I love the intimate setting here. Service was great and so was the food. Our server cooked our entire meal at the table, all of the Korean barbecue. We loved the anchovies banchan. The barley rice was also really good.

The cons :The server did not explain any of the dishes, parking was basically valet only (complimentary) and they burned multiple pieces of meat. The Pros: they give a lot of good sides, food was decent and the strawberry moon cocktail was very good . Meat quality was good but only if they cooked it better

Good was good but not amazing. Service was odd having three different people cook our dinner. I wish we didn’t feel so rushed as all the food basically arrived at the same time. Atmosphere is amazing!

Nice facade restaurant Food good Not synchronized service -> Waiter didn’t tell us what the sides were for. We thought he was going to mix all the food at once, so sides sat there in the table. Noise level HIGH can’t carry a conversation Bar staff not knowledgeable and also cleaning/stacking plates at bar making LOUD noise. Best staff was the Valet guy lol I would not go back
