we had a great time when we came for dinner. the food was amazing and the ambiance was great! we did complimentary valet and our attendant was super helpful and kind! his name was Danny. he pointed us in all the right directions and made sure we didnt miss checking out the VW in the hotel lobby. would definitely come back and recommend to others. read more

Jose was the best of the best server! I was blown away by his attentiveness and his recommendations for drink pairings with my meal. The skuna bay salmon was a 15/10... it's the #1 protein I eat, but I've never had anything as good as the salmon served here. Jose recommended the petit chablis for my wine pairing and he was right on the money. For dessert I had the chocolate passion fruit semifreddo, another excellent suggestion. All in all, clearly I'm blown away from start to finish. Vibe was fun and welcoming and loved that I could bring my dog to enjoy this incredible dinner by my side. read more

Im extremely disappointed that your events team did not want to make an exception for my party needs. We are a party of 17, (8 adults, the rest of the party are grade school children, and a baby and 1 year old) We were celebrating the end of the school al year and wanted to come in at noon. We did not want to do a pre fix menus since the majority of the party are children who likely just wanted Mac and cheese. So paying $75 for lunch or $135 for dinner seems very unreasonable. If a normal party of 14 can be reserved fine, but an exception can't be made for 17 with 2 children under the age of 2, it seems a bit ridiculous. Good restaurant, good food. but That zero star service in my opinion. And to me that's everything. read more

Been here many times and the service is a hit or miss. Food is a hit every time. The hosts at the front can sometimes give a cold, snooty attitude. The servers are sometimes on top of it and sometimes they disappear for awhile and we have to flag down a randomly passing employee. Came to try brunch. Everything was pretty good but of course the goat empanadas were a big hit for our friends, who were trying it for the first time. So good, we ordered another. We ended up getting a handful of dishes and the kitchen seemed a little confused so some of our orders got mixed up/forgotton. Coffee was light. Ambience is nice with all the greenery. Parking is a little difficult, they make you valet. Or you can risk parking at the Google lot. read more

Came for my birthday dinner and loved it! If you know Stephanie's style, then you can see this whole menu has that Izard flair - there's a Latin or Asian flair to every dish because she loves that punch of flavor. And it works! I would have most of these again! We started with drinks of course. Her cocktails are expensive ($20-23 per) so we veered into wine which was a hair bit more palatable ($17-20). I had a Syrah and boyfriend had the Cab. It was cool to hear that Stephanie personally picks what is featured and we have to say, her picks were right up our alley. Disco fries - awesome. Fries topped with pork, cotija cheese, jalapeños, and pickled onions. Savory, spicy, with that pop of acid. What's missing? A sweet element you say? She got you covered with a drizzle of coconut that can't be seen but can be tasted. Goat Empanadas: the Izard namesake. Super flaky pastry and the goat was treated exceptionally well. If you didn't tell me it was goat, I would have just assumed pork. The hucatay sauce was herby and delicious. We also used it for the fries. Hamachi Crudo: really liked her play on textures and flavors here. The puffed rice and the hamachi were really nice foils, but the true star were those peels of kumquat which are totally in season now - bright, citrusy, tart. Salmon - this was a tad on the salt bomb side for me. The miso base was salty because duh, miso. But then then salmon was also aggressively seasoned before having a sichuan spice oil generously covering it. The salmon was cooked perfectly otherwise. Pandan flan: toasted rice, macerated strawberries, and creamy pandan flavor. No complaints lol. I would definitely welcome a repeat experience. We didn't try any of the big plates because we really wanted to variety. read more

This place has a seasonal menu and located inside an outdoor type of unit. So you can get a nice outdoor view while eating. I feel like this is a brunch spot as we ordered from the brunch menu. Potato Crepe (5/5): This is like the Vietnamese bánh xèo but with potato instead of the egg. It's really think so a good bang for your buck. I never had sauce with potato, so that was interesting. The outside is crunch but the inside is soft as it's balanced. The Vietnamese sausage tasted more like a regular sausage. Yolk onomokiyaki (3/5): I thought this was okay. It tasted like a fried with a bunch of random flavor. Goat empanadas (5/5): This seemed like a classic. The breading was perfectly fluffy and crusty. The meat was flavorful and comforting Overall I would like to try other things next time as everything was so unique. I'd love to see o their next menu. read more

Finally had a chance to dine at Valley Goat and it did not disappoint! Our party of 5 was seated at one of their round tables and it's easy to be distracted by all the beautiful green decor and vinyls in the restaurant. Our server was exceptional from beginning to end and promptly took our order and water was constantly filled at the table. He was not kidding when he said the food would come out quickly, and because the table space is small, we had to keep divvying up the food and clearing out the large plates. We ordered the hamachi poke which was refreshing and loved the puffed rice. Goat empanadas were flaky and buttery, could have easily eaten a whole plate to myself. Disco fries were very tasty and loved by all. The green beans were a tad salty but really good as well. Chickpea fritters were also good, the goat yogurt was a nice touch. We ordered the grilled eggplant and sticky shank as our mains. The eggplant skin was too charred for our taste, but really liked the carrot tahini and the fresh baked pita was so good we ordered another. The shank was one of my favorites, so tender and flavorful. Loved wrapping it in the lettuce, though the pear kimchi could have had more flavor and spice. For dessert we had the mango sticky rice and the pandan flan. The pandan flan was easily my favorite! We also had cocktails and while the espresso martini was good, I didn't like the smoky flavor to it. We all really enjoyed the food but it is quite loud with the music that it's hard to hear one another talk. read more

Girl and the goat is one of my favorite places to eat in Chicago. So I have been looking forward to trying this place sing it opened. Located by the treehouse hotel, plenty of parking but lot can get busy at times. When we made a reservation there was no specification of indoor or outdoor seating. Unfortunately we were seated outdoor and it was quite windy and chilly despite the heat lamps. We tried the goat empanadas which were good the spicy salmon dip which was delicious. The wood fired cauliflower was just ok. For the main we had the short rib which was pretty large and the pickled salad accompaniment was spot on. Price is a bid on moderate high, as the total for two of us was ~150 without drinks. Service was hit or miss, there were long gaps between dishes, so much so that we opted not to wait for dessert. Glad I tried it, but probably will not be a regular dinner spot for me read more

Unfortunately, recent experience was not good. About a 1.5 star experience. Only saving a star/half star for the flavors of the food. Everything else huge downhill. Scheduled an 11AM reservation for my girlfriend's birthday. Front of house mentioned happy birthday. After that, no mention from waiter. Upon walking to our seats, the seats were absolutely stained. I looked at it for a few seconds, but just had girlfriend sit on a cleaner portion and I took the L. Completely acknowledge I could have spoken up here to ask for a different seat...but still shocked staff wanted to sit us there. Two of us ordered: -handroll dip $25 -temple fizz $16 -beef skewer $24 -pork belly $28 -avo dip $17 Portions are small here. Even for tapas. Waiter forgot our drink. It was sitting at the bar and only brought over once second dish came out and I asked where it was. Avo dip was also forgotten. After all the food came, I asked where it was and he went back and got it. Paying the bill and getting the card back also took forever. Not a good experience. Value is not there. Service is non existent. Food flavors are good, but with the cost and lack of attentiveness, I would look elsewhere. read more

Un. frickin. Believable. Some of the most favorable food I've ever had in my life. Dinned at a Michelin star restaurant the night before, and honestly, preferred Valley Goat. We ordered essentially the entire menu for my gfs birthday w many friends and family. Service was fine, but could be improved. Can't stop thinking about the food though. Highlights: skirt steak, quinoa/poke salad, pork shank, asparagus, branzino. read more

Valley Goat - Pork Shanks - New American Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Beautiful farm to table restaurant in the treetop hotel. You're definitely paying for the beautiful leafy decor and Instagrammable photos. Both indoor seating and patio seating which is adjacent to the beer garden. Overall the menu is intriguing and unique, this would have been a five stars for us if the portions fit the bill, and the service was better. Bread just shouldn't be $22 , but the red pepper flavored bread was a good starter, I liked the goat cheese sprinkled in the bread along with the creamy dip. The Cauliflower sprouts was not what we expected, I guess I didn't know what a cauliflower sprout was!! It consists of more stems and leaves than a traditional cauliflower head. That being said we were pleasantly surprised, and this was a really flavorful and delicious dish. The chicken kebabs were super skimpy, but they were well seasoned with a spicy and tender and juicy. There are chicken kebabs on the kids menu too and I literally thought they made a mistake because the chicken kebabs just seem so small in size they just had to be for mini people . The roasted eggplant was a fantastic dish. It was the only dish that was a large and even if you're not a huge eggplant fan , the carrot hummus and tzatziki on the side were really addictive. Comes with pita that I personally thought was too doughy, but I was outvoted and the rest of my family liked it. As per the kids menu , my daughter enjoyed the cheesy pita, which is essentially a quesadilla. The sesame noodles are a hard pass- it's not that it was bad, it's just not a flavor that a child would like. My kids both thought it tasted "sour". My son is actually whispering "bad" as I'm dictating this review. I enjoyed my red wine , but it is definitely a light pour; probably 6 oz. My husband really didn't like his pale ale that was recommended which he felt tasted more like a hazy . Service was peculiar, maybe our server was having a bad day. He brought a steak when we didn't order steak, which is fine but his attitude about it was strange and made it feel like it was our fault. After that, he just seemed moody. My son mentioned that he really didn't like the noodles, and he literally didn't say anything and darted away. Anyway, it's too bad because there aren't enough chic restaurants in the area. we enjoyed the food, but the price tag wasn't worth the experience and we probably won't come back. Service should be phenomenal when the bill is nearly $200. read more

Ok - the hardest part about going to Valley Goat for the first time is figuring out where the heck it is. Lol. The restaurant is located in the Treehouse hotel - which is a very cool modern hotel. Once there- the restaurant is beautifully decorated. Very cool vibe. We came for a birthday and were immediately welcomed. Great start Drinks are very good and come quickly. Everything is family style so we ordered a ton of dishes to share. Everything was delicious. We had a great experience start to finish. We will definitely be back read more

Super cute farmhouse/ tropical rustic ambiance! Loved the colors and open airy interior. Overall food was good, but very small portions for the price - Potato crepe: very crispy, loved the fish sauce with this! Was great rolled with the lettuce, reminiscent of a bun xeo. Wished for more meat filling. - Goat empanada : nice flaky exterior, a little dry filling but the mint chutney saved it. Great flavor otherwise - Spicy handroll dip: standard spicy tuna filling, the chips were a good accompaniment - Pork belly and tomato: single strip of pork belly atop a bed of tomatoes. nice sauce! read more

Food is super tasty here. The setting is pretty much a fancy upscale restaurant. But the bar tables with their pin wheel design is not conducive to cleaning in between diners as the food sort of falls in between the cracks. Most flavorful and unique dish for me was the Disco fries. Although the fries didn't come out piping hot, the awesome flavors of the meat and limey creamy sauce lent a solid punch and was a good start to the meal. Good size to share. The skirt steak was pretty solid. Flavors were good and the meat was tender. The dish came w some green onions. But needed something a little more to balance it out. And the branzino was decent sized, mostly deboned and came with an Asian/ Thai style of sweet and sour that wasn't over the top. Pretty nicely prepared. Cocktails on average are about $20. All in, a solid meal but a bit on the pricey side. Maybe now becoming the norm in the Bay Area. Or maybe due to being part of a fancy hotel complex next to a Google office. Not sure. read more

This place is a little bit hard to find, as it is tucked away, but once you find and enter the restaurant, you'll be greeted by a warming, aesthetic ambiance. I made a reservation for a party of 4 on a Monday evening at 7:45 pm, as that was the earliest option they had after 6 PM when I booked. The restaurant didn't look too busy but could also be due to the rainy weather that night. My party decided to order a cocktail each, which are about $20. The cocktails did sound unique but overall low alcohol content. It did take some time for our drinks to come out after ordering. This place is one where you share the dishes family style. We decided to get 2 appetizers, 1 plate, and 1 bigger plate to split amongst us 4: - Goat Empanadas (appetizer): For $20, you get 2 empanadas along with a green sauce to pair with it. We each had 0.5 empanadas along, which tasted good with the sauce. - Disco Fries (appetizer): For $24, you get a hefty bowl of loaded fries. These might've been my favorite to be honest. Since they are quite packed, you do find them to be quite filling compared to if you had just regular fries. - Hamachi Poke (small plate): $28. Kind of underwhelming to be honest. Did not really leave much of an impression. - Wood-Fired Mary's Chicken (bigger plate): $52 of chicken and some veggies. The chicken is quite tender. Didn't quite like that we had to do quite some work to cut the chicken off the bone but at least the meat came off quite easily and was not dry. The veggies were seasoned nicely with the tzatziki dip. Overall, I love the ambiance and vibes here but the food is quite expensive for small portions. While the food was good, I didn't find it particularly mind blowing, especially when I factor in the price point. read more

I just remembered something that I had to add to how amazing the service was. Usually when I dine solo I like to watch the tvs but they were playing women's softball on every screen at the bar when I arrived. There was yet another bartender, who I never even spoke to, but I think he could sense my confusion at the women's softball and saw that I perked up when they started posting the NBA playoff statistics during a break. Shortly after the TV screen closest to me switched to the NBA playoffs! I want to thank this young psychic/empath for helping me out. Whether he did it on purpose or not, it was a high point in my experience at Valley Goat. read more

Valley Goat - Lots of unique touches in the decor - New American Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Great brunch spot! I loved the interior, the food, and the overall vibe. It's located next to hotel, so there's plenty to do around the area. There's a great outdoor space with benches to relax on and even some outdoor games. I'd give the food . Everything we ordered was so unique. The empanadas are a must try. I honestly can't even describe how good they were. I wish I had more room to try more items on the menu, but even the potato crepe was filling enough for two people. Of course, we still had to get dessert, so we tried the cinnamon bun and it was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to come back. Make sure to reserve ahead of time, especially on weekends. The parking lot is spacious, and there are also great spots for photos. read more

This is a very late review - dined in May 10, 2025. Service: Five-star service from the staff, but the food is closer to 4.5 for me. Having been to Girl & the Goat in LA a few times, I feel like the sticky pork shank was significantly more dry at this location. Flavors were good though for everything else. Ambience - it's super spacious and the location is kind of in the middle of nowhere, but the lighting and decor is so cute! Love the goat appearance in the napkins and indoor decoration. Parking - easy as they have a good amount of space dedicated to parking. Bathrooms were clean too. I want to come back to try other items but would skip the pork shank! read more

Overall it was a nice place to eat and had good ambiance, but I felt the food was generally a bit overpriced. It felt like the kind of place that you book for corporate events and not a place that you would go to for any social events outside of work. I had the chickpea fritters which was basically chaat with chickpea cubes and my friend had the skirt steak which was a whole $42 for 6 oz!! We had dessert as well (pandan flan) which was pretty good. read more

I've now been back and it's still great - and seems to still be pretty busy on random evenings. It's funny to see the crowd which is a mix of those who dress for a restaurant of its caliber and Sweatpants Billionaires. Everything was solid, but some things were a bit different than expected. Notes! - The Goat Fashioned and End of Valley are excellent cocktails. - The Olive Focaccia included cheese with a bit more funk than amateurs will be ready for. - The quinoa tuna was a winner, with the avocado being key. - To my surprise, the Disco Fries were so acid forward that they were hard to work through - though the sweet sauce helped. - The CandyCane Sundae was a surprise in a good way. It was a mishmash of items all of which were delicious, especially the part reminiscent of "magic shell" ice cream topping from decades ago. To summarize, it's worth a visit just for the cocktails and dessert. VG, if you're listening, stay open another hour on weekend nights and serve just these! read more

I definitely want to come back for food, so this review is solely for their bar. First thing, the bar has a great selection of tequilas, whiskeys, and gin. The place is decorated with beautiful plants and gives off a modern feel. It's cozy and an excellent place for a good vibe with friends or coworkers. The bartenders are attentive and there's a good amount waiting to make drinks and serve which is a plus. You don't have to fight your way for a drink; there will be someone who will help. Me and my friend enjoyed their Goat espresso martini which had vodka, kumquat and their house-made espresso beans. The kumquat was an excellent mix which made the drink pop. The martini is originally supposed to have vsop cognac but unfortunately, they didn't have any in stock which is a bummer. I want to come back again for bites and try a few more cocktails. I love that this is here and it's a huge win for the town because we needed something like this here in SV. read more

Had a wonderful experience here for Mother's Day! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome. Special shoutout to the host Rosa. she was so warm and attentive, and even went out of her way to make sure I got a complimentary mimosa before they wrapped up the Mother's Day service. Little touches like that really make a difference. Our waiter David was absolutely amazing! My son and I were first time visitors and he helped us navigate the menu by recommending the most popular dishes. the Yucatan pork belly, pancakes, goat empanadas, and tuna poke bowl salad. Each one was so flavorful in its own way, but honestly the pancakes caught us completely off guard. They melted in our mouths and the flavor was just beyond words. We didn't expect pancakes to be such a standout but here we are! Thank you David for the phenomenal suggestions and Rosa for making us feel so special. The whole visit felt personal and welcoming. We will definitely be coming back! read more

We had an amazing dinner here and loved the overall experience. The restaurant is airy with great design and feel in the newly renovated Treehouse Hotel. Loved everything we had. The spicy handroll dip with rice chips was fantastic! A real highlight. The avocado dip was just ok, nothing too special about that one for us. Everyone has brussel sprouts, but loved how theirs is a little different with extra flourishes and touches which really set it off as different and better. Bursting with flavor bits. The highlight was the sticky pork shank which is crispy, sticky, unctuous and incredible! Complemented with lettuce leaves and sauces to make flavor bombs for your mouth. Goat empanadas were just ok. Dessert similar to dinner was slightly innovative and different touches to what you'd expect. The passionfruit semi-freddo had so many little different items and flavors that made it really pop. Lovely dinner and evening. Great vibes and also great for larger groups too. Love it! read more

Aight, lemme tell ya -- this place was AWESOME! I walked in not really sure what to expect from a new spot in Sunnyvale, but Valley Goat absolutely nailed it with some truly unique and delicious flavors that I haven't stopped thinking about. From the moment we sat down, the vibe was cool and lively -- kind of elevated‑casual where you can hang with friends, grab cocktails, or make it a fun date night. The décor is plant‑filled and inviting, which sets the mood right, and honestly made the whole meal feel like more than just dinner. Now let's talk food. The dishes here are creative and bold -- it's not your typical fare. Think globally inspired plates that mix interesting flavors and ingredients in ways that work beautifully together. There were standouts and shareable bites that had layers of savory goodness, and even the lighter courses were memorable in a "I'm telling my friends about this later" kinda way. I especially liked how each dish had its own character, and the overall meal felt like a little culinary adventure rather than the usual "order, eat, leave" deal. Good variety, thoughtful presentation, and that nice balance of inventive without being pretentious. Would I go back? HELL YEAH, BABY! Valley Goat totally delivered on flavor and vibe -- great place for a fun dinner or a night out with friends. If you're in Sunnyvale and looking for something exciting and tasty, this one's worth a stop. KThxBai! LuvYou!! read more

Valley Goat has certainly made waves for the dining experience and ambience. Upon arrival, the hostesses did not show any welcoming hospitality, and gave more of a look that I don't belong there. Had a table reserved for 5pm but waited about 15 minutes for a table (now I saw another reviewer experienced this today), but as there were plenty of open tables and others that arrived after us were seated instantly-- that left me baffled and craving for a cocktail. And that's just what we did. The server was great and provided excellent recommendations. I got the End of the Valley and Kosho Jacuzzi. Both were recommend by the server-- kudos on well done cocktails. I liked both but preferred the Kosho more for the tart flavor profile and salt rimmed glass. My friend got the Blush Spritz, which was on the sweeter side and spot on. Now for the food. The good: huge portion size and everything was cooked just right. A lot of options featuring local and fresh ingredients, farm to table style. Ambience is perfect, decor has got to be top 10 in the South Bay. Clearly, this is an important restaurant for the food scene in the South Bay area. The bad: the flavor profile of some dishes was an attempt on Southeast Asian fusion. As a Southeast Asian, some of the flavor combinations were confusing to me. One example is the branzino. The presentation was like a Filipino bangus dish. The Branzino itself was charred and tender, cooked just perfectly. However, the toppings were a strange mix. There were pickled red onions, fried garlic crisps, and cilantro, but then there was a ton of creamy sauce (maybe something with mayo?) which I was not a fan of. It seemed like the same sauce on the disco fries. I equate it to ordering a vinaigrette salad and then someone throws on a slab of kewpie mayo. This is just my suggestion to put less creamy sauce with a branzino or maybe on the side. The pork shank meat itself was also cooked perfectly. The meat fell off the bone and it was amazingly tender, but the flavor profile of the glaze was the kind used for Thai chili wings. The glaze felt too sweet for a roasted pork shank. Would've nailed it for me if it was more balanced with balanced salty/sweet taste than favoring a sweeter glaze flavor profile. The pork shank was favored over the branzino for us. TL, DR: good vibes and ambience, excellent cocktails. Hostesses could try a bit harder. We all had a long day, but waiting that long when there's empty seats and seeing others seated instantly is the opposite of welcoming and makes you feel ignored. The whole experience changes with how you are treated as a good paying customer. Great attentive servers, who give good recs. Flavor profile is the attempt of Southeast Asian fusion, which I can be critical of, and I was not fond of this particular combination of toppings on the branzino. I still think it's an important gem in the Bay Area food scene, especially in the South Bay. I would come back (not soon) for the cocktails and small plates, but not the mains. read more

Super cute tapas style new american (but lots of asian influences) restaurant - spicy handroll dip: grace and i both rlly liked this one! The fish was p much just basic spicy tuna, but it was yummy and paired well with the crispy nori chips - goat empanadas: the goat meat was juicy and the cilantro sauce was good, but we thought the pastry could've been flakier - woodfire cauliflower: grace did not like this but i did haha. I thought the flavors layered well - it was smokey, tangy from the sauce, and slightly minty. The shio kombu crunch added a nice texture - chickpea fritters: rlly yummy and i usually don't even like chickpeas. The fritters were smashed chickpeas and paired well with the goat yogurt. Loved the crunch from the sev and chickpeas too - cocktail: got this for free! I think it's their hot spring spritz. i liked that it was light and not too sweet read more

We were looking forward to our group dinner at Valley Goat & finally we were able to reserve a dinner table. The staff is super friendly and sweet. The decor is gorgeous. We ordered a variety of drinks, and they were good. For dinner, we ordered a variety of apps and main dishes, such as veggie & chicken empanada, Plantain chips with dip, chickpea fritters, Chicken skewers, Brussels sprouts, Branzino, and wood-fired eggplant. The plantain chips and empanadas were super delicious. Unfortunately, the rest of the dishes weren't good at all and had absolutely no flavor :( We were disappointed with it. Especially when you add an extra charge for Ice cubes in an old-fashioned, there is a certain standard that comes with it!!! Looks like they had an off night! I want to give them another try in the future. *Ambiance: 10/10 *Service: 9/10 *Food: 4/10 *Music: 9/10 *Seating: Bar, Patio, and indoor *Parking: Plenty *Price: $100+ per person read more

Lunch birthday date with hubs. His first time there and he enjoyed it. Friendly attentive service. We ordered: Veggie empanadas $17: 3/5 it was better the first time I had it. This time the puff pastry tasted like the frozen ones I buy from the supermarket. Inside filling tasted like the Persian grape leaf wraps. Fish tostada $32: 5/5 super flavorful, all the spice! I liked the corn tostada too. Excellent! Avocado dip $17: 3/5 I thought this was going to be some sort of avocado melted queso dip. Nope it's just a creamy avocado dip with thinly sliced fried plantains. Beef skewer chicory salad$39: 5/5 beef was tender and good. Salad was very tasty too.

I heard good things about this place so I made a resy for 4 on a Monday night. It's a beautiful spot and there are directory for you to find it. Surprisingly it was quite busy for a Monday. We were informed that the dishes are family style aka sharable. We order quite a bit. All dishes lean towards more a sweeter side but it's a moderately sweet and savory. I'm not a sweet food person but I have to say everything was delicious. My favorite dish was the chicken skewers, shrimp salad and the skirt steak. The wine list a can be a bit better in my opinion. The Cab Franc I had was okay. A bit bland. I would love to see more options of Napa Valley. Service was quick and efficient. He was very nice and helpful. Overall, good food good vibes. I will be back for cocktails since people been talking about them. It's a busy spot so reserve ahead :)) read more

I get the hype-a James Beard Award-winning chef, Northern California focused ingredients and menu, all in a bright dining space filled with plants and natural elements, make it a spot that will impress friends and clients/coworkers. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation, and waited around 10 minutes to be seated. A few of our people were running late, but that gave us time to peruse the menus and order drinks. A few notes on the food and beverage before I dive into individual items: The drinks are fairly mild; which worked out well for lunch hour, but I personally wouldn't pay $20 for a drink that didn't even give me a little buzz. All of the food is served "family style" and they recommend sharing-the plates serve 2-3 at most in my opinion, so we doubled up on most appetizers to make sure our whole group got to try some of each. We probably should have ordered three of some (most). We ordered the following appetizers and I split two entrees with another person: *PITA + DIPS (carrot-tahini dip, tzatziki): the carrot-tahini dip was tasty and the pita was warm and topped with garlic which was a pleasant addition. But if this is supposed to be shareable, it would be nice if it came with more than one pita. *AVOCADO DIP (chile lime crunch, queso fresco, plantain chips): great flavor, and I enjoyed the plantain chips as a unique alternative to chips. *'SPICY HANDROLL' DIP (tuna, hamachi, chili sesame, nori chips): This was my favorite appetizer; the flavor combination was delicious and the spice level was perfect (medium hot). *GOAT EMPANADAS (limey huacatay): Don't be intimidated by the goat meat! It was super flavorful and not gamey. The empanadas were STUFFED and I was pleasantly surprised by these. The dipping sauce was a nice complement! *VEGGIE EMPANADAS (limey huacatay): I had a small bite of these, and they were good, but I preferred the goat empanadas since they were more flavorful. *SAUTÉED GREEN BEANS (fish sauce vinaigrette, cashews): WOW-these were absolutely delicious! This was a hearty portion; the sauce was mouthwatering, and the green beans were cooked perfectly (crunchy but cooked, not mushy). This is a MUST order! *THREE-SAUCE CHICKEN (chili lime crunch, soy glaze, hoisin mayo, lettuce cup): The flavor was really good, but I wish I had ordered more sauce since the chicken was a little on the dry side, and there were a lot of crispy noodles. This portion is perfect to share for 2-3. *PORK BELLY NOODLES (wood-fired pineapple, pickled veggies, chili crunch): several folks were surprised that this was a cold noodle dish and weren't fans because of that. I personally really liked the pork belly, and the noodles had a nice spice level that was balanced by the charred pineapple. I was glad I got the heads up that they were cold noodles so I wasn't disappointed. I think it's worth ordering if you like a cold noodle dish! Another good one to share between 2-3 people. *HOT SPRING SPRITZ (cucumber yuzu kosho, lime, pineapple, sparkling wine): Very refreshing, and was a nice beverage to balance the flavors of the food. The only nit I have is with the service-several people (including me) didn't get their drinks until most of the food was out, and we had to ask about them; there were also a few dishes that didn't arrive until we were almost finished with the entrees (one being a shrimp salad, which I wouldn't think should take so long). I do believe the slower service was due to our group being larger, but based on reviews, it could also be dependent on time of day. Overall, I enjoyed all of the dishes and think this is a good spot to hit if you're looking for an eclectic and elevated menu; however, it's a bit on the pricey side for the portions. read more
