Highly recommend making reservations if youre going on a weekend.
We came here for the $2 happy hour oysters (4-6pm). They were super fresh and the flavors of the accompaniments went really well. I had Shes the one cocktail which was so bright and balanced. Then we all ordered martinis which were excellent and comes with side of dirty juice so people can customize their level of brine. Very fun spot. Great interior/aesthetic. Service is so friendly and attentative. I will definitely come back for more oysters, cocktails and to try more food
quality local ingredients, meticulous preparation, disappointing balance in dishes.
seductively smoky, delicious fatty lamb was paired with really crispy crunchy yet soft potatoes and some clearly organic high quality seasonally harvested grilled spring onions. and that was it.
i was surprised and sad to find that my $40 entree had absolutely no acid apart from the slightly sheepishly out of place bottle of tabasco to balance the overwhelming richness of the flavors.
the gnocchi had a similar story where all the ingredients and preparations were top class but way too rich and unbalanced to finish satisfyingly.
the pannisa was actually cool but ultimately too dry. the seasonal bee pollen and local honey barely got noticed because of how much liquid i had to drink to be able to swallow the bite.
drinks were top notch, the salad that we were recommended was excellent and there was absolutely plenty more to like, but it was like someone put on a bunch of extremely high quality clothes but without any forethought of how the end outfit would look like. and almost as if he knew, the waiter never once even checked or asked how we liked the food or drink.
ultimately, it is undeniable that there is talent working the kitchen here and the owner cares about sourcing and using quality ingredients. the final detail to focus on would be making sure the elements come together to make all the effort more satisfyingly acknowledgeable.
a hidden gem in Southeast, set a block off of busy Belmont Street. The food was incredible, every dish, cocktails superb (bartender, who also acted as our server as we sat at the bar, was so friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive..not to mention entertaining), and a fun and casual atmosphere suited for any dining experience. Still dreaming of they lobster, corn, and mushroom risotto 🤩🤯
Solid spot and i would definitely go back. Especially for the oyster happy hour! Great cocktails and a nice wine list. Cute elevated neighborhood spot. if it leveled up a knotch on the atmosphere and service I'd give it a five.
