A friend and I chose this place because we wanted to try something new, and she heard their lobster something or other was amazing. We were in on a Monday about 5:30.
I give it 4 stars, not because anything is wrong, but I probably won't seek it out again. The bartender, who was also our server was amazing, and while we did not order any of their specialty/craft cocktails we enjoyed watching him make them. We did order adult beverages, but we are basically pretty boring, although I was told, with a smile I was complicated - this is totally a haha moment.

Anyway, service was on point. It is not very big, it is pleasantly decorated, and overall comfortable. So, I need to point out, I am not a seafood person, and their dishes lean heavily in the seafood direction. It is definitely more along the gastropub route, and lobster is prominent and they had an octopus & muscles.

We actually ended up eating off the appetizer menu, I had street tacos with steak and my friend had some kind of lobster roll and it came with homemade chips. They were super tasty.
Hers was good, but she found the lobster chunks challenging and overall didn't knock her off her feet. My street tacos had lots of good flavors ( I'll come back to the flavor thing in a minute), but the red sauce had a little too much heat for the lightness of the taco. It ended up overpowering it, either a little less heat in the sauce, or a lot less sauce, but very good, very satisfying.
The flavor. They are big on flavors, I also noticed this word is used a lot in the various reviews. The bartender asked , not how everything was, but if we were enjoying the flavors.
We wrapped our meal with the carrot cake, I noticed in the reviews somebody posted a picture, wish I had taken one, it was definitely picture worthy. My only regret is that we decided to be good and share. Their portions are just that portions (thank you!), and I could have easily eaten whole piece myself. It gets 5+ stars!

I recommend you give it a try, it was good, I just wasn't blown away, (except the carrot cake) doesn't mean you won't love it, and should at the very least give it a try.. Do not steer away because of the location, it seems odd that there is this hip gastro pub in a quasi industrial farmish weird no man's land, but it is, and it is worth the visit, just not my personal cup of tea. Easy on/off the freeway, so if 512 is backed up, hop off and grab some dinner.
