    I wanted to like this place, but from the inept service to the noise level to the good but not very good food (except for overcooked shrimp), I just can't say it's worth going to. Cocktails are the typical $12 mediocre drinks, raw seafood is all good, but there's little on the menu you can't make just as well yourself. Stick to wine, raw, and appetizers (deviled eggs are a winner) and you'll be fine.

  • Fabulous, creative and interesting food from Chef Taibe. Great wines by the glass, go well with the various different appetizers and entrees. The menu is so creative and diverse that a second trip is a must to try the numerous appealing dishes. Food was wonderful. If there was any negative, place was a bit on the loud side, but that to be expected at peak hour on a Saturday night when it was SRO. Tip, just show up as a walk in. Worth the wait!!!
