We had the Chef's Tasting Menu and we liked most everything, the favorites of our group were the Mandu, crudo, pork belly, sausage, and short ribs. The elastin in the steak was so tough it made it impossible to bite or chew so no one in our group of seven liked or ate it. The cocktails are creative and delicious but way too expensive at around $17 each. The overall take away is that the service is fantastic, the cocktails are delicious, the food is mostly great, but it is far too expensive.

Fantastic meal, will definitely return. The only reason I gave the food 4/5 was that the steak was a little sinewy, they had changed the sirloin to a flank steak and it just didn’t meet our expectations. But everything else was fantastic, definitely get the cabbage and the Caesar, can’t wait for our next visit to try other dishes and drinks!

The 3-course meals were fabulous. The flavors of the food were intricate and meshed well with one another. However, it took about 30 minutes for the first plate of food to get to our table. While we know that the preparation of food takes awhile, it would’ve been nice to receive them in a timely manner. The explanation of the food was a bit rushed,but overall, it was good experience. It’s pricey, but well worth it if there’s a special occasion.
