| - I don't know who is eating here for $31-60, but the food is well and truly phenomenal and worth every penny. The service is great, the cocktails are delicious, and the food - whoa. The bream ceviche was mindblasting, and the octopus was out of this world awesome. Really, really, really good. I only went the one time so I'm not telling you you need to get those things, but you certainly won't be disappointed if you do.
Ambiance was okay - a predilection to play music a tad too loud like many restos catering to the young professional sensibility, which I don't get, but it seems the trendy thing to do. Attracts annoying overpaid hipster patrons as well - the table next to us was a clamorous sea of forgettable vapid single women in their 30s that would repeatedly rupture into a crescendo of squeals: "this song is about me!" or "I know the chef, ladies I know the chef - WHY ISN'T ANYBODY LISTENING TO ME?" or "Tamara is a super betch" or new girl sits down at table, prompting sounds that could etch glass, despite it being said Tamara. Etcetera. If it wasn't for our neighbours, the entire experience would have been ethereally sublime.
We had the table closest to the door, it was winter, and it was crazy cold sitting there. Don't sit there. Still, despite being a complainer and loving all things complainy: 5 stars, hands down one of the more memorable culinary experiences I've had in the city. Don't miss it, and book way in advance.
