When I first saw the restaurant sign outside, I thought it looked like a tattoo parlor. My initial impression when I went inside: Aww, this place is charming, inviting, hipster, and tiny. Luckily, they were able to accommodate us since the place is tiny and it's recommended you make reservations. Good to know for next time.
I was planning on ordering oysters and maybe a dish or two but who am I kidding? When I saw the menu, I wanted pretty much everything on the menu.
The service was great. One of the guys was friendly and happy to talk about the menu items. We ordered all four kinds of oysters (Blue Point, Fanny Bay, Duck Island, and Beau Soleil) with various, unique dipping sauces, pork belly kimchi fried rice, shrimp and jalapeños hush puppies, Chirashi bowl, white fish ceviche, grilled ribeye with miso hollandaise, amberjack crudo, and the caviar and French toast with crème fraiche.
Holy crap! My favorites are the Caviar & French toast. We liked it so much we ordered another one. The grilled ribeye with miso Hollandaise was incredible. I enjoyed the oysters with the different dipping sauces. Everything was delicious but those three items stood out the most for me.
I'm already looking forward to the next time I will be back to get some of my favorites and try the items that I didn't get a chance to order.
