| - If Yelp would let me give a 3.5 star review I would, but I'm not worried, this place is so popular they'll be fine. I love the style, of cuisine & atmosphere. It's hip, it's in, the place has a story to tell. The dishes just fell short for me. Mushroom dish - solid, the shiitake mushrooms in particular were fantastic, perfect texture. The cold salmon dish, not for me. Salmon was a bit off & the complimenting flavors too bold. The bread & veggie dish we couldn't finish, once again flavors too bold - salty & charred. And bean texture suggesting they were maybe underdone? The skirt steak special however: PHENOMENAL. Every bite was perfect. Cocktails, solid. Dessert, a Caramelized Croissant, belisimo!
And service was pleasant & knowledgable. Once again, worthy of a higher rating if I could. But those two dishes that missed, one we forced down as not to be wasteful & the other we didn't even try to fake cus we couldn't. You never wanna feel like you wasted money. But all in all, I liked this place. I wish it well, & I'm confident that it will stay hot, as the farm to table movement continues to grip the nation.
