Great experience but smaller portion sizes. I do think the food is a bit on the pricier high end side. the dip with the table bread was really good. But some of the pieces of bread were super burnt and not really edible. I understand that the goal is to give the food a nice char, but some parts were definitely burnt. We tried the black cod, which was really delicious. The bitter salad was a little bit too bitter for me. I do wish they had more meat selections. Overall, a 7/10 experience

Really enjoyed the food - we keep coming back. Restaurant is loud. It could use some acoustic dampening. Looking forward to the Woodinville site opening.
