Exciting and eccentric little eatery! Full of flavor and good vibes. The menu is robust and any item is sure to satiate the palate. We started with the chicken wontons, which were savory and delicious. Also had the lamb meatballs, which were tender and delectable, accompanied by black lentils and mashed sweet potatoes. All around awesome experience!

Staff was very friendly. We were seated in the bar area (not by request) and it got pretty crowded in there and the bartender was the main waiter for every table as well as maintaining the bar! So not as responsive, but understandable.

We were there the second time, 4 people ordered a lot of food, eat everything on our plates. Amazingly delusions dishes no matter what you order. This time we got rhubarb cake, it’s seasonable only, that’s the most yamy dessert ever!

Great experience! Went for a friend’s birthday dinner and had a great time, the radio room is so fun! Good good and service too. I would highly recommend the lobster “adult” Mac and cheese

Went there today for lunch with my wife and it was a delight! When we walk into a restaurant and see a member of the kitchen staff picking fresh greens from the garden, its a good start! The experience begins with sourdough bread and a mung bean flat bread that was exploding with flavor. My wife ordered the lobster soup to start and I the squash blossoms. They both were delicious and contrary to a previous review, it had plenty of lobster.

We had our Christmas Eve lunch here (party of 6). Got seated at a corner round table, and were very comfortable. Wait staff was friendly, accommodating, and informative. Food was creative and tasty. The grilled octopus appetizer ($21) is big enough to be an entrée and it was delicious (that’s what I had). I also had the warm spinach salad with tofu, grapes and pineapple and it was very good. My wife’s scallops with butternut squash was excellent. Would definitely go back.
