Tout était superbe! Les huîtres chaque fois que nous venons, le plat d'asperges délicieux, la pieuvre, le risotto aux fruits de mer! Divin..Cocktails tropicaux pour l'été & très bon verre de bulles! Le service était également très attentionné. Atmosphère relaxe, sans prétention, très agréable!
Staff was super friendly & food was on point.
I came there before but did not leave with good impressed of the service, came back this time & the experience is totally different. Cocktails are amazing too.
Food is always delicious, cocktails are refreshing & fun. Service is super friendly! A favourite place for a date night or dinner with friends. The gazpacho is amazing & the pecan pie a must!
The waitress was very insightful & kind. We came to eat before the rush & we were hesitating between 2 cocktails. She gave us 2 small samples so we could choose which one to order. We ordered oysters, crudo, lamb meatballs, duck confit & jjamppong paella... & wow. We were in awe after each dish. Especially the paella.. the harmony of spicy & buttery goodness with seafood.. 20/10
Finally a restaurant with a decent music volume level! It was very easy to speak even if there was a small background music noise. I loved it! On the food scale, it was AMAZING for everything: - the dumpling was just drooling & tasteful 🤤 - the pumpkin gnocchi were delicious - the lamb meatballs were simply fantastic Only disappointment were the squid skewer, a bit rubbery. The flavors were amazing, thought! & the cocktail was very good & flavorful: a nice spicy mandarin with tequila cocktail. I highly recommend this place, a nice tapas style restaurant perfect for connecting with your friends 😀 & if you ask nicely, it can be possible to order some plates for takeout. It's not the primary type of service, but they can accommodate if you ask politely.
La nourriture était correcte, sans plus. Les dumplings & la tartine de crevettes n'avaient que très peu de goût (on ne goûtait que la friture). Le poulet frit & l'entrée de choux-fleurs étaient bons mais pas épatants. Les portions étaient idéales pour partager, mais nous n'avons pas trouvé que la qualité de la nourriture valait le prix. Après 4 assiettes, c'était assez & nous avons décidé de ne pas commander plus, étant plutôt déçus de nos plats. Le cocktail (Saigon Mule) était très bon par contre!
The new cocktails are delicious, especially Spicy Mandarin. We tried 10 dishes, all excellent! Favourites were the burrata, the dumplings, the galbi, the menbosha. We will be back!
