    So sad this place is closing. We loved the Korean food and the wine! Excited to see what they reopen with and hoping it'll be just as good :)

    Service was good at first but dropped off as we sat in front of empty plates for 20+ minutes waiting for the main. The fixed valentines menu started strong but the weakest dish was the short rib entree - for ‘24 hour braise’ it was still tough and the turnips undercooked, and another starch of crispy potatoes with no sauce or anything to liven them up. Just kind of boring food.

    Amazing pre-fix valentines menu with wine pairing. Food was absolutely perfect and they were able to accommodate a shellfish allergy with delicious substitutions. Excellent service too! Love this place!

    Interesting & creative menu to read but the outcome & flavors didn’t match the ambition, particularly given the prices & relatively small portion sizes. Service also wasn’t really up to par given the price - staff seemed overworked and, while very nice, they weren’t very attentive as a result.

    Great food great service. The grilled oysters were delicious. The scallion and shiitake pancakes were really good. The blue crab on crispy rice was nice light. The half bird fried chicken was really good along with the sauce and then the steak frites very well made and cooked nicely and the pepper sauce was delicious The staff was very friendly and accommodating will definitely be coming back

    The service was excellent and our meals (mostly raw or cool dishes like oysters, tartare, and sliced tuna) came out incredibly fast. Can’t wait to return!
