| - So...I'm a little disappointed. I was really hoping this would be a staple hangout spot for the summer.
Here's the good:
- They renovated the patio very nicely. You don't quite feel like you're on a bubbling roof-top patio in Manhattan, but with the right crowd that could change quickly.
- The staff are very well trained in their craft, very kind, warm and welcoming. Whatever your request, it will be met with professionalism and kindness.
Here's the ugly:
- The menu is very heavily based on miso and soy. If you like these fermented delights, you probably won't have a hard time finding something on their menu. My body, on the other hand, doesn't approve so the menu was a little lackluster. The burger was very heavily seasoned with lots of soy sauce, etc. and I didn't get to actually taste the meat. The tempura fish was what you'd expect, but at 3x the price. The cocktails are fine but much too sweet for my palette.
- They advertise being open on the weekends from 11am, but they didn't open their doors until around 11:30. For someone with lots of time on their hands, that doesn't seem like a big deal. For someone working with a nap schedule, it's an issue that almost made us turn around and find another place instead.
Will I go back? Maybe for a drink and to enjoy the atmosphere, but not for a meal.
