This was the latest stop for my dinner group. We were drawn to the place by the reviews on Yelp as well as the pictures. But unfortunately, things didn't turn out so well for our group.
I got there early and sat at the bar for a drink before the rest of the group. I enjoyed their mostly local beer tap selection and enjoyed talking with the bartender on beer.
When the group was seated that's when things took a turn downhill. There was one server for the entire restaurant and it was quite busy. He tried to keep up but the service just suffered.
We started with appetizers. I ordered the chicken lettuce wraps. While they were good, I felt there was something missing like a sauce?
For an entree I ordered Grandma's Bibimbap which I heard was good here and I had never had Korean food (other than kimchi) before. While it came out presented well, my egg was over fried and not as pretty and the ones in the pictures on Yelp. The flavors were good but the chili paste which I thought was going to add some heat to the dish was quite disappointing. I didn't have the guts to ask for a bottle of siraccha. The kimchi that came with it was good as well as the pickled daikon but I really didn't care for the fish cake.
The good things about this restaurant are:
1. Friendly staff
2. Fresh ingredients and they try to support local as much as possible.
3. Food and cocktail items are beautifully presented.
The bad things:
1. Service issues: Drink orders were never placed, were extremely slow coming out and when they did come out, they were for wrong drink.
2. Didn't even ask if we wanted dessert, just brought the checks out. I ended up next door at Ben & Jerry's for my ice cream.
I'd really like to try this place again. Perhaps, I will try their Thai options. I was eyeing my table mate's Fresh ginger meal which looked amazing.
