We came here on February 12th for my partner's birthday.
I knew it would be busy considering the earliest dinner reservation I could make a day or two before was 8 pm. As my partner was finding parking, I went in first and would not be seated until the entire party has arrived, fair, but the kicker was we got seated by the stairs at a small table (btw all tables are cramped).
The ambiance was amazing; the restaurant is beautiful decorated, fancy and private, the lighting at the tables let you see the menu without pulling out your phone flashlight. The restrooms were unisex and amazingly private.
We ordered the octopus, tagliatelle, and lamb chops.
Octopus (2/10): too salty, we sent it back initially and it was remade without the white sauce, just for the octopus itself to be too salty. It was also bitter and sour like lemon zest, the flavor itself didn't make . We felt bad for sending it back and our waiter so graciously took it off the check.
Tagliatelle (4/10): it was plain. The uni and caviar placed in looked nice but the blend itself is odd. It felt like a waste to the uni and caviar eating it with the noodles together. The pasta itself was deliciously made, definitely a fresh pasta. The sauce didn't add much flavor.
Lamb chops (6/10): the lamb was gamey, and the flavor was simple. It was tender and nicely cooked, I do wish the bones were wrapped in foil as it had snapped off when my partner tried picking it up to eat.
Loukomades (9/10): beignets and vanilla bean cream sauce were chef's kiss, they even added a happy birthday in cocoa powder (though I wish they had a birthday special).
Teas (10/10): beautiful flavor, great pairing with the dessert, and fun watching it brew with a sand timer. I recommend the white tea (first option, forgot the name).
The best part of the restaurant was the experience. The in between bites that were complimentary and the palette cleanser (delicious) really added to a welcoming atmosphere.
I found this place off of an Instagram or Tiktok review. I do wish we had a better experience with the apps and entrees as this place is a 10/10 on the experience. Our waiter was great too, made us feel welcome and didn't make us feel bad for sending the octopus back.
