| - I wish there were half stars b/c this place is a 3.5. J and I came here for my birthday last night. We live right around the area and I didn't feel like going far to celebrate. I called a few days a head and made a reservation, which was seamless. The staff on the phone was really nice and made a note of my nut allergy and that it was my birthday. We got there at 7, and were greeted by a lovely Black woman who was polite and really friendly. We were seated quickly which was nice. The atmosphere is really nice. J and I really liked the designs, colors, industrial look, and look of the bar. We actually spent time admiring the table as this is something we would have in our own home. They definitely paid attention to details which was great. Their name on the pens to sign checks, the holder for the napkins and utensils, a lot of little things made the restaurant nice. Our server was Dan with the Cool glasses, who was really great. Very knowledgeable and funny, very warm personality. I was able to try a wine to see if I liked it which was nice. Ultimately I settled on a glass of Riesling and J had a coke. I ordered the beet starter with smoked yogurt, frisée, and yuzu. This was banging. The flavors melded so well together and the yogurt was delicious. For our entrees J ordered the beef with polenta, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, and bearnaise sauce. J thought his food was good, but "not $35 good". I had the tuna (well done), which came with heirloom rice, miso, lemongrass, and XO. My tuna was done perfectly! The meal was tasty overall. For dessert, J had the chocolate cake with coffee and buttermilk (minus the chestnut butter), and I had the creme brûlée with lychee bubble tea, and honey. J's chocolate cake was delicious, and I added some to my creme brûlée. The honey was described to me as a foam on top, but it was more like bubbles. I guess I was expecting something like the consistency shaving cream foam that tasted like honey, not slightly sweet bubbles. Ultimately I scooped it off b/c I felt it added nothing to the actual dish other than making it look interesting. Plus there was too much "foam". There were a few things we were not fond of: while we were there, they played this new age trance like music which was loud and pretty annoying; every time someone entered or exited the building there was a chill that settled in the small dining room; and while the wait staff were kind and knowledgeable, J and I felt that our drinks and food took a while to be brought to us. Longer than it should have for such a small space with about 6 wait staff working. Our bill came to around $120 which J was happy with. Overall, it was a nice dinner and the food was pretty tasty.
