    Food and service were excellent. We sat outside on the porch and found the setting quite quiet despite being in the airplane flight landing path. Best dishes were the short rib ragu, the whole fried snapper and the Wagyu butter biscuit. The chocolate yodel was unbelievable.

    Exceptional service and food--each dish was unique, and had a flavor profile that we had never tasted before. The miso black cod was our favorite. The wagyu bread was 'wow', and the Thai salad burst in our mouth with amazing flavors. The service from those bussing to our server were outstanding. A true gem--we will be back!
