We had driven by this place several times and assumed it was just a neighborhood bar. We were in the area and checked reviews and decided to give it a try. Inside the place is small but has a very nice modern feel. Open kitchen let's you see what's going on. Cocktails were well crafted. We started with Hamachi which was excellent. Well flavored dish. The Chinatown clams were very nice. They are topped with sea urchin and have a very fresh flavor. A bit pricey but good. Grilled octopus was outstanding. Tender and smoky. Beef cheek and bone marrow dumplings were incredible. Great rich flavor. Well priced given wheat you get. We didn't have the roast chicken special but it looked very nice. Desert was a roasted pear in a carmelized fruit sauce with ice cream. Again very good. Service was excellent. The manager checked on us several times and was happy to re explain dishes. Waiter was informative and efficient. Overall an excellent experience.
