| - First impression - incredible! The flavor profiles of the tacos (two per order), the tableside-made guacamole, the cocktails...it all added up for a memorable night even if we could barely see (or hear!) each other in the dimly lit balcony, bumpin' with bass a la house DJ. Reality set in on the the long overdue second visit. Yes, the taco options still juxtapose diverse flavors, but the wow factor just wasn't there. After almost a year, their signature taco had become legend, but on this go around it fell short - the preserved lemon and mizuna greens were too dominant. Their was also a Lenten menu available this visit, and you would think $24 halibut tacos would be blissful, but shame on you täk? - bland, Bland, BLAND! Utter disappointment. The winner of the evening was the special shrimp tacos - hell yes to crispy, spicy and Asian flavors! Service at our bar area table was adequate and the food was timely. Decor is sharp + chic, but the lighting could still use a bump up on the dimmers. Nonetheless...seek out täk?, revel in the flourishing 4-1-2 food scene and mingle with the young 'n hip at midnight because that's probably the only time you can get a reservation!
