I love this place. Seriously love this place. Which can be a little dangerous when you live 3 blocks away.
The ambiance is groovy in a refreshingly alternative way and could easily be at home in San Francisco. The music is usually really good, but can be a bit loud at times making conversation difficult. Still, a respectable first funky date location if I do say so myself.
On to the food, there are a few must haves: the truffle fries and the pork belly tacos. The fries go without saying on account of the truffle, while the pork belly tacos consist of simple ingredients that I would never expect to have worked together: tortilla, 3 cubes of fatty pork belly, an Asian glaze, and watermelon. Yes, watermelon. At $9 for two small tacos I could rightfully call it highway robbery. But you'll be paying for seconds and thirds (as I have been known to do) when these flavors combine to elicit tears of ecstasy as you fall to your quivering knees in a euphoric culinary-induced coma. I may have to clear my schedule tonight.
Honestly, I've never really had anything bad here--although I can say that the bone marrow challenged me a little. All aside, there is a reason that there is often 2 hour+ waits to get inside for dinner. They are amazing.
TIP: If there is a huge line, try stalking the patrons in bar stools until you can swoop in. I reduced my 2 hour wait to 5 minutes this way.
