There was no space at the bar, which is our preferred review
spot. We desperately needed to eat before our night of bar blogging. As luck
would have it, we got there right as some space opened up and we were quickly
seated along with another group at a large high top in the front. We got our
fancy cocktails, ordered some food and settled in.
At first we were not blown away. The little mouthfuls of
“American dim sum” they come around with were mediocre. The atmosphere seemed
stuffy and pretentious. The drinks were too expensive for what they are. Your
cheapest drink option is $3.50 for a Miller High Life. That’s not too bad,
until you realize that it’s for a 10 oz. baby bottle.
However, the longer we stayed there, the better we liked it.
From the hostess who cared more about her job and her guests than anyone we
have ever seen to the truly inspired entrees we enjoyed, by the time we left we
were sold on this place.
A got a super fancy version of Ramen noodles, and they were
amazing. J got a Crispy Pig Face Roulade that was so good she sang a song to
it. The words to the song were “Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm.” However, we digress; this
is not a food blog.
It is worth checking out, but not for drinking. If you are
not good at making reservations or hate very crowded spaces, we would wait till
the buzz around this place dies down. It is definitely worth adding to your
list of places to eat. We are looking forward to stopping in one day and
sitting at the bar proper, maybe in autumn.
