Reviews
We ordered three appetizers and five entrees. The appetizers were amazing. The chèvre pecan and smoothed goat cheese in autumn salad stood out. Yakiton and Kan Sui Noodles are Japanese fusion style, which flavors were really balanced out. The pork belly did not have as much fat as a pork belly normally does, but it was cooked to the just right crispy level.
The entrees were not as impressive as the appetizers but still good. Would recommend the chicken katsu and the black ink bucatini. The flour coating on the katsu was surprisingly thin and crispy more than expected. Wagyu beef, on the other side, was a bit disappointed. We can see that the chef was trying to be creative, but the taste did not catch up with the presentation of the food.
Our server was extremely knowledgeable about all the ingredients when we asked for details. The pace of food coming to the table was comfortable.
For appetizers, I “highly” recommend the autumn salad, and for the main dish, the squid ink bucatini is a must-order. Everything was perfectly balanced, and that bucatini really hit the spot (the seafood, spice, flavor were perfect)
As for the noodle dish, I’m Korean, so I didn’t have strong opinions overall, but I do think adding a bit more kimchi and sesame oil would bring out even more flavor. It was just okay for us. The wagyu steak was also good but nothing special. Sorbet with local honey, was surprisngly good!
To top it off, Alden, the owner, came out to greet us at the end, which made the experience feel even more special.
Made a reservation but still had to wait 15 minutes for a seat, albeit this was on a Sunday.
The menu impressively offers a variety of well executed cuisines, making this spot highly recommendable.
Service was attentive and caring. Parking can be a small challenge in the busy lot but there is a valet right outside the door.
Review: We came here with my parents. We were greeted by a very nice hostess and seated in the middle right by the kitchen. Our server was very down to earth. He explained all the dishes and was quite knowledgeable and flexible when we switched things up. The cocktails were very good. I was pleased to hear all the non-alcoholic options. The na Rose was excellent.
We were served with warm bread and yummy butter. We wanted more butter but didnt want to fill up.
The autumn salad was amazing. Perfectly dressed and the apples were cut so delicately, very impressed with the presentation.
We were recommended the appetizer trio plate and that was excellent. Crab cakes were perfect. Shrimp were great with the sauces. But the star for us was the oysters. They were creamy but had a bright ocean taste. I will definitely ask for the recipe.
The pork belly was super tender and flavorful. We all fought for the last of it. Just amazing. Came with dressed cucumbers and some yummy sauces. Recommend!
Dad got the snapper. He liked it. I failed to try it.
Mom and wife got the wagyu sirloin. I can confidently say the steak was PERFECTION. The sauce, presentation, cook, everything was flawless for both of their plates.
I got the squid ink pasta. It was unique and had intense flavor. I think the only thing that put me off was the sardine, but thats only because im not a big fan of that fishy profile. I still quite enjoyed the dish and it actually had some decent spice. It was even better the next day. Tons of lump crab in it. I was mesmerized by it the next day.
Deserts were good.
We loved watching the chef Jared Hucks himself cook our dishes. His passion shines through every dish. He came and asked about our experience afterwards. I wish I had a fraction of his talent.
We are coming back again for date night Thursday for the 3 course meal. One of the first restaurants we’ve been smitten by since moving here from out of state.
In terms of atmosphere I prefer more private dining like sectioned booths, this is more open seating and the lighting is a bit brighter than id like for a more romantic vibe. Overall an amazing experience and the pricing was very reasonable. Especially for the quality and level of care overall.
Bravo!
