comfortable and each of us had several drinks but the best was the dragonfruit margarita and the side car! Everything from the fries to the burrata to the lamb frites and burgers was delicious! Will definitely be coming back for happy hour!

    Food was great! Bossam tender and great smoky flavor with nice hints of star anise and 5 spice. Little different than what I'm used to from bossam but soo good. Calguksu was flavorful, great umami from the toasted seaweed and the beef in it was solid. Great service, nice vibe. Would recommend to anyone.
