First time dining here. Convenient joint next to Ardmore music hall before our concert. Diverse menu. Grilled ricotta with grapes, prosciutto and shishito peppers stood out. Delicious and creative combo. Spicy tuna roll was great as well but it's more "deconstructed" roll. My cocktail 75th was quite good. We also loved hot and soft, delicious pretzeled Parker house rolls with truffle butter. The entrees were somewhat underwhelming pork Milanese was good but nothing really to write home about and blackened fish with coconut mango rice with pistachio was a let down . Rice unevenly cooked, fish a bit over cooked and overall it just didn't come together well as ingredients sound. Ricotta donuts for desert served with Nutella and jam to dip. Service was mediocre. The ambience a bit of speakeasy vibe. We sat in the room pass the bar and it wasn't inviting. They have a small patio outside that looked nice. Overall, it was a an enjoyable dinner with some creative dishes but they do have a room for an improvement.

Celebrated my birthday here with a few girlfriends. Food and drinks were very good! They didn’t push us out despite chatting away for nearly three hours. Will definitely return!

Went here for the first time with a few friends in October and loved it! The vibe and ambiance of the place is really cool - we sat in there indoor/outdoor section that gave me garden vibes which I loved. They also apparently have an upstairs and downstairs area, but didn't get to see that (hopefully next visit). Our server and all the staff were great. Very friendly with every interaction, our waiter was helpful on menu options and attentive throughout the entire dining experience. The food and drinks were on point! I only had one drink but it was well made, not too strong and strong enough to feel the alcohol a little later. We got Mahi Tacos as out app and they were pretty good - we didn't get a bunch of stuff just to make sure we could eat our entree. I'd never had Cobia before but that's what I got as my entree, the Blackened Cobia Filet with coconut rice, mango, pineapple salsa and pistachio... delicious! I generally like fish/seafood so thought I would be good with it, but the fish was cooked perfectly and was accented well with the sides. And the portion size was perfect. My friends also really enjoyed their entree options: Roasted Honeynut Squash Steak, Grilled Lamb Chops, and Salmon. Overall, such a great vibe, good food & drinks. Would love to go back to try more of the dishes (I was eyeing the Lamb Chops and saw the Catfish & Fried Chicken dishes on the menu too), and definitely would tell anyone to check them out.

We ordered three Shareable items on the menu: Pork Ribs, Surf & Turf Bao Buns and Street Corn. The ribs were tender and flavorful. There were two buns, one containing pork belly and the other shrimp. Very tasty (forgot to take a picture). And is street corn ever not delicious? The staff were very friendly and there was no delay in our service. We also had the dessert pictured. Can't remember the name, but it was so-so. A little dry. But we will definitely return and recommend this restaurant to others.
