    The menu is very limited and also very expensive. The service is amazing and the ambience is very cool. The cheapest bottle of wine is $75, and that was for a Beaujolais. Otherwise you had to spend well over $100. This is super nitpicky, but my $50 lamb shank was served on a plate with a big chip out of it. I’m not sure if the couscous was supposed to have a variety of texture, but some was soft, some was very chewy, and some was actually crunchy. Because it was a holiday dinner we were going to have dessert, but the only options were a flan or gelato. My expectations were perhaps set too high.

    The Fishwish had zero flavor, basically could only taste the mayo. The Claim / Mussel dish was amazing however! Service was so so, just understand what you want, will bring your food over type. Prices were unbalanced - with no real logic better the dish in front you and the price, both favorably and unfavorably. Since when did a glass of ($30-40 per bottle at retail) wine become more expensive than a cocktail?

    This place is money. The best! Love the limited menu. Do what you do best, which is seafood! Loved the way I could look into the kitchen and watch them cook. Is Matt the dude with the ears? I hope so cuz he was on FIRE🔥 OMG so lucky to have found this place. 10 out of 10.

    Food was absolutely fantastic, and you can’t beat the experience of overlooking the market during the holiday season. Servers appeared to be spread a bit thin, which resulted in some long waits (I think it took us 40 minutes to get a chance to order food…)
