| - I came here for an alternative to thanksgiving. For a weekend, it was pretty quiet but at the same time, it was a very cozy place.
The atmosphere has the feel of a restaurant but the playfulness of a bar. It makes for a good relaxing environment and I'm sure that if I was here during a game, it would be a little more livened up. Either way, I was very comfy here.
Considering that this is a tapas bar, don't think that the even though the portions look small, you need to order a lot. The portions are very filling. If you like a dish, you may not be able to grab sections cause you've tried a bunch of others indefinitely. I thought a lot of these dishes weren't going to fill me up but I was wrong. Pace yourself
Something to help you pace is that they serve you tea. It warmed me up and it was good to have. Drinking water, you'll fill yourself up with it because the servers are really good at refilling it. Tea will relax you plus, their green tea is amazing so why not?
Try:
Yam fries - sweet potatoes fries with a house dressing kick. They're good to start off with it you're still unsure on what to try. The dressing has a little spicy kick to it but paired with that tea, it doesn't overpower your palette.
Lobster fantasy - I have nothing but good things to say for this. Deep fried lobster tail with cucumber and avocado topped with lobster salad. Pardon the pun but this was a fantasy for my mouth. I wanted seconds but I'm pretty sure I was getting full already. You cannot come here and not try this.
Apple salmon roll - salmon sashimi with apple mayo dressing. The problem with this was that it came right after the lobster fantasy. It was a good dish but it couldn't live up to the hype my taste buds were having already. It had a sweet taste to it and the apple mayo emphasized it. If you are going to order this, order it before the lobster fantasy so you can appreciate it more. I wish I had done that.
Buttered scallops and shrimps - baked scallop and shrimp in garlic butter. As a shellfish fan, I gobbled this down like I've never eaten food before. The butter is not overwhelming on the plate so you can taste and enjoy the scallops and the shrimps. It was a softer touch to the food but that was because they weren't grilled and it works! Huge contrast with the sushi because of the deep fried portion. Loved it!
The dishes are rather creative which adds to the feel of the place.
I really enjoyed being here. It was a quaint little location and it hid in the bustle of the street but it's a gem. A diamond in the rough. I felt pretty at home here.
I would definitely want to come back, bring friends, drink some sake, watch a game. I think the next on my list would be to try the oysters and the java burgers.
