    I went with a friend for an early dinner Sunday evening, not realizing that the restaurant closes early Sunday evening. There was only one other table in use, I think by people who work at the restaurant. Anyway, we shared a salad and some yummy pork belly nuggets and then the fish stew. Everything was quite delicious. The service was more friendly then expertly professional, kind of homey, and we enjoyed that the chef came out to check with us. The decor is quite attractive, but simple - no white tablecloths here. I checked the reviews before booking and there were some that were very negative, but I just don't get that. This is a great place for the neighborhood and we plan on returning.
