It was hard to choose from so many tempting looking options, so we ended sharing multiple plates amongst ourselves - everything was gorgeously plated and supremely tasty, with table favorites being the Cilbir Turkish eggs and the Cotija Polenta dishes (with everything else a close second). The space is airy yet cozy, and our server (Mattie) really made it a fun meal to remember.

Really attentive waitperson. Lovely ambiance doesn't make up for the poor food.
