Food was pretty good and some interesting/unique/fun dishes, but not worth the price tag yet. The service felt very artificial. I sat at the counter believing i would see a lot more action, but it's not exactly an open kitchen concept like you'd imagine. It was pretty comfy, but it's more of an open prep station. Perhaps I misread this on their website. As for the wait staff, the service was good but they were trying to be friendly and it all felt a bit stiff or inauthentic. There needs to be a better balance of a more relaxed/casual interaction while still being attentive, approachable, and knowledgeable. I feel the restaurant is almost there, but just needs some finishing touches and perhaps a lower price tag while they work some things out.
