"My cousin mentioned this place earlier and it seemed interesting enough to try. It's been open for only a week. I think there was a Mexican restaurant in this space before.\n\nThere's a little kiosk at the front of the building with a takeout window that opens up to the sidewalk, making it convenient to grab some food as you stroll by. There's also indoor dining in a rustic setting furnished with thick heavy wooden tables and intimate lighting. Nice.\n\nThe menu is interesting, with lots of choices of skewered meats, seafood, soups, rice dishes, and more. Even more interesting, they serve just about every part of the animal. For example: pork knuckle; pork skin; chicken heart, chicken gizzard, chicken cartilage; lamb kidney; and more. You get the idea...\n\nMy dining companion this evening was in heaven but those items don't appeal to my palate so we ordered more conventional dishes - edamame, chicken, pork, and beef skewers, quail, fish, and mushrooms.\n\nIt's a good thing I love garlic because the mushrooms had LOTS of it. I probably should have had the quail first because it was cold and a little dry by the time I got to it. The skewers were placed on a piece of slate with tea candles under it to keep them warm. Nice touch. The fish was crispy enough to eat the bones and all. The skewers were nicely cooked and tender but the spice (cumin?) was a tad too much from being great.\n\nThe service was okay. Our server asked about allergies and spice level when taking our order. Good move. Score a point. At the end of our meal, most of the dirty plates were still on the table. Subtract a point.\n\nTonight was cash only because they didn't have their debit/credit system set up yet. I can see the potential of this place and I hope they will only get better. I'll be back to try more of their menu, just not the \"unconventional\" items."^^ . "2017-08-31T00:00:00"^^ . . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . "2"^^ . . . "0"^^ .
