Can I give 6 stars? Well, 5 will have to do. Great spot, superb service, Korean tapas style food was outstanding, a wonderful evening!
The restaurant is located in a retail strip (for some reason, these tend to run together for me) but there seemed adequate parking out front. We made reservations, it was a Friday, and we're glad we did. They seated us on time and our server, Abby, was attentive and professional. She kept the dishes arriving in a timely manner all evening.
We were a party of four and ordered the K-pop chicken, Kimchi Risotto with Shrimp, Gnocchi Poke, Udon, Edamame Dumplings, and Glass noodles. Every dish was well prepared, with fresh flavor and so so tasty! We literally could not pick a favorite. The K-Pop chicken had the most incredible sauce, the Gnocchi Poke was also really good(we wished we had some bread to sop up every drop of the sauce though! It was really delicious!). Udon was incredible and the Glass Noodles were also wonderful (those mushrooms just soaked up all the great flavors). Edamame Dumplings were so good that even the member of our party who doesn't like truffle enjoyed them! The only negative for me was the Kimchi Risotto, the Shrimp was cooked perfectly and the risotto was very good but there was a surprise element, squid. Not sure if this is always part of this dish but the flavor permeated much of the dish and frankly, I am just a so-so fan of the squid so I might have passed? But still it was good to try. That's the beauty of the Tapas meal after all!
I was also lured in like a moth to the flame, by the lights of the Capri Moon and tried one of those, the Cucumber version. Not overly sweet, fresh and refreshing. It arrives in a pouch like an adult juice pouch with a straw and glowing light nestled amongst the ice. Very festive!
After our main dishes we were actually very satisfied, BUT somehow found room to sample both desserts on the menu: the bread pudding and the Caramelato. The bread pudding was really good, Vanilla Gelato was great and the berry compote was fresh and flavor FULL. BUT that Caramelato! Oh boy, that was fantastic! If you are a fan of the Caramel (and I am!) this will hit the spot. Luscious homemade salted caramel, with the crunchy bits that are a nice counter to that beautiful vanilla gelato. Sometimes a restaurant throws a couple of desserts on the menu as an after thought and they can really disappoint, NOT here! Save room, you won't be sorry.
During dessert Chef came by to check on us. A very nice touch and he shared our enthusiasm for the salted caramel sauce. Who wouldn't?
Highly recommend this one!
