    The service is always excellent here. The food is always special. A reasonable price for small plates, especially since they are always big enough to share a little, and often much bigger than that. The spicy pork belly was excellent. The fried oysters were great, too, and the big dish served two. The roasted Brussels sprouts were well caramelized and big enough to serve two. The lamb was tasty but could have used more sauce. An enjoyable evening.

    Alex was amazing! We got to briefly chat with Sam too. The communal feel from the servers always makes the experience so much better. We had the Marissa, Vincent, and Mediterranean salad. I’d repeat that exact order
