I’m so happy I had my birthday dinner here. The staff were friendly and welcoming from the start to finish. Especially Jil and our server Cameron was so knowledgeable about the various dishes and drinks we tried. My mom started with the ume blossom for her cocktail and said it was smooth. I had the margarita verde which is sweet but spicy and delicious. To start we ordered the salmon crispy rice and that was a perfect selection. That had us wanting more. We then ordered the grilled spanish octopus which was grilled to perfection. Then Mediterranean Black Cod was the star of the table. It was so buttery and delicious. It kept slipping from my fork. We also ordered the spicy chipotle lamb chops with shiso yogurt and it was a great compliment to the black cod. For a side we had the broccolini with miso tahini and it was great. Last but not least I had the citrus olive oil cake with Greek yogurt and that was the best dessert to compliment our dinner. Overall I enjoyed my dinner and had a wonderful birthday. I definitely recommend and come back!
