    $9 fries
    Christina M.

    I hate to write this, but my friend and I came here as we were driving through Fairfax, and we would not go back. It was a really cute place but the prices were just way too high for food that was average, at best. The front door wouldn't shut all the way without someone physically going to shut it, so the restaurant was freezing and everyone was wearing their winter coats and hats while eating. Overall, I got too much of a pretentious vibe for a below average experience. The menu isn't that large, and mains are essentially a la carte, so you'll have to order $9 fries if you want a side, and you get the equivalent of 1 potato. The fish tacos didn't have much flavor. They were just really spicy lightly fried fish with cabbage and cotija.

    Oysters
    Allie P.

    It was time to check out the new addition to the Fairfax area. Let me first start off by saying that I love their menu. It is food that we need more of in Marin- a fun blend of different cultures. From oysters on the half shell to Korean BBQ to fried chicken it encompasses a fun variety that would satisfy any palate. With that said, the execution and flavors missed the mark on most of the dishes I tried. Let's talk ambiance first. They have 2 outside areas; the front parklet and a back patio which are both nice spaces. The inside of the restaurant has been updated but it is lacking an identity. There are no pictures or art on any of the walls. So it creates a sterile environment with no personality or warmth. Get some art please! Let us know what this restaurant represents, create a mood ..... speak! The menu as I have said is a lovely collection of food options. My only suggestion is they should add prices to the drinks, especially when they range from $11-16.... I have to say, the drinks that I tried were good. But the new 19th and Broadway now called Mac's has incredible drinks and honestly blows this place out of the water. The food has promise but needs some editing. The first are the oysters. They had some shell here and there, and the salsa Fresca was bland and did nothing for the oysters. I would suggest a fun mignonette with ginger or if they want to go the mexican route then a kicked up salsa. Maybe even a mango salsa would be fun. FYI these are $2 each on Tuesdays! If they had a better sauce I would be here all the time. The next dish we tried was the ahi poke. This dish was incredible. It was perfectly seasoned, the wonton chips were crisp, the ahi fresh. The only edit I would make would kick up the Wasabi shmear on the side of the plate. It was bland and had no heat. Following that was the Korean shortribs. The sauce was yummy and the meat was cooked nicely. The only problem with this dish is the vessel. As we all know this meat has lots of small bones. Placing it in a wooden bowl while cutting is truly an annoying task... this dish is a team effort; one person holding the other side of of bowl while the other cuts... just put it on a plate! The price for this dish is also high for what you get. The Bahn mi tacos were sad. First off I think it is great to introduce something like spam. I don't think I have ever seen it on a menu in Marin so go you! The spam was perfectly seasoned and the light breading was delightful. The problem with this is a bahn mi needs pickled vegetables and a tangy sauce. Unfortunately they just plopped on raw vegetables and the same bland shmear from the ahi dish and called it a day. Throw some pickled vegetables, make a Sriracha or jalapeño cilantro sauce and get it to that 5 stars. With so many bumps in the road, the prices are not justified. They are expensive for small dishes... so bring your $$$ when you come here. If they smooth out the bumps I would be willing to give it another shot.

    Cheeseburger and Chardonnay

    Great service and great burger! Come here a lot of the past year and the burger is always the best I've had. Corndogs are amazing. Great ambience.

    Fish tacos

    Super cute spot with tasty food and comfy patios. Highly recommend the fried chicken, which I had on a little gem salad with avocado. Delish! However: $21. A bit pricey. Also tried the fish tacos. Perfect mix of slaw, sauce, and fried fish. Again, a bit more than I've paid at other spots for similar fare. Checked out the cocktail list, which looked amazing. Would love to come back in the evening and an enjoy a Manhattan inside.

    Banh Mi Spam Tacos, Chicken Sandwich and side Fries
    Win L.

    Absolutely love the ambiance and energy of this restaurant! The hosts and staff are incredibly friendly and personable. We saw them all hustle hard to make the visit a great one for the customers. The menu options were creative. We ordered the banh mi spam tacos, chicken sandwich and a side of fries. I completely agree with other yelpers that the chicken sandwich is absolutely delicious! I also agree with other yelpers that the fries were just OK, particularly for the price. But I do think this restaurant was very lively and a great option if you're in the area. We would definitely return for the great customer service. They had really well constructed, thoughtful and nicely designed outside seating options....in front of the restaurant as well as a patio in the back... and peeking inside, I really liked the aesthetic as well. There's plenty of parking across the street from the restaurant. Overall plenty to like and will return to try other menu options and the fantastic drinks menu!

    A cool new addition to Fairfax with a city vibe. The drinks were good but I'll have to go back and try more food. The ceviche was a little too much for me but lots of things looked great on the menu.

From start to finish, he was beyond amazing--warm, welcoming, insanely knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about his craft. Every single drink was PERFECT. Not one miss. We enjoyed **all** the drinks, and each cocktail somehow got better than the last. On top of that, Víctor is just an awesome human being who makes you feel genuinely taken care of. The **location is beautiful**, the atmosphere is fun, vibrant, and incredibly enjoyable--one of those places where you instantly feel relaxed and excited to be there at the same time. Great vibes, great energy, great people. This place is a MUST, and Víctor is the reason we'll be coming back again and again. Do yourself a favor: sit at the bar, trust his recommendations, and enjoy an unforgettable night.

    The food was absolutely amazing, the service was fast even though it was a hopping Saturday night,…read moreand the chefs were zipping through orders. Tye, our server, was friendly and kind and on top of refilling waters, offering drink suggestions, and grabbing to-go boxes before we even asked for them! I had the chicken parmigiana, which was light and flavorful, and the steamed spinach that went with it was delicious (and I HATE cooked spinach, but gave it a try and actually enjoyed it for the first time ever!) The andouille sausage that was served with the pesto risotto was smoked and you could really taste it, and the spicyness was just perfect. The pesto sauce was heavy on the pine nuts in the best way. It wasn't oily or heavy on the basil or garlic like a lot of pesto sauces can be, and that left the risotto so light and almost citrusy. My cousin had the harvest garden dish, and they were stunned by how delicious it was. As a vegetarian, they are particular about their veggies, but everything was 'perfectly cooked'. At the end of the meal we were surprised by the panna cotta with the fruit remoulade, which we devoured in like three minutes haha! We really enjoyed all of the food, the service, and the ambiance. We only wish we lived closer, but might make the 90+ mile trip from Sacramento just for the amazing food now and then.

Also ordered a margarita, was delicious, balanced, & crisp/refreshing. the bathrooms were clean, the dinner crowd was coming in as we were leaving & it looked lively. hoping to stop by again for future trips. 5 stars from me & the doggo
