Love this place every time we go. The drinks are well crafted, the menu is ever changing and always has great things to try, and sitting at the chef's bench by the kitchen is a fun experience. It's a bit pricey, but it's one of our favorite place to have a nice date night. read more

Great food, lots of care and thought going on in that kitchen. Final product tastes amazing. Service left me feeling a little like I was at a Chilis. Long story short, do yourself a favor and just plan on eating at the bar facing the kitchen when you go. Had a reservation, walked in early planning to sit at the bar for awhile anyway, ended up sitting there for an hour because the hostess didn't hear me say we had a reservation and just put us on the waitlist. Not a big deal, and not really her fault (there was some chaos at the stand) but definitely doesn't give the aura of fine dining. Was great having drinks at the kitchen bar though, it smelled awesome and matched the mood better. In hindsight, we should have just stayed put there. Table service was fine but not the professionals I was expecting. Maybe I was expecting too much but I feel like I've had amazing professional service at places in the same class; The Kitchen and Fruition come to mind. Felt a little like we were being sold to and staff all seemed a little disgruntled too, so maybe it was just an off night for them, or maybe I'm getting snobby, or maybe the management needs to work on keeping morale and professionalism up. read more

Made reservations to celebrate my father's 75th birthday, for a specific window table. I reconfirmed reservation day before, when they called to be sure we would make it. When we arrived early and went to the bar the hostess said all was set. When seating time arrived they didn't have the table and sat us on the inside of the restaurant. The manager was a total DICK to me and my wife. Then they sat a fat guy with his ass hanging out of his dirty pink pants right next to us. Apparently they will allow anyone in the place, too. Then dinner bill comes at $275 for four of us which would otherwise be ok if they had good service and any understanding of what's right and proper. Save your money people - there are too many other places to go. One more thing: their beer prices and attempt at desserts are a JOKE. And the sad but also funny thing is the only response I received from OAK was how I made a spelling error. They are a bunch of freaking losers with no focus or understanding of what's important. read more

Stopped by here due to reviews and it was delicious!!! The food was impeccable. Great flavor, great temperatures! Our service was amazing. Kate was so sweet, gave excellent recommendations, prompt service, always filled the waters, EXCELLENT service. This place is a MUST read more

Absolutely horrible service and management here. The food was mediocre and the drinks were poor. I thought I'd give it a second try with my family and felt very unwelcome and like we were a bother for wanting a high chair. The transition of staff and they're triaging and handling of anything from water fills, to food running, to the way we were treated are all reasons I'm awarding Oak a "1". I tried contacting the owner/proprietor about our situation and after receiving no response, we will not be back. Boulder has better restaurant options! read more

Oak is okay. It seems like another addition to the farm fresh approach, and maybe just a little more interesting than some others. One dish claimed to have fried pig ears in the dish, but we couldn't find it and when we asked someone they said it was "underneath" - alas there was nothing underneath. The ginger beer was through the roof, and they mentioned they make and bottle all their own carbonated beverages. That gives them a plus! The small plates were delicious and creative. We had a really nice meal, and had only one complaint. The restaurant is in a high altitude location where we drink a lot of water, so having four ounce water glasses on the table that staff repeatedly come by to fill up becomes distracting...and maybe even annoying. I'd recommend this place for a nice meal. Just maybe not the place to take someone you're looking to impress with local restaurants. read more

Decided to book at the Oak on Fourteenth this past Saturday before the Ani DiFranco concert. I wanted to find a place that was close by, and not to difficult to tell our friend who was meeting us in Boulder. This seemed like the perfect place, so to Open Table to book. When we arrived, we scurried in to get out of the bitter winds and cold that was whistling around Boulder that night. Although we were a few minutes past our reservation (because parking is NEVER easy in Boulder), we were seated promptly without a wait. While still waiting for the 3rd of our party to join us, my friend and I decided to order a few apps to hold us over and of course drinks. I will admit I booked this place based on the drink menu alone. :) However when it came time to decide what to have, I wanted to go adventurous, besides my standby of a good craft beer, and so I asked our server, what was a few of the ingredients in the drink I was considering. He not only told me I picked a great one, but that it will be refreshing. Of course the name of the drink escapes me now :( My friend, who has become obsessed with her own version of Moscow Mule, decided to order one here. Little did we know, until our great server George informed us, that Oak actually makes their own ginger beer and bottles it. You could tell how great it was, after one sip of her drink. I immediately ordered one of those, once my drink was drained. For appetizers we got a bit more adventerous. We ordered the Hamachi "Crudo" with Tomatillo. I must admit, the mint that was placed on it, threw me off (I love mint flavored things, but things with mint leaves on them bother me. The tomatillos were fabulous though, however, the hamachi was drowned by the salty soy sauce and was sadly, not as good. Our other app was the Squid Ink Gnocchi and Oak Grilled Calamari. One word..YUM! there we breadcrumbs that sprinkled the top and while I am watching my carbs...it was hard not to eat up tons that night! When our 3rd party member arrived, we ordered more Moscow Mules and a 3rd app..the Blue Goat Cheese and Skillet Cornbread. Let me just say I am not a fan of Cornbread but this one was SOOOO moist. My two friends who are lovers of goat cheese, snarfed up the hunk that was on top of the cornbread, quite happy. George also let us know that all of the appetizer was locally grown, from the blue cheese that came from the western slope, to the cherries, to the Corn from the cornbread. Made me feel good to know we were eating local and you could tell in the taste! Lastly for dinner...we went with two options. One of my friends, and myself had the NY Beefstriploin with Whipped Potatoes and Baby Artichokes. While I am not a fan of artichokes,I gobbled up the steak. I had just had steak two days earlier in San Francisco, and this one beat that one for sure. My other friend ordered the Striped Bass, unsure after a bad fish experience a week before at a restaurant in Loveland if she was going to be disappointed again. To her surprise her faith was 110% renewed in fish, as her Bass was cooked perfectly, and the Olives and Chickpeas that came with it, made her quite happy. Overall, this meal was superb. The only reason I give it 4 stars..is because it was quite loud in the restaurant. Although, that IS a sign it is a good place if there were enough diners to cause the decibel levels to raise, correct? :) I would definitely go back here again. A great start to a fabulous evening before our concert at the Boulder Theater! read more

I have lived in Boulder for decades and this is one of my favorite restaurants that I return to continuously. Don't miss the kale salad!

We loved the rib eye steak, it was seasoned perfect and gave us the perfect end of day meal. I had the Cracker Jack Sundae and it made me a very happy and satisfied! Service deserves 5 stars but prices are a little high for what it is. If you are in the area and looking for a delicious dinner, don't hesitate to stop by, they deliver a great menu and you will be very attentively served. read more

My boyfriend and I visited Colorado for a week and our lunch at Oak on 14th was one of the best meals we had on our trip. We stopped in for lunch on a weekday. It was busy but we were able to snag seats at the counter facing the kitchen area. It was actually quite fascinating to see their process - everyone was very buttoned up. Same with our server. You can tell they really emphasize service and customer experience here. I ordered the spinach, quinoa and strawberry salad and a homemade root beer and my boyfriend got the burger, homemade tots and a root beer. Our server brought out our root beers first. Tall glasses with exactly 4 square ice cubes in each. She poured the bottle into the glass and it just reached the rim. Perfection. And it was delicious. My salad really hit the spot. Everything tasted fresh and it had just the right amount of dressing on it. My boyfriend loved his burger and the tots were fantastic - crunchy on the outside but creamy potato goodness on the inside. For dessert we split one of their donuts. The flavor that day was butterscotch. I was afraid it would be overly sweet but it was just right. From start to finish this was an amazing lunch. If I lived in the area this would definitely be a place I'd frequent often. read more

First and foremost samm (with two M's) is a godsend. She is a treasure that should be held tight at all costs. If she is threatening to leave then pay her more. If she is working happily then pay her more. Either way pay her more because she is the only reason that i will be a lifelong patron. Madi our server. Also an absolute treasure. Fantastic recommendations and incredible service. If you lose either of these employees. I am sure your business will suffer. Place is dynamite but these two servers put it above and beyond. read more

This review is based on one dining experience here. I liked what I had, liked the atmosphere and had a pretty good time. The service was a bit dodgy and we waited a very long time for drinks and our waiter messed up the order twice before bringing the correct drinks. There were 6 of us and we basically ordered the entire menu of small plates - things that stood out were the fried pickles, the house made meatballs in burrata and grits, the kale salad (INCREDIBLE!) and the fried green tomatoes. We had the bone marrow and it was just ridiculously overpriced. The rest of the menu was somewhat reasonable, but it was $17 for two small pieces - definitely not worth it if they have it on special again! It was tasty but not $17 tasty. I think Oak has a few kinks to work out. The kitchen is at the heart of the space and it looks clean and well run - really important for a "all eyes on chefs" style layout. I love the farm-to-table style and the remodel is really beautiful. That being said...it wasn't ALL there for me. The service and execution of some of the dishes was just a little below my expectations. I love the small/shared plates approach as well but most of the dishes just didn't hit the mark for me. read more

Had a delicious dinner on the sidewalk patio... Oak at 14th Restaurant, Boulder, CO. My wife & I decided to go with the "shared plates": 1) Wood Oven Roasted Beef Marrow with anchovy chimichurri and herb salad ...... 2) Royal Red "Shrimp & Grits" with ancho chili butter and Benton's Tennessee SmokedHam ..... 3) Crispy fried Sweetbreads with roasted beets, bacon cream & arugula ... *) bottle of Swanson 2009 Napa Valley Merlot ... very relaxing and delicious dinner! .... very good service and people watching location I would have rated the restaurant with (5) stars but the wine mark-ups were terrible! read more

Great restaurant in Boulder. Their takes on chicken and biscuits (excellent) and shrimp and grits (good) are also at acorn at the source in denver. Have only been here for brunch but looking forward to eventually dining when in boulder for dinner! Great service and upscale without being stuffy or pretentious. read more

The kale salad is out of this world. Yes, I just said "kale salad," but you will NOT be disappointed! Some of our other favorites are the butternut squash soup (impeccably served via pouring it over a marshmallow) and the tomato braised meatballs with burrata. The service here is always outstanding. Not only are the cocktails incredible, but they have a great beer and wine list. read more

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending a client dinner outing at Oak at Fourteenth and everyone truly had a wonderful time. From the moment our rather large party of 18 arrived, the entire Oak wait staff made us all feel right at home. The staff professionalism and superb level of service got even better throughout the evening. Our dinner party started with a super fun cocktail hour with plentiful selections of beer and vino along with an array of delicious appetizers to include: (perfectly) fried pickles, delectable shrimp & grits and of course the signature spoonfuls of meatballs with marinara sauce - absolutely amazing! I simply couldn't hold back each time another app was introduced. Once seated in a more private area of the restaurant, the group was presented a custom prix fixe menu with our company name and logo displayed as the menu header - a personalized touch that confirmed Oak had clearly gone the extra mile. Bonus points indeed. As each dinner course was brought out in unison, literally every selection looked utterly amazing. For my own three course meal, I opted for the shaved gala apple & kale salad, the chicken and vegetable entree and a small bowl of fruit sorbet to round it out. Each dish was extremely fresh and cooked/prepared to perfection. The other members of our group also raved about high food quality and great taste all around. Bravo! As a Chicago resident, I have unintentially become a bit of a food snob and often tend to hold a natural bias whenever visiting other cities. Oak at Fourteenth did not dissappoint and needless to say, I will surely return the next time I'm out in Boulder. read more

I normally write few paragraphs full of a well thought out opinion for a review. In this particular case, I really can't. As for Oak... let's just say I can't put my finger on it as well. In a town full of some really extravagant local foodie-fare, I'm not exactly sure how Oak fits in. It has all of the appeal of a place like Salt or the Kitchen here in Boulder, but they miss the mark on a number of places. The space is nice. The food and drink were only so-so. We had some small plates to share, and while the fried pickles were extravagant, everything else was just so rich that we couldn't even finish. For whatever reason though, I see this place sticking around, if only as a backup for when places like Happy, Salt and Kitchen are booked for a night. Overall though, the experience was pretty forgettable. read more

Date night w the misses. So great that Oak is back and rocking after the fire that closed the place for 9 months. They are firing on all cylinders as well: great service, innovative menu, casually elegant. Don't miss the pumpkin soup, fried pickles, bricked chicken... well, truth be told the entire menu is worthy of your attention. This is the kind of a place you'll keep on your "standby" list for special lunches or dinners with anyone you want to impress. Welcome back, Oak! read more

This is our new go-to place in Boulder. My husband is a cocktail enthusiast, and the bar never fails to excite. And the food...oh, the food. In Boulder, it's not unusual to find a restaurant where the service is great and the food is delicious. But at Oak, the service is fantastic and the food is one step above. The meatballs and polenta are a must-have, the fried pickles are delicious and interesting, and the pork shoulder was just incredible. It says it serves 3-4, but it served 3 people for 2+ meals each. And it was just outstanding. Oak stands out in a town filled with great restaurants. read more

Fun somewhat relaxed atmosphere but with interesting dishes and good for a fun date or business dinner. Good friendly courteous service. They wouldn't seat us until everyone showed up, so we just grabbed some good syrah at the bar first. My colleague loved the non alcoholic rehydrator, which had aloe, cranberry, lime, honey and cherry syrup. We decided to stick with small plates to share and enjoyed most of them. Loved the crispy fried pickles and the shrimp and grits - definitely our favorites. The hamachi crudo was excellent, and the Hudson Valley foie gras "toad in a hole" and the brussels sprouts were both tasty. We also got a few salads and the lamb shawarma which I think people enjoyed. The oak grilled hamachi collar was the only bad dish of the lot (we couldn't eat more than a bite) as it was definitely overcooked and dry. The servers did ask if something was wrong with it as it was the only plate left untouched at the end, but didn't really do much about it except nod when we told them. read more

It's too infrequent that we get to Boulder from Centennial but as we were up there for a housewarming party we decided to check out Oak, about which we've heard raves. And they are much deserved. The space is beautiful and has a great, hip, active vibe. Our server (Kyle) was sharp and helpful. He even helped us adjust our small plate order after pointing out two of the dishes were served on grits and might be too heavy when paired together. (And wow, was he right.) We had the short-ribs with shishito peppers which were excellent, though I was expecting a little more carmelization on the ribs. That's not a knock, just an observation. The braised meatballs with grits were fantastic. And the kale salad light and perfect. The premium beer selection is fantastic but expect wine-like pricing on craft bombers. We topped everything off with banana cream pie and decaf cappuccino. Wonderful night. Everyone there was top notch. Every staff member in our area refilled water, refolded napkins when you stepped away, etc. Would love to go again. The only reason the review isn't five stars was it seemed that somehow the bar service was a hitch all evening. We had to follow up about each round of drinks, including the coffee. Certainly not big deal, and it didn't taint our experience, but we did note it. Also, in case you're salivating over the menu while reading it on-line in your car on the way there (as we were, we had an hour to kill in the care after all) be prepared for a few changes. The on-line menu isn't completely up to date. Again, not a complaint, just a heads up. :) read more

in a word, terrific. Wow am I glad I stopped in on a friend's recommendation as I get to Boulder occasionally on business..not sure I ever would have know about Oak...but it was a great meal, sat at the kitchen area bar and watched Steve do all his prep work and cooking, it was impressive to see the detail and work that went into organizing the dishes, the plating etc. Only sorry I could not sample more of the menu as I was solo at dinner. But did have the crunchy fried pickles-unusually good, and the calamari starter-excellent-I could have had this as my entree. Then went to the Colorado Lamb with Farro, it was excellent-cooked to perfection and the whole dish worked. Good local beer, had a little wine and conversation with both Byran and Steve... Overall, great service, and I recommend to anyone who likes to cook to sit over by the prep area/oven to watch the process. These guys are pros. As Arnold used to say "Ahhhll be back" This is a must stop for any foodie in Boulder. Really. read more

At an upscale restaurant you expect upscale experience. What we got was nice, but did not meet expectations. When we arrived, we were greeted to a very loud and busy night. Granted this was Boulder First Bite, so it was to be expected. We were seated promptly for our reservations, and we were generally treated to nice service. For our first course, we got kale salad and butternut squash soup. The were both delicious! We were on our way to becoming satisfied customers. But things went downhill from there. For our second course, we ordered the pumpkin ravioli and chicken entree. They were both delicious, but the serving size of the ravioli was laughable - only 5 squares of ravioli. Who is that supposed to feed? I know it is an unwritten rule at upscale restaurants to have small portions so that you order 4 or 5 courses and spend a lot of money, but this was insulting. For our third course, we got root beer floats. They were very disappointing. The root beer was sugary and did not have much flavor. The ice cream was creamy, but didn't have much flavor. And the cookie bites tasted bland and dry. Seriously, the worst dessert I have ever had at an upscale restaurant. Not terrible, but other places are better, such as the Kitchen or Mateo. read more

This has become my favorite GO-TO lunch spot in Boulder! The first time I came here, it was my two year anniversary and we had everything from the tomato braised meatballs, apple kale salad, crispy pork belly, and I think my wife had the scallops (not sure though) First of all, those meatballs are TO DIE FOR!!! Best meatballs ever! Made with burrata cheese, and laid over Anson Mills grits --- I've taken a few co-workers in just to try those meatballs, and they totally agree! Plus their serving of bread and butter makes a perfect pairing for it. Then comes their Oak Grilled Double Cheeseburger: gruyere cheese, harissa aioli, house made tater tots (you can add fried pickle or fried egg or Tender Belly Farm bacon...) I was floored! For only $13, this was a GOURMET burger that should cost $20 or more!!! I highly recommend this place. Easy to set reservations. I use Open Table. Perfect ambiance. Good place to discuss business too! read more

My husband and I went for the first time, for our 10th anniversary. Totally impressed. They provide us with complimentary sparkling wine when we arrived and the server told us happy anniversary right off the bat. ALL of food was AMAZING. The duck, I can't say enough good things about it. The only reason it's not getting the full five stars is I feel it was a bit rushed. We were asked by the hostess to order everything at once since most of what they cook is in a wood fire grill. We had barely finished our app when dinner arrived. I didn't have a chance to drink my cocktail before the main course and wine. I wish we would have ordered that separately so it would have been a little slower. read more

Great place for lunch! Had the Apple and Kale Salad and the Tomato soup and Pesto grilled cheese... Both were amazing! When we walked in they had a line of Apple Fritters at the bar... Couldn't resist and took one Togo (delicious)! Prices were moderate and the service was spectacular. The restaurant itself is also really clean and has a great vibe to it read more

The food is very good and the ambiance is ok. I felt the prices were very high for the overall dining experience. At the time, the restaurant charged a requirements 24% gratuity on everything... including the bottle of wine we purchased. That's just not right. read more

Went here for dinner then lunch the next day. Thats how perfect this restaurant is! Food, Service, Ambience. Well done. Will my lunch server was one of the best waiters i have encountered in many years. I forget who was our dinner server... he seemed scattered anyway. Shaved Brussel Prout Caesar ~ epic Roasted Sunchoke salad, so savory and yummy. Onion soup ~ velvety good, chips too small and got soggy. Meatballs were moist, tender but lacked a little flavor. read more

This was our second time dining at Oak, and although we love the food as well as the drinks, the service on our consecutive visit was AWEFUL. We were served by George, a waiter who was reminiscent of a bad John Cleese-or maybe just a Parisian subway pick-pocket. Needless to say, the level of patronizing was a bit abrupt. We felt rushed and on a time frame dictated by the chef, even though we were clearly there to spend some serious time and cash on appetizers, drinks and entrees. Next time (if there even is a next time) I really hope not to feel obligated to whip out my notebook to comprehend the outrageous hot air of George and "his" group of chef's and their institution of exclusivity. Back off on the inflated service and let the food speak for itself. read more

One of the best dining experiences I have had. The food was phenomenal and the service was impeccable. We started with the octopus and shared the halibut and ricotta agnolotti with Kong crab. We shared a bottle of wine as well and never had to top or own glass off. They surprised us with bon bons for dessert since we we're celebrating a birthday. Amazing! read more

Absolutely fabulous restaurant just of Pearl in Boulder. Had the most delicious meal here...actually two..first a light luncheon and then dinner. Every dish was top notch...and the pasta main dishes were conversation stopping. Cocktails are perfect. Kale and apple salad crisp and fresh. We loved the gin and tonics and amaretto sour. But then wine by the glass also great. Also try hamachi crude. A must eat!!! read more

I adore Oak. I would eat here every day if I could. I have had every dish on the menu at one point or another and never been disappointed. It is the best place to take clients or out of town guests- it always impresses. My company had our holiday party here last winter and are still talking about how good it was - service, food, drinks, everything. The wine and cocktail menu are extensive and delicious(and the house made soda is great for lunch). the wood fired grill and oven make for the most delicious meat and fish dishes you could imagine - the Hamachi Collar - OMG. The Kale salad is also a classic and I have had a few naughty dreams about the meatballs and the shrimp and grits. My favorite time to go is after 10pm on the weekends for the late night happy hour when the food and drinks are cheap and they pass out free pretzels (the most delicious, buttery, warm pretzel you have ever had). read more

In the same vein of The Kitchen as far as locally sourced, fresh, organic ingredients in the "American New" theme goes, but with a top notch cocktail list to go along with it. I would have to say that this may be my new favorite cocktail spot in Boulder- even if you can't get a table it's totally worth a stop at the bar for a drink and app. The service was also fabulous- they definitely brought the Frasca vibe from their friends down the street- but not too overbearing by any means. Not to miss: Mo's Special- My perfect cocktail, 2 and I'm pretty much down for the count :) The fried pickles, roasted cauliflower (i mean I pretty much loved all the small plates) the chicken (probably one of the most moist and delicious chicken meals I have ever tasted!) and the pork chop...still dreaming about that home made sausage. I wasn't too impressed by the dessert selection, but what I selected- the root beer float- was absolute perfection. Hooray for a new delicious spot in Boulder! read more

This place was recommended by a fellow Yelper, so we stopped in for lunch. We had some delicious food including the BLT with pork belly and side arugula salad, the pastrami sandwich with house chips, and the donut of the day (cinnamon and chocolate). The flavors and presentation were very good and the service was exceptional (thank you Zack). The cinnamon sauce on the donut was the stuff of dreams - I could have raided the kitchen and stolen it all without hesitation. read more

Service - stellar. These people know how to treat customers and genuinely care about what they're doing. All around. Atmosphere - I was afraid before going there the first time that it would be stuffy and pretentious. Not at all. Great social scene, not too loud where you can't hear your date or group. Nice mix of private tables, bar tables and bar seating. Bar area specifically can get a bit cramped at busy times. Food - their smaller plates / shareable aps are amazing. The Brussel sprout salad is excellent. I've not had one of these dishes I didn't love. The entrees aren't as mind blowing. I've had the pasta there once and wasn't impressed. Their shareable aps are plenty in variety and size and are more than sufficient as a meal or shared meal. Drinks - stellar. I'm a beer and wine drinker and very rarely have hard alcohol. Everything I've either ordered or tried is wonderful - you can't go wrong on this menu with anything. They do a great job of pairing wine with food if you're in the mood for that instead and don't want to make a decision yourself. Yay Oak! read more

My hubby and I have just moved to Boulder. This was where we ate the first night, having had a long week and a long plane trip, we wanted something special. The food was delicious, although I felt the complimentary bread they brought out was overly salty. (I have yet to find good bread in this city. My search continues.) We both got the porkloin with creamed spinach and sweet potatoes, and it was excellent. They were happily able to accommodate my husband's gluten intolerance. The waiters all wore crisp white shirts and dark jeans, and came by our table frequently to refill our water glasses from a bottle they left on the table. There are no drink snatchers at this restaurant - they are water fillers instead! They need to come by frequently because the water glasses they give you are orange juice glasses in disguise. It soon became a source of amusement for us, but next time I'm asking for a wine glass or something. The place is noisy. REALLY noisy. Disappointingly so for the quality of the food. I ended up scooting over to the corner of the table so my husband could hear me. We were seated by the bar area, and there was a tall counter right behind us. I was wary of getting beer accidentally spilled down my back, but no incidents, fortunately. We'll definitely be going back for the food! read more

Really 2.5 stars. I feel the food and overall experience has been in steady decline over the past year. Food server - Really excellent (5+ stars). She was delightful, attentive, and patient with a moderately large group this round. Thank you Erin! Bar server attitudes - Just terrible (as always). It really puzzles me how the guy all spiffed-up in his vest , etc, and arrogant beyond words is employed at a place that is otherwise so welcoming. Actually ALL of the bar staff are clearly sure they are too cool to serve drinks. Really can't figure-out the COLD and SMUG attitude. This alone will keep me away at this point and I've probably spent over $2,500 there in the past 18 months. Puzzling indeed. Food - Decent (2.5 stars), middle of the road. Very well presented but 1/2 of our dishes at the table had clearly been sitting in the Pass for some time. Lukewarm Duck, Fish, and Ravioli and the sides/garnish were straight-up cold. Flavors were good but not great. E.g., 5-spice duck ought to taste just little like 5-spice. In general, the seasoning fell flat. It was a real surprise. Yes, the Kale salad was and is excellent! That was nice to see. Victim of their own success? Maybe. read more

Never been disappointed for sure. Plate sizes are small and place is definitely upscale. I highly recommend the Tomato Braised Meatballs. It's definitely a must have. read more
