We had high hopes for this restaurant after it was recommended by our hotel.  I think the place…read moregets a lot of hotel-referred traffic as the side street located restaurant was full tourists.  The cramped quarters are fine and it will give you the NYC village feel. We liked the creativity of the menu and some of the chances they took with ingredients.  When service is slow and unsteady, it always impacts the experience and the way the food can be enjoyed.  Waiving down waiters for drinks is always a buzz kill before a buzz,  as is watching diners arrive later and get theirs first.   The tuna tartare was fresh and tasty when it did show up. I am not a big capers fan so i was pleasantly surprised when it had none.  The crunchy rice strings added some  texture and made the presentation at the table a photo shot (not shown here). I was slow before they mixed it table-side with a fresh quail egg.  I had high hopes for the shrimp dish.  The presentation was great but the tiny shrimp were overwhelmed by the crunchy, but oil soaked outside shell.  Maybe we drew a bad batch.  The sea bass was sad.  When a fish is served skin side up it needs to be crispy and ours was soggy and tasteless.  We love pasta so were hoping the tortelloni would save the dish. It did not but could have. One of them had unfolded and they were too al dente. The price to servicing size to quality were off balance.  There were other dishes that may have been better but we will not know since we would venture to other places before we returned.

A beautiful tapas restaurant with truly unique flavor combinations for some of the best fusion…read morecuisine I've ever had! Every dish had a unique flavor element that excited my pallet. The only downside was that we were seated in the corner of the restaurant so there was no light on our table. I had to hold my phone's flashlight up to the food for the entire meal. What we ordered Salad with duck in hoisin sauce, sweet and salty forward salad, paired with thinly sliced apples, pine nuts, pomegranate, and peanuts. Familar flavors that taste like a Chinese chicken salad's cousin. Tagliatelle pasta in a light cream sauce with mushrooms and pine nuts. The folds of the tagliatelle perfectly soaked up the sauce. Nice al dente with some cheese and onion shavings on top. Duck breast in a djon mustard sweet gravy paired with an assortment of vegetables. I enjoyed the rich gravy with the duck. Salmon ceviche paired with mango mouse. A bright creamy flavor, fresh fish, colorful with crostini. Butterfish from the azores, grilled foie gra, topiko. Butterfish is light and clean with a sugar caramelized top, loved the crunch of the bonito, went with a shoyu based sauce. Very little foie gras. Grilled octopus slices with edamame, roasted sweet potatoes, and a poached egg. The octopus was perfectly cooked and lightly smoky, some chili oil in the edamame added a light kick. Nice light dish that emphasized the octopus flavor.

Nothing stood out and because I'm writing this several months late, I can't remember if anything was good. It wasn't bad, but honestly at this point I can't remember. I think people came here more to drink. I'd have to go back to get a better assessment of this place. It's been so long, I have very little memory of it other than what I started to write and that didn't look promising.

The table next to us had the best looking drinks served in fun and appetizing ways. My tea was served in the best teapot. The salmon and veggies was delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned.

EVERYONE was speaking English, so that was helpful. Diogo our server was friendly, attentive, and helpful. We will be back again for sure! Eat here!

It was a pleasant surprise to find it...the food was OK - we found the service kind and helpful but the food not so authentic. Quite pricey. Beef noodle soup - tasted mostly like soy sauce base. Noodles were thin egg noodles but not the right kind. Felt like linguine lol. Beef was plentiful and tender though. Lu rou fan - decent for Asian food in Europe standards, could use much fatty pork belly, more sugar, star anise, and five spice powder. Was on the dry side and for some reason there were fried tempura flakes. Gua bao - seemed like their most authentic menu item with all the right ingredients, tasted pretty good. Overall it served our craving but wouldn't return or recommend it to friends.
