And the wine was also tasty. Next time I'll try a cocktail! The service was great. We started with the sourdough (which came out hot from the oven), butter, and grilled winter pesto. The pesto was smoky and hearty. The butter also had a wonderful flavor. We also had lamb pasta with olives and anchovies, pork collar, and smoked carrots with feta and dill. Amazing flavors with those dishes as well. Then we finishes with the blood orange tartlet and sourdough sundae. The mix of flavors in the sourdough sundae was incredible. One of my favorite desserts that I've had in a long time! I already look forward to returning. Their menu changes regularly, so maybe there will be some new items to try next time.

Great dinner spot with a seasonal menu! We tried the swordfish, pork collar, and lamb pasta. All of…read morethe dishes burst with flavor. I would recommend the swordfish, which was fresh and tender, and the pork collar, which was well executed and came with rich creamed kale. The lamb pasta was too inventive and not as cohesive, as it had fennel seeds and anchovies.

The menu is seasonal but the crab toast, gem salad, lobster pasta, salmon, pickles and cucumber salad were all legit. The staff was very nice and attentive and it had kind of homey vibe. I'll go again on my next visit.

What a cozy spot! Love the ambiance in here, fresh food served with a twist of west coast flair!read more

I am a sucker for a good cocktail bar. The fact they offer bao buns was enough for us to stop in…read more The baos come in mushroom or duck, in a flight of 3. We ordered the duck. All you could taste was the hoisin. So sweet it buried the duck and the pickled vegetables. Why was it garnished with random lettuce? Who knows? The heavy-handed hoisin was bad, but the buns' lack of fluffiness was downright depressing. The cocktails were a blast. The one mocktail was a hit. The tiki-themed Portal, served in a poisoned-apple mug, was fun. The espresso martini was the highlight of the night. I could have used 40oz of it. Recommend the drinks. Skip the bao.

We ordered the mussels, which came with shrimp, in a tomato based broth. Seafood was fresh and tasty. We also ordered a side or grilled veggies, which were similarly tasty. Next time we would love to try the cocktails. Only gripe is sound travels in this restaurant and the table next to us was so loud. Otherwise, a lovely evening.

The bartender here is in her zone, she definitely knows what shes doing&runs her space like a boss!!!! We sat at the bar for a few drinks before being seated. The young lady (hostess) who we encountered for seating was the only who rubbed me the wrong way..no smiles, all business.."do u have a reservation " NO, & she just wasnt on her game I guess(Olivia?) But in comes Dan, our server, what a gem! Our food was great, my friend really enjoys his short ribs cavatelli, my husband ordered the half jerk chicken & didnt even leave a crumb! I had the maple glazed Salmon, and it delivered mouth watering goodness with just enough sweetness from the maple but not overpowering. Way to go guys, now I know to make this a staple in my after work rounds.

I have mixed reviews about this place! First I want to say every time I come the staff is super…read morefriendly! It's a great place for a date or to bring a big group. They have a lot of seating and a good menu price range. My favorite thing about the menu is that they have duck fat fries! If you never had your French fries fried in duck fat then you are missing out!!! Now I wish I could give them 3.5 stars. I highly raved about this place but the last time I came it was such a disappointment. Our waitress though very friendly was not very attentive. We couldn't find her when we needed things and when we asked for things she didn't bring them. Now I'm sure she was busy and we never complained but that mixed with the fact that our food was just alright made me drop it a few stars. Also the cleanliness of the restaurant wasn't the best, including the glassware. Now to be fair every other time I have come the food was fantastic. I typically always get the general tso fried chicken sandwich and I love it. So maybe it was an off day we all have those. I will go back again and see if they redeem themselves! Also I just want to make mention the sandwiches do not come with duck fat fries you have to specifically ask for them to be the duck fat ones.

Once there the vibe feels rustic, historic, little speakeasy vibes. Service was fantastic. Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable about all the different wines available. The charcuterie grazing board was every and any thing you could possibly want, at least we thought so. Sooooo good!! The dippy duet of the tapenade and pistachio cream dip thing (sorry forgot the name) delicious. We ordered an entree to share and everyone raved about the lamb chops. Safe to say we'll be back. There is a parking lot across the street. Hard to see any signs on where you have to pay but it's not free.

The service was absolutely phenomenal--warm, attentive, and impeccable from start to finish. The food was truly to die for, with every bite beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious.

Such a wonderful little restaurant that feels like a hidden secret you're lucky to discover. I highly recommend!!!!

They had a good amount of seating (including both in the coffee area as well as surrounding the books). The service was friendly and they had a really good variety of books to choose from. I'd come here all the time if I lived close by.

I have so many good things to say, where do I even start?!…read more First of all, this book and bar spot is absolutely beautiful. It's located on such a charming street, and stepping inside felt like walking into an elevated Barnes & Noble straight out of a Harry Potter movie. There are endless shelves of books across every genre, cozy seating throughout, and the perfect atmosphere to spend hours browsing or reading. The coffee was just as wonderful as the space. I wasn't sure what to order, so the barista recommended a drink and was incredibly accommodating with my many requests. I can't have too much milk or syrup, so I basically gave them a complicated custom order, and they made it exactly to my liking without hesitation. I also ended up buying one of the chocolate bars they had at the counter and turns out it was $20!!!! As a tourist, I had no idea it was a well known local chocolate brand with a factory nearby, so that was a fun surprise. This is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down. I'd love to come back, grab a coffee, spend the entire afternoon reading, and just soak in the comforting smell of books and fresh coffee. Such a cozy, magical spot that's well worth visiting!
