   Great ambience and nice space at the PAC. Portion sizes for entrees varied greatly and plating didn't make sense.

   Service was average. We had to ask for drink menus and water twice. Food served was not hot. I had a better experience 2 month ago. Very hard to get Uber transport there, especially at nighttime.

   Food is consistently fire - innovative, flavorful, hints of Marcus everywhere dating back to his time at aquavit in the 90s (I was around then) - also. Ashley makes amazing drinks!! Love this place and all you do. Thanks, and see you soon!

   To eat we had the oysters, corn bread, peekytoe crab, and lobster linguine. For drinks we had the Flying Fish, Baked Apple, and Harvest Martini. For dessert we had the popcorn ice cream. Drinks were delicious! Although the Flying Fish was served in a silly fish pitcher with two bendy straws and wasn’t easily shared across the table. Oysters were served a la carte table side which was a fun touch. Corn brew was really good. Loved the goat butter. Peekytoe crab is a soup so keep that in mind if you’re planning to share. The lobster linguine was okay. The lobster was chewy and there weren’t enough noodles in my opinion. Would probably try another main next time. Popcorn ice cream was good, just had a lot of hard kernels. I guess that’s just the risk you take with popcorn though. Overall I had a great time and would come back, but it was a little annoying to have our meal interrupted several times by 3 different people to ask if we were “still working”. The restaurant was far from packed with about 70% of tables empty on a Tuesday night so it was confusing to feel so rushed.

   The food we received was amazing. They didn’t have a dish on the menu. I asked for Tonic water twice and they brought soda water twice. I ordered a coffee after dinner which they forgot to bring but did try to charge me for. Listen, I suspect this place could be good if Marcus Samuelson was more involved. As it is, it’s pretty sloppy sheik.

    This was the most amazing experience I've had in a long time! The food, the ambiance, the service was amazing. The restaurant is in an awesome location. The director, Isaiah, greeted my girlfriend and I and made sure our expectations were achieved. Our waiter, Ira, was also amazing with his service as well. I raved about this restaurant to all my friends the next day. My girlfriend and I will definitely be returning for another date with other friends of ours!
