I'll be honest - my heart sank as we got there, I almost cried. The neighborhood is *sketch*. The outside of the restaurant didn't look like much - but I felt better once we got in. Beautifully decorated with great lighting, lounge-style atmosphere. Great Latin music. We sat on the bar side as it was less busy. Beautiful bar with lots of options! Bartender made us **amazing** margaritas... omg were they strong! Loved it! Since we had never been there before, we played it safe. First we went with a fried calamari appetizer - not the best, but not bad - but then it's not typically something you'd order at a Mexican food restaurant. Boyfriend had the street steak tacos as main - hold the cheese as he forgot his lactaid, lol - and I had the steak quesadilla. Delicious! We loved it. The steak was especially well seasoned, not overcooked and sides were yummy. We ended the evening with churros - definitely homemade and on par with the ones we love at El Mirador in NH. Boyfriend even took his life in his hands and had some of the ice cream, couldn't resist - it was that good! Overall, as Boyfriend put it - this is absolutely a hidden gem type of spot - service was spectacular, food was delicious and we would totally return! (**Seated next to us were two young women on an obvious first date - girl #1 showed up, then girl #2 showed up a few minutes later with a big bouquet of flowers... what a nice touch! We just wanted to put it out in the universe - we hope you guys make it, you were super cute :)**)

I had ordered lemonade but after checking, it looked like they were out, so he offered the juice (without explaining). Food was very tasty. Lunch was $37 before tip, for 3 tacos meal, 3 empanadas app, and the fruit drink.

I've had the pleasure and privilege of dining at some of the most reputable establishments in NYC and LA, and this ranks in the top tier. The flavors were intricate yet subtle, and I loved that it was vegetable forward. My "Not a Negroni" was the best Negroni I've had, hands down. I wasn't sure how the Rum and Pineapple Amaro would work together, but they were exquisite compliments. The homemade sourdough and butter came out hot and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. It was hard to resist ordering more. A simple salad of lettuces, cucumber, cheese and light dressing blew my mind -- perfect for summer. I got the dauphine potatoes, which were like potato croquettes, and the addition of prosciutto made them a hearty and filling dish. The only miss for me were the desserts -- the flavor of the lemon tart was excellent but there was a jello-like encasing that seemed out of place and unnecessary. The mousse also had these strange jello-like pieces in the cream, which didn't really work for me. Next time, I would get the sundae. Our server, Amanda, was friendly and attentive without being overly watchful, and when she got busy, the host came over and helped us order drinks. This place is a gem, and I look forward to returning.

Nothing really called to us for a full meal, but we decided to share the crackers and pimento cheese, which was perfect for having something to snack on while we enjoyed our drinks.

The restaurant is gorgeous, in a former bank, they have a parking lot and a small patio. We loved the dark and moody vibe of the place. I was very excited to try some of this chefs work after drooling over the menu for weeks. We were welcomed by Vince, who was super friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. He provided great service through the whole meal. We started with martinis, they have a great cocktail program. I ordered a dirty martini with blue cheese olives and it was perfect, and strong. We also opted to try the Oyster Shooter, how fun! It was an oyster served with a little shot of gin with cucumber. The shot was sweeter than I expected, but I simply had to try it. We probably didn't need an appetizer, but luckily the Bao buns were the perfect size for two. The Korean fried chicken was crisp and moist and coated with a thick sweet and spicy sauce. It definitely had some heat, but it was a nice heat. The peanuts and cilantro paired great with the buns. Besides the menu, they had a number of specials for the evening, so keep your options open. We did decide to stick to the menu though. I ordered the signature duck and my sister ordered the porcini ravioli. The duck dish was stunning, I couldn't take enough photos of it, and the taste blew me away. The duck was so crispy and tender, the fatty flavor reminds you of a holiday. The carrot puree, potatoes, greens and cherries added complexity and balance to the plate. I never finish my dinner, and I ate every morsel on this plate. The porcini ravioli was no different, it was incredible. The thick creamy sauce had so much flavor we were trying to guess what was in it. It was so rich and dreamy and the additional of walnuts was a fun crunch. If you love mushrooms, get this. We loved this meal, and I will rave about it. I am coming back for the pork belly dish, soon.

Outstanding Food, but Service and One Dish Fell Short…read more I want to be clear: this is one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at, anywhere. The food, the chef's talent, the ambience, and the overall experience are exceptional. That said, our visit last night was slightly disappointing. I made reservations two weeks in advance to celebrate my wife's birthday. Unless you're planning to sit at the bar, reservations here are practically a necessity -- although not absolutely required by the restaurant. Given that, the restaurant more/less knows in advance how many guests it needs to accommodate. We arrived on time, were quickly seated at our table, and, just as on our previous visit, were greeted by a very friendly server who brought my wife a glass of champagne. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. Aside from the two drinks we ordered, 40 minutes passed without any food arriving. We were still waiting for bread. At that point, I had run out of patience and asked our server about the delay. Within five minutes, we received bread and were told that the restaurant had gotten busy quickly and the kitchen had fallen behind. I understand that unexpected rushes happen. However, at a restaurant of this caliber, where reservations are in all practicality needed, a delay of this length is difficult to understand. Especially for bread. Our appetizers took approximately 60 minutes to arrive. We ordered a dozen oysters and pork sopes, and both were absolutely excellent. For my main course, I ordered the gnocchi with tiger shrimp, which was stellar. My wife ordered one of the specials: squid ink risotto with scallops and sausage, along with side of tiger shrimp. She enjoyed the dish, and there was no question that the risotto was properly cooked and the seafood was excellent. The issue was the sausage. To be clear, the sausage itself was excellent. Unfortunately, its flavor overpowered the risotto and seafood rather than complementing them. The ingredients were individually good, but together, they didn't quite work. In short, the dish fell short of what I would expect from this restaurant and its chef. I have tremendous respect for the talent in this kitchen, which is precisely why I believe the restaurant is capable of better. The dish wasn't bad by any means; it just didn't seem balanced like everything else we have had there. Dessert was cheesecake, and was a solid 10 out of 10. Had we not waited 40 minutes for bread and nearly an hour for appetizers, I probably would have overlooked the shortcomings and given the restaurant the rating I believe it would ordinarily deserve: 5 out of 5 stars. However, the lengthy delays, combined with a dish that didn't quite live up to expectations, make it difficult for me to give a perfect score. I'll give it 4 out of 5 stars, and I wouldn't go any lower because I know just how exceptional this restaurant and its chef can be. This was our first visit in about a year, and I sincerely hope the issues we experienced were an exception rather than a new pattern. This restaurant has earned a tremendous amount of respect from me, and I would happily return. My critique comes from a place of appreciation for what it does so well. When a restaurant sets the bar this high, it's only natural to hope that every visit lives up to it.
