| - This was epicurean brilliance at its best. To begin with, Korean French fusion in Little Italy? That alone was enough of an intrigue to get us there. And no regrets. Holy cow, WHAT a night of amazing tastes. We love good food, and are most impressed by creativity, a sense of fun while we eat, and feeling like the restaurant and everyone in it is passionate about its food, and this was it. You pretty much need a reservation. We were probably the oldest people there, in our early 50s, and LOVED that most of the place was populated with 30-40 somethings, all of whom seemed as equally interested in food as we were. This place has a great, informal vibe. It's all about the food, not about being seen. There is a tasting menu for $65 which allows you to taste everything on the menu, and this is definitely your best choice. The wine list is well thought out, and reasonable. The cocktails are all priced at $13 and WOW what choices. SO original. I had their version of an Old Fashioned, and it was spectacular. At the end I was curious and fished out the candied mandarin from the glass. The three of us shared it and OMG, it was such a treat. The food was incredible. Each dish was a twist on a familiar, sort of. Our favourite had to be their take on beef bourguignon, which included soy sauce :) The menu is small, and ever-changing, with equal emphasis on meat and seafood. Not one dish even remotely disappointed. The staff here are all working so hard to give the diners a perfect experience. We loved every minute of our evening.
