Great spot for a date or for celebrating something special. Some creative bites and some traditional bites make this a very approachable and fun experience for newbies and pros alike. We left full and satisfied and we will definitely be back.

2nd Time at U, and will be back again. A true hidden gem (not so hidden anymore) in the neighborhood. Staff is great, the vibe is casual and friendly but the food is up there with michelin starred restaurants. Best bang for your buck out there!

This was my first time at this restaurant with my wife, and I'm sure it will be our last. The food was amazing—I can't say enough good things about it. However, the service was unacceptable. The host, the only staff present that night, noted every customer's details, including the occasion of their visit and any dietary restrictions. While this shows they are trying to be careful, it didn't translate into a pleasant experience for us. The dinner went smoothly, and we had no issues throughout the night. At the end, I noticed the host reviewing her notebook line by line and relaying information about desserts to the chef. There were three special occasions that night that includes us: a birthday celebration and an anniversary celebration. My wife and I were there to celebrate her birthday, which I mentioned in the reservation and reinforced in person with the host. Despite this, during her announcements, the host completely overlooked our celebration. She only acknowledged us at the end privately, saying she had "totally forgotten about" us. This was an unforgettable experience, and my wife has decided that we won't return and move on...
