   Great food and service! We have wanted to go for a while and had out of town guests, so it was the perfect opportunity to try it. We will go back again!

   This is a pretty cool spot in Ballard with a chill vibe. The menu is limited but seemed eclectic enough for us to try this place out for a friend's birthday on a Friday night. The cocktails were really good. But this particular evening they were out of shrimp, hamachi, pork lumpia, and beef lumpia. We got the edamame and settled for veggie lumpia to start, both of which were great. If you're not a fan of salmon on top of the items not available, the menu gets even more limited. We settled on crab cakes, burgers, and pasta. All were good, but we were bummed out there wasn't more to choose from. The service was a bit slow, but the staff was super friendly and the atmosphere inviting so we were content to be patient. If we'd known the menu would be so limited that night, we probably would've canceled our reservation. Not the stellar first experience, but looking forward to trying them out again when everything is in stock.

   Service was awful. They served us dishes to share without serving spoons, rarely saw our server. We ordered the sampler and each food item came out 20 min apart. Wouldn’t go back

   Food and service were amazing. If you have a chance to experience the taco Tuesday…you should make a reservation asap!

   Not quite a dinner place, but we left with full stomachs. Food was very good and appropriately priced, staff was very helpful and accommodating of a pregnant diner's needs. Will almost certainly return when I can have a proper cocktail.

   The first appetizer/small plate came out 1 hour after receiving our beverages . I was very surprised to see how slow the service was especially because when we got to the restaurant there was only one other party there. Finally our entrees came out and some of our food was missing which was very frustrating because it was already such a long wait. The waiter wasn’t very pleasant, she was very dismissive, probably because she was the only waiter in the entire restaurant which can be difficult to mange on a Saturday evening.

   We showed up to the restaurant to find out it was closed for maintenance. I booked the reservation with a card and didn't even receive a courtesy call to inform us that the restaurant would be closed.
