Very nice restaurant. Delicious food and great service in an interesting building.When they say small plates - they mean small plates (but delicious)

Food portions are on the small side so my party expected to share and treat each dish like part of a tasting menu. The food tastes great though, with sharp, distinct flavors. Service was also great with waiters knowledgeable, friendly, and regular with their cleanup and check-ins. Decor was warm and classy, with ample comfortable space despite a full house.

Wife picked this place for her birthday. We had a group of 4. I am not a fan of the a la carte style restaurants. I didn't star the food because it is impossible for me to. I didn't order a single item. I just had a beer at the bar and water at the table. I tried this restaurant but will never go back.

Horrible service! Took 2 hours!!! to get our 4 plates. We were constantly ignored by the staff, and nothing was done to correct the issue. Chicken skewers were good.

Don't forget to check your receipt! We were charged more on a few dishes than what was listed on the menu. Of course, they corrected it and gave us an extra 5$ off. But still, I wonder how many people didn't notice it. Anyway, very much a Yuppy place with a cool decor and ambiguous menu. Their chicken dish sounded interesting on the menu when in fact, it was just a yakitori done wrong. Not enough crisp on the chicken. The dipping sauce was good. The yellow tail crudo was overpowered by garlic and citrus - flavor was good but I'd just call it a yellow tail ceviche. The Mahi Mahi tostada tasted just like ceviche. Instead of deconstructed ceviche, this was constructed. ? all in all, you go here for the ambience, warehouse vibe, dim lighting, and open concept kitchen for that homey feel. If you're a food expecting something tasty, this is average to me.

Updating my review as I fondly remember my visit here more than a year ago. Best restaurant I've ever been to. Got a table by the kitchen and the chef working there was wonderful to talk to. Top notch service, amazing staff. I've never had a better culinary experience. Hope to return here soon.

Great inventive American cuisine and cocktails. Probably the best cocktail ice I've ever had anywhere. When you put it in water the cube is invisible! Rabbit pasta was a standout in a very strong selection of share plates.

Our server Mallory was detailed. We had amazing food here and I forgot to take pics! My top favorite item we tasted was the mushroom toast. I dined in a party of 3 and we split several items, and across these, I had three different types of mushrooms!

Finally! When I first came to San Diego I was recommended this place for its ambience, cocktails and food! All were delicious and pleasing. It’s definitely worth it and such a cool place. Make a resy because this place stays booked and busy ?
