It was a seafood night and all the dishes had really fresh seafood that was plated beautifully. Rare is communal seating and our service was at 6 PM. The other guests at the event where great and we hung out with a few of them for a couple hours after the event concluded. Amazing atmosphere and experience. Highly recommended. 1st course - oyster shooter taken as a group to get the night rolling. 2nd course - Cherry wood Smoked Lox, with a soft herb-ed cheese and scallion that was smoked in the glass before we arrived. Great effect 3rd course - Roe Stuffed Prawn with Brown Butter (my favorite of the night) 4th course - Monkfish, Mussels, and Prawns with butterball potato's in a fennel broth 5th course - grape intermezzo 6th course - Monkfish and butter curry over white Jasmine rice, served with herb garlic naan. 7th course - Fried pumpernickel coated clams, German butterball and redskin potato's with a New England Style Chowder dressing 8th course - Deconstructed Lemon Meringue Pie

Pursuit of Happiness Co is the girl she says she is!…read more The atmosphere is modern, chic, and makes me want to hang around for hours. I was personally impressed mostly by the Spritz menu. The cherry spritz, mama I dream of it still . My only qualm is that I am a stickler for good glassware ~ I would like to see the beverages with a stem. And based on the aesthetic I know the owner could find some classic glassware. We need more places like this in GR, and I need more POH in my LIFE.

It's a cute space with lots of comfy seating and a bar in the middle. It was bigger than it looks on the outside! My coworker and I came here for drinks and we got burrata and I got a guava daiquiri. The drink was sweet and tasty and the burrata was yummy. Our waiter was nice and checked on us consistently. I had a great time here and will definitely be back!

We started with the bruschetta, which was light, fresh and flavorful. My wife had the bacon wrapped pork loin, which was very tender and had a really nice sauce.

The space is cozy and comfortable, and our server was very kind and patient. The menu is concise and everything sounded delicious, so it was hard to choose. We started with an order of the crab cakes, which were fresh and flavorful. We liked the texture and bit of crunch, without being dry. My friend got the manicotti al forno and I ordered the banh mi meatloaf and the kimchi grilled cheese. The portions were large and everything I ate was delicious. I loved the kimchi grilled cheese -- it was the perfect level of cheesiness with the brightness of the kimchi. I believe the bread was parmesan crusted too, which added another level. The fries were nicely salted and perfectly crispy. The meatloaf was savory, moist, and I loved the potatoes! We got to talk to the chef/owner, Ben, who was really friendly. He changes the menu weekly, so I'm looking forward to coming back again soon. I will definitely be ordering that kimchi grilled cheese again.

If you want to find a place to try with friends, family, or a date, this is a pretty cool place to try out! There are pretty good options for food on their menu. The dishes that have borders around them are what the chefs recommend. Me and my friend decided to go that route. Warm Goat Cheese - really good! It had a really thick and gooey texture, and I felt with the warmth it added to the deliciousness to it. It really is a comforting dish to try out. I thought the Spanish tomato sauce really complimented to the warm goat cheese. They offer 6 pieces of bread; if you need more, they will give you more! Smoked Chicken Empanadas - this dish was pretty good. The shell was very crispy, but the chicken inside was actually pretty dry, to my surprise. The salsa tasted good though, and I really loved the red pepper cream. Beautiful dish though! I don't think I'd get it again though. I do prefer my empanadas slightly on the softer side. Garlic Shrimp Adobado - this was probably my favorite dish. My friend thought it was a little too strong with garlic, but what else would you expect with "roasted garlic, confit garlic butter, garlic chips" as the description?? I personally didn't find it too garlic-y. I loved it and would recommend it. It was flavorful and I loved the soft cloves of garlic. It wasn't too heavy of a dish. Smoked Bacon Wrapped Medjool Dates - this was also one of my other favorites. If you're getting this dish with other ones, my suggestion is to eat this last because the dates are naturally pretty sweet which almost make it feel like you're eating a dessert dish. The bacon was sooo good and cooked so well with the dates. Super decadent dish and unique! If you are not familiar with tapas style, the front of the menu talks about tapas and the communal aspect of it. I loved that they did it! True to tapas style, the restaurant can serve you one to two dishes at a time, which I would recommend. The service was great. Super friendly and warm. On the slower side, but I think it was just because it was pretty busy that night.

It's only because it was just not as amazing as the first. Still very good they serve everything in a mass serving so on a steak night the problem is your steak is meant to be served lukewarm essentially. They still seasoned everything perfectly. Cook it perfectly and that's how the fish prepared that would've been my only complaint posting pictures of what was on the menu that night and it was great. Highly recommend for special occasions for a date night.
