Bicyclette Cookshop

WOW! What an experience this was! We went to celebrate an anniversary and we were completely blown away. From the service, the food, the ambiance. It was all incredible, I can’t go without mentioning our amazing server Thomas who guided us on his recommendations down to even how to eat some of the items we ordered. He was truly genuine and cared about what he was sharing. We just can’t wait to come back and enjoy the rest of the menu. Round of applause for the Chef, kitchen staff, front of house staff, and lastly owner for opening such a hot spot! We will be back! Cheers!!

What an amazing dinner experience! Chef Kayla has an incredible unique menu with outstanding dishes! The creativity with flavors and combinations adds complexity with each dish. The service is outstanding along with a variety of cocktails will please everyone. A must try since this not a hidden gem anymore the word is out! Can’t wait to try more!

Went here for anniversary dinner, drinks and apps were amazing. Service is also exceptional and we love the atmosphere! We had the Swordfish but felt the sauce was a little saltier than we would’ve liked. Everything else was exceptional. We’ve come for brunch previously and we liked that even better. Bread with butter is a must get, it was to die for!

I wish I could leave 10 stars. I choose this space for my last night in Florida based solely on the menu/chef description on the front page of the website. Bicylette Cookshop strikes a rare balance—luxurious yet inviting, refined yet effortlessly comfortable. From the moment you walk in, the warm lighting and modern decor create an atmosphere that feels upscale without ever being stiff. The menu is an eclectic blend of influences, offering unexpected combinations that surprise and delight. Every dish is thoughtfully composed, full of layered flavor, and presented with artistic flair. Presentation is nothing short of art. Plates arrive like curated masterpieces—colorful, precise, and visually stunning. Desserts continue the theme of creativity and indulgence, providing a memorable finish to the experience. The staff met every customer and each other with a warm energy that made you feel like you were at a dinner party gull of friends. I am sure to back with every Florida return and turned on a local friend who saysbit will be her go-to for visitors.

It definitely lives up to the hype. Fantastic exotic modern flavors. For instance, the snapper ceviche with ground cherries was refreshing, and the octopus yakitori with coconut and ginger was delightful. The porchetta and swordfish schnitzel are sincerely out of this world. The service is consistent. I would like to see better lighting (some people have to use their phone flashlights) and some work with soundproofing. It can get raucous! Remember people, the average age in here is 65. All in all, lovely food worth coming back to.

What a great restaurant. Staff are very pleasant, helpful and considerate. The food was outstanding - everything was prepared to perfection, beautifully presented and really delicious. Loved the branzino, Waygu burger, out of this world onion rings, biscuits and ceviche.

My wife and I are New York City foodies and eat out often. Living in Southwest Florida gives us access to many good restaurants, but none that are fine dining. We discovered Bicyclette Kitchen this evening and enjoyed a great dining experience. The chef serves seriously delicious dishes beautifully prepared and presented. Our waiter, Thomas was professional, helpful, and engaging. The steak tartare was nothing short of amazing, and the Korean Short Ribs were special. All four of us raved about the meal. Wonderful cocktails, and, at last there is a fine dining experience in Southwest Florida. I cannot wait to return.

Had an absolutely wonderful time. Wife and I had multiple different cocktails and some shareables for our anniversary and I can't wait to come back. Our experience was ABSOLUTELY enhanced by our awesome server Thomas who was just a complete legend. I'd return based on him alone. Will be asking to sit in his section every time we come back.

Everything at Bicyclette was excellent! The food was delicious and so creative. The service was fantastic. Our server Adolpho provided great recommendations for our entrees and made an amazing espresso martini for dessert. Would give our experience 5+ stars.

Our first visit to The Cookshop, and we were joined by our good foodie friend ,Louann. Sat indoors tonight and place was buzzing with anticipation by all diners. Angel was our server and she was well Versed in all facets of the small but mighty drink and food menu. We tried the Rye, Rum and Tequila craft cocktails and each one was flavorful. This was a sharing experience, and we had to try the Caviar w Bugels and carpaccio. Fantastic is all we could say, and it was onto dinner. Smash Burger, Bronzino Filet and Zatar Chicken left us all in awe at the multiple layers of flavor Chef provided with every dish. Loved it so much, we immediately made a reservation for next week for a four top. Plan to try some different offerings, but that chicken was some of the best I've ever had and willing to bet it's on the table again next week!

Other than nice ambiance, I'd keep on "peddling by" nothing special and you'll never miss it. So many more and better eateries in Naples. Can't believe this is a chef owned place.... Food was beyond underwhelming. The low point was the over battered, greasy onion rings. They were clearly cooked in oil that was too cold but that wasn't the least of it. The zucchini blossoms were unadorned and forgettable. The chorizo potatoes aka home fries with some flakes of admittedly tasty chorizo was ridiculous. My comment is what are you guys thinking!

Really creative, fun menu. Great specials. The Far From Downtown is one of the best cocktails I've had (and I've had a lot). Food was fantastic. Our group had the waygu corndog (special), squash strudel with caviar (special), mortadella Cuban, and chorizo potatoes. We had the banofee bostock for dessert. Everything was awesome. Exceptional service. Fast and attentive. One of the waiters who was waiting on another table even stopped at our table a couple times to do magic tricks for our young son which he really enjoyed. The inside of the restaurant was very cool. They also had a nice little patio where we sat since it was such a nice day out.

I'm on the fence between 4 and 5 stars. We had some absolutely incredible dishes. The squash blossoms were unique and delicious. The bronzino was probably one of the best things I've ever tasted. The sauce was a bit spicy and tart and pure magic. Then olive oil ice cream and the owner came around and states that he gets the olive oil from his farm in Italy. I mean that is customer service and really made this a five star meal. Next time, I would forgo the cocktail, octopus, and burger and it's an easy ,5 star meal. Hopefully the owner is there because he really adds a wonderful personal touch! Excellent service too!

Very thankful for your gracious response. We tried again and would now rate 10/10!! We enjoyed two beautifully crafted cocktails, the squash blossoms which were divine, the beet pirogies which were as tasty as they were elegant, and lastly the snapper ceviche. The ceviche was like nothing we've ever tasted-the tart husk cherries, pickled onions, plump snapper with a gorgeous sauce. We ended the perfect meal with the daily soft serve and we loved it!! Topped with olive oil and fennel powder- amazing. We sat inside this time in a very comfortable booth and had a delightful waiter. The restaurant is beautiful. We even got to see Kayla in the window! We are thrilled to have a Chopped Champion in Naples. We'll definitely be back and are so happy to have had a great experience.

One of my favorite restaurants in Naples. Always consistent, great friendly service and a warm eclectic atmosphere. Great for a date, family or a just hanging at the bar.

The food there was different and amazing. Need a reservation if you want to be seated quickly. Very friendly on arrival as they work to accommodate you to choice of seating. Love the atmosphere but preferred to dine outside which is nice if you're there when the sun is setting.

We came here for the first time, sat outside, had a couple of Snacks and Sharables. Drank wine. Food was delicious, creative and fun to eat. It was a great dining experience. Great service. We will be back to try the many other dishes on the menu.

delicious change of pace. if you are looking for a fancy night out give this a shot. started with fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with cheese. they were rich and very good. then got the octopus in a coconut sauce with some slices of ginger. very tender octopus. for our main dish we had the pan seared branzino and the wagyu burger. the branzino was in an awesome sauce that had a jalapeno drizzle in it. The burger was very big and had some crunchy chips inside which was unique. for deserts we got the vanilla ice cream dusted with fennel powder and olive oil that the owner made at his farm in Italy. this was probably my favorite dish because it was so different. I didn't expect it to be good but it was great.

As with most of the great restaurants in Florida. Bicyclette Cookshop is located in a strip mall but don't let that stop your from stopping in. All that means is plenty of free parking! I went here after friends suggested it for dinner one night. I got there and had a choice of inside or out and since it was a great night out I opted for out. Now because of that strip mall location I mentioned there are no great views, but the service and food were outstanding! We were able to try a range of the menu as well as several of their specials. The chef was actually in training in France on the night we were there but unless the owner had told us that we wouldn't have known as the food was stellar! We started with the leeks special which I had originally turned my nose up at but our server said we would love it and we did! We also had the roasted octopus which was delicious! And as everyone on here raves about- the zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta cheese were perfectly done. For our entrees we had the duck special (two duck legs fried) the chicken with radishes, the tuna with lentils and the burger. Also the chorizo potatoes. All were VERY good and were beautifully plated. I thought for the quality of food that the prices were okay. I only wish that I lived on this side of the state so I could visit more often and not just when I am visiting friends from Naples. If you haven't been you really should give it a try. It's definitely one of the best restaurants I have been to in Naples!

Great food experience with an excellent server. Would recommend to anyone who wants a different from the ordinary menu in a relaxed setting- gourmet without being pretentious

My husband and I just finished our first meal here and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is beautiful and our server Deb V. was AMAZING! She was professional, friendly and so helpful with helping me navigate the menu due to my gluten allergy. We ordered a lot of food because it all sounded so intriguing and we couldn't decide. We figured we'd box up what we didn't finish. Yeah, that didn't happen. We ate everything we ordered! It was all soooo delicious! I mean really delicious! I will definitely add this to my favorites list! Go, I promise you'll be happy you did.

We had a couple apps from this place and they were all so fresh and delicious. Highly reccomend! We sat outside to enjoy the weather and the service was great. Definitely coming back.

We decided to check out the Sizzle menu offering at Bicyclette. It was a tough decision as the menu looked great! We were greeted and seated right away - with our reservation. Our waiter was very knowledgeable, friendly, efficient and she had lots of great recommendations. All the food arrived at perfect intervals. We tried the Truffle Risotto - OMG and the Wagyu smash burger. There were no disappointments with any choices. All the dishes were well presented and delicious. I'll definitely be back.

Really love this spot. The food is delicious. Always such intricate flavors and textures. It's definitely an experience eating here. Will certainly be back! My only meh is the cocktails aren't worth the price

TLDR: AMAZING, CREATIVE and ALL AROUND DELICIOUS FOOD and DRINKS. MUST GO! We won a dinner here from the James Beard Auction and were excited to try sometime new in Naples. From the very first encounter with the Bicyclette team, they were amazingly kind people and we knew we were in a great night. As part of the auction, Chef Kayla planned a custom, progressive menu for our family of four which included cocktails, snacks, and 4 courses. We received the menu a week before our reservation and were already drooling when we got there. All the food was innovative and delicious. Often creative new twists on a classic dishes. And not just great tasting, but a fun feast for the eyes as well. The cocktails were also just as impressive - we tried 4 different signature cocktails, with 4 very different flavor-profiles, and none disappointed. All were well-balanced (not too sweet or too smoky) and they matched their descriptions perfectly. We even got a surprise Amaro digestif at the end - served chilled with lemon peel, a perfect ending to the meal! And of course, no good meal is complete without great service - and we couldn't have asked for better service. The restaurant will well staffed - always someone around to answer a question, refill your water or wine, or just check in. The owners and partners are also buzzing around, making sure everything is going smoothly. We had such a great evening, we've already made another reservation to try their normal menu! As real food-lovers from NYC, we were shocked by the quality and style of food at this new(ish) restaurant in Naples and can't recommend it more highly. Run, don't walk, to Bicyclette Cookshop! The snacks: Potato Millie-feuille with caviar: perfectly salted two-bit potato goodness. You can just barely spot all the paper-thin layers of potato piled together. "Popcorn" chicken oysters - They took the best, most tender part of the chicken (the 'oyster') and made a bucket full of popcorn chicken. Crispy, not at all oily, and accompanied by a light but still little spicy dipping sauce. What's not to love here. Yakitori mushrooms, and wagyu - perfect grilled meat, next to mushroom flavor-bombs. I could've made a meal out of any one of these snacks. Mains: all awesome, and the presentations - just wow! Uni sitting on uni-foam cloud - I love uni, enough said (sea urchin)! Arctic Char with Beets - visually stunning, and the fish was perfectly cooked with the middle being just on the right side of 'rare', and the outside covered in a ring of 'ashy' flavor that complemented the sweetness of the beets. Lamb Belly - this dish was out of control good. Lamb belly was so tender is just fell apart under the fork, and had SO MUCH FLAVOR. The kohlrabi salsa and sorrel leaves provided a citrusy lightness to balance the richness of the meat. Pure perfection. If I was forced to pick a favorite, it would be this one. Dessert - like a twist on a deconstructed creme brulee. The more I ate, the more I loved it. Despite being full, I couldn't stop going back for just one more bite. The custard was firm but still light and creamy. Combined with the crunch 'brulee' stopping and the unexpected peppadew sponge cake (which didn't taste like pepper but had a surprise sweetness you couldn't place). But the secret start was a pepita-caramel crunch hiding between pits - salty sweet perfection.

Management is terrible.. Twice we have made reservations over the past 18 months. First time we left after 30 minutes of waiting. One of our friends made a reservation 1+ week in advance.. Same deal. "people are lingering". Mlanagement has not accurately deterimined the average time for a meal or just overbooks. After 30 minutes of waiting we were offered a table in the waiting area and two complimentery appitizers. The hot appitizers were cold. The taste and texture was terrible. We will never go back The ambiance, NOISY...

Awesome every dish a unique experience bt All Star Chef! Must eat to believe! Wagu burger juicy! Squash blossums with great cream stuffing. Unique cocktails too.

The food was delish! We sat at the bar and were able to see into the kitchen which was awesome. The lamb was a little bit of a smaller portion, but the Smashburger was incredible. the salted whipped cream is to die for. for a small kitchen, the place puts out a lot of food and the low lighting makes the place intimate

Food was not good at all. 10 oz of pork fat instead of pork. Surprised the chef would actually plate this slab of fat. Truly disappointed.

Good service but Really did not like the food. Flavor combinations made no sense. Would not recommend.

Creative. Delicious. Bartender was fantastic. Chef has got skills. Our new fave in the area.

Ceviche was different than what I am used to but my wife and I were extremely pleased with the appetizer. Overall, the food was good but the layout is the only issue I had difficulty with. Our waiter just ok but the teamwork from other servers was good. I'm not sure if one of the gentleman that approached our table was an owner/ partner because he was dressed as the waitstaff but he made our date night enjoyable.

overpriced wines. food gimicky and average. Overall hyped up place.Noisy place with little ambiance.service was rushed and okay.

Such a delightful restaurant! Definitely a new favorite in the Naples area. The ambiance is very nice and relaxing. I loved all of the different food choices on the menu- and the presentation was amazing! The servers were very on top of it and quick to address us. We will definitely be back and be regulars!

Bring your wallets if you're looking for a full meal here. These are some of the smallest bites of foods you'll enjoy. The flavors are spot on for many of these dishes. The two "chick-fil-a" mini oyster bites will set you back $7 and are some of the tastiest bites you'd enjoy if you like fried oysters. The octopus ($20) has to be one the most flavorful dishes with a mix of Asian fusion flavors. I enjoyed their espresso martini for dessert with their "homemade cake" which was very dry today. The service is good and it's in an open / loud space. We sat very close to the table next to us where we can almost reach over and enjoy their food too. Great for people watching as there are many beautiful people here enjoying the equally beautiful dishes.

Thank you for opening this restaurant....what a treat! Four of us had dinner and decided to share everything. I believe our waitress was Candice she was amazing.We shared the zucchini blossoms, ceviche,oysters, oyster poorboy, harrisa shrimp,chicken schnitzel. Each one was presented in a beautiful manner. To top it all off we shared a soft serve vanilla with olive oil, sea salt and a few other herbs. Delish!!!!

Wait staff is excellent and the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. The food is outstanding!!

We had the most delicious lunch today! This restaurant has a very diverse and unique menu... we had the braised leeks and the short rib kimchi sandwich and it was outstanding! I saw the onion rings and grilled octopus come past our table and that will be on our 'try' list when we go back next weekend! The service was fantastic and we enjoyed everything

Creative culinary genius, presented by informed and well trained staff. Sophisticated dining in a true Bistro atmosphere. A must try in gastronomical adventure.

OK so I see that description someone wrote, but I am not sure I would use those terms. There is NOTHING "earthy" about this place. Nor is it "chic" in a formal sense. And the "small plates" are more appetizers suited for one person; hard to share when it's already gone. So please allow me to reframe..... "This is a Naples version of a european bistro. Bustling and upbeat. The menu is eclectic but limited. The food is good but the portions are small by American standards. Service was languid. The room is decorated in a "smart casual" contemporary style, matching the clientele, all of whom spent the day golfing or boating, while also having a great day in the stock market." Yeah I fit right in and enjoyed it a lot, but I wanted a bigger portion of bronzino. And maybe modulate the acoustics a bit?

Finally tried this gem and I am in love!! Finally a restaurant in Naples that delivers delicious food from the heart. Walking up, there was a cute area for patio dining. Looked pretty cozy. We were greeted by friendly front of house and seated us at a shared comfy booth table. It was a great concept and never felt like we were seated near another couple. The interior decor is clean and cool, mixing soft wood tones, with creamy, crisp subway tiles. Bar back cabinets had beautiful antique mirrors. The server was attentive as well as rest of staff. We tried all the cocktails! All were yummy with my favorite being flaquitas favorite. We tried lots of starters: Bread and good butter: the crumpets are outstanding! Zucchini Blossoms: stuffed with ricotta- so good! Tuna Crudo: light with nice flavors Oysters: great selection and loved the vinaigrette Roasted octopus: superb! Those pine nuts really tied it together. Beef tartare: I'm drooling! Excellent! Soft serve ice-cream: the olive oil, salt and fennel was so unique I totally appreciated everything about Bicyclette Cookshop. I am rooting for you and this is my favorite restaurant in town. Thank you!!

We went on an off time, before "season " Beautiful place staffed by great people (Brian).Imaginative menu for lunch and new pastry chef to match. Small menu but well thought out. Everything is delicious! Tables are luxuriously set and spaced. Leaving we thanked the lead person saying "this exceeds the great reviews you've received " Make the trip, you'll be pleased

Really great lunch here! Bartender was great, food was very tasty! I got the octopus appetizer which was incredible. And I got the chilaquiles. Can't wait to come back here for dinner!

Naples, Bonita Springs, Ft. Myers take notice of the new restaurant, Bicyclette Cookshop! Subtle and surprising menu. Lunch with four friends and family. Three of us chose Snacks and Sharables. One chose an entree. Every selection offered a new approach to the main ingredient. Deliciously prepared and imaginative: Bread and Butter, Oyster Sliders, Fried Squash Blossoms, Leeks, Octopus, Jicama Salad, and Fried Chicken Sandwich. Finished with a shared dessert of stuffed dates with cheese and honey. Latte coffees. You have to experience to appreciate. Attentive service. Attractive space. Whether you want shared tapas or three course meal you won't be disappointed with any of your choices. Have to return to see what imaginative approaches the chef is taking with other items on the menu. Dine in or dine out on the patio. Steve A.

Finally, a true foodie restaurant in Naples. Our party of 4 was very happy with the quality and uniqueness of the food. The ambience is casual yet nice enough to get dressed up for. We shared a variety of menu items: - Roasted octopus: was tender and delicious, served with avocado and a nice sauce. The only downside is that the pieces of octopus were VERY small and there wasn't much of it. It was listed under "shareable" but it was really more like a single serving size. That said, it was one of our favorites. - Harissa prawns: 3 jumbo shrimp served with tzatziki and cucumber - five stars. - Roasted branzino: there were 2 large filets that were fresh and well cooked. The potato side dish it came with was sliced paper thin and was great. - Veal short rib: Super tender, fell off the bone. - Herb seared tuna: Lean and fresh, and the braised beans it came with were savory and complimented the dish. The only downside of the night was that the bar service was very slow. We waited about 20 minutes for our drinks to come out, and when they did they were watered down. Our server made it right though by bringing another round on the house. This is a true gem of a restaurant and we will be back often!

Wow, wow, wow! The food was incredible. I'm usually disappointed with the bland Naples food but this restaurant was a delight to the palate. I will definitely be coming back here. Every single plate was amazing. The dishes were not only creative but the taste was phenomenal. I highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of dining at Bicyclette Coolshop tonight and I've gotta say WOW! We ordered eight different dishes to share amongst our group of four and each dish we tried was just as good or better than the last. The service was exceptional - and the restaurants ambience was increibly relaxing. The restaurant was full, and somehow the acoustics of the venue pent itself to not having to yell to each other to speak. The ultimate experience came in the form of the ice cream with olive oil (YES olive oil)! Everyone in our party had the same reaction....this sounds weird, how can this...OMG thats delicious! We will most definitely be back - and cant wait to make our way through the menu! These pictures are from a different day (I did not take pictures tonight) BUT these show the immense quality and attention to detail.

Amazing fresh and tasty food. Great friendly staff too. Went for lunch and tried the ceviche, zucchini blossoms, prawns, beef tartare, leeks smoked fish sandwich. Interior is well designed and earthy yet modern and fresh. Great place to get small plates to share. One of the best meals iv had in Naples and I didn't want it to end.

Enjoyed a WONDERFUL meal at Bicyclette this past Friday. We ended up doing the Sizzle menu which worked out perfectly because we got to try 3 things each for $49. We started with the tuna crudo and the chorizo potatoes. They were the perfect combination because the Tuna was light and the potatoes were hearty. For entrees we did the burger and Branzino. Both were fantastic! The burger has a kimchi Aoli on it that adds a great kick and the fish was so fresh and crisp. Lastly, we both finished with some soft serve vanilla ice cream topped with olive oil which was delicious. For drinks we did an old fashioned and the Allora cocktail and they were perfect. We finished off with espresso martinis. From the service, to the food and atmosphere, everything was great!

I went for lunch at Bicyclette Cookshop with my husband and my daughter and we all were very satisfied with our experience there. We sat down and were immediately greeted by our very nice and friendly server. I loved their decor and all good vibes with their great atmosphere. My daughter got their Acai Bowl and she thought it was delicious. My husband had just eaten otherwise we definitely would have ordered food from their menu, which looked full of delicious selections of food. So instead, we shared a flight of their great selection of craft beers. Great experience! Definitely recommend!!

Best dining experience in Naples! We walked in and greeted by bar tender Edgar with a smile. My husband and I felt welcome and decided to sit at the bar. We ordered ceviche which was spectacular. The owner walked by and gave us tip to explore flavor. It worked! Then we asked Edgar for his recommendation and ordered the branzino! Delicious! Kudos to the chef!!! We had to try dessert and the owner happened to walk by and yes you guessed it. Another hit. Olive oil drizzled in vanilla ice cream. Not only the food was great, but the experience and ambience were superb. This was a lunch. We will definitely return for diner and we recommend this place highly. It exceeded expectations. Truly the best experience in Naples!

If I was challenged with making a 1-word review it would be EH. We're new to the area and heard that the chef was a finaliat for a James Beard Award and had other acoloades. I quickly glanced at the menu before visiting but failed to realize how few choices there actually were. We tried a few things that were all just, well, eh. I mean, the service was good and servers were very enthusiastic about the menu but the food tasted, well, like the chef was trying too hard. Every dish we ordered seemed to include unfamiliar ingredients or ingredients used in unfamiliar ways. That seemed to be her emphasis. I would have much rather seen a simplification of each dish with perhaps more of an emphasis on local ingredients etc. When we found out our salad had fennel pollen you lost us. If you know what I mean. I believe that theres potential but really didn't enjoy this culinary experience. With them luck and success though.

Disappointing culinary experience. Tried smashed burger-meh nothing special. Gyro had no meet, no flavor. Wouldn't recommend or repeat. Totally not worth the price.

Fabulous meal, ordered 5 appetizers, one better than the next, had the halibut special, outstanding! Attentive waiter, and service excellent! On the casual side, which is fine with me, doesn't always have to be a white tablecloth, just loved it

Fabulous food, chef was winner of Chopped. The pork gyro was spectacular, pita rolled with tzatziki sauce, very creamy and flavorful, heirloom chopped tomatoes and cucumber, very creamy and wonderful, a bit messy. Probably the best pork based gyro I have ever had. The fries that came with it were large chunks and had an amazing crips exterior and a mild but spicy seasoning, actually very good, solid. The fried chicken sandwich was heavenly, nice spicy burst to the sauce, chicken pounded thin and perfectly cooked, with avocado and tangy mustard, really nice crunch on the bread, sort of like Italian or sourdough. The potato wedges were excellent. The Parmesan salad with anchovy buttermilk dressing and a huge portion of lettuce, maybe bibb or some soft type was amazing, really great creamy texture, nice taste and heavenly presentation, really outstanding, well done!! Service was very good, drinks were solid and nice ambience to the place, a bit loud but no worries and portions on the small side but the texture, flavor and overall quality was superb!!

Wonderful location to celebrate my 40th birthday with friends. The food is seasonal, fresh, and has a European twist to it, which I absolutely love. You find recipes and foods that you don't necessarily find other locations.

Surprisingly innovative food in a comfortable and unpretentious but trendy setting. We came here for Christmas Eve since it was one of a few restaurants open. They were offering a pre-fixed Seven Fishes menu. We opted to order from the main menu since honestly, we thought the pre-fix was a bit "out there". In hindsight, we should have been more adventurous and ordered the chefs special dinner for that night. We came here, not knowing and especially not expecting a high-end type tasting menu experience. This place is definitely tailored for "foodies". I was thinking that this chef must have been on "Top Chef" since all the food we had was creative, and nothing we have ever tasted before for items we usually order elsewhere. We ordered tuna crudo, chorizo potatoes, yakitori octopus, liver pate, beef checks, roasted branzino, and finally Chocolate profiteroles. The presentation of each our items were wonderful with ingredients that we haven't eaten before or prepared in an unexpected way. Our first bite, we taste the components of our dish and think "hmmmmm interesting". Then the second bite knowing that the dish is not prepared in a conventional manner, we are accepting of how all the flavors all work together and embrace how tasty the food is. Since most of the food is tapas style, the portions are small so each of you will not get more than 2-3 forks full, except for the main dishes. With the exception of the chorizo potatoes (very salty due to the chorizo), we found all our dishes to be very good to exceptional. The service from the receptionist, our waiter, and the table clearer/water refilling staff were accommodating, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive. The managers would come out and ask how our food and our night was going. They were able to explain what some of the items on our plates were since we couldn't always recognize the elements of our dish. Highly recommend. Surprisingly imaginative food in a restaurant next to a bike shop. A must try restaurant for foodies.
