Really delicious food prepared in front of you. The menu may seem simple but the quality (and size) of the dishes is amazing. Pleasantly intimate setting with attentive but not overpowering service. The live stream / commentary can be distracting in such a small space but it's part of the package so no complaints. Would definitely return.
