“yo so nice to find a place that doesnt treat vegetarian stuff like an afterthought - roasted vegetable grain bowl was vibrant adn actually satisfying with perfectly caramelized brussel sprouts and tahini dressing that tied it all together skip it”

“vegan dessert options were pretty limited just like one sorbet flavor when theres clearly ROOM on the menu for more plant based sweets”

“ngl finally found a place that doesnt hold back on heat!! korean spiced pork belly wiht kimchi that has real fermented funk adn gochujang that actually made me sweat”

“their spicy deviled eggs are basically just regular deviled eggs with paprika sprinkled on - where's the sriracha, jalapeños, any actual fire??”

“seriously thier fried chicken sadnwich is legit so goood - crispy coating juicy meat perfect pickle balance street food but elevated could honestly eat like three”

“took forever to get the servers attention for the check - we were ready to go but just sat there like fifteen minutes trying to flag someone down ugh”

“the restored koerber building is stunning - exposed brick, original hardwood, and those huge windows flooding natural light make every meal feel special”

“yo acoustics are terrible when its paacked tho - conversations just echo off those brick walls adn you cant even hear the person across from you during rush smh”

“the presentation is INSANE - duck confit came out with perfectly fanned vegetables and this glossy cherry gastrique that looked like a painting”

“lighting is too dim tho so you cant get decent food pics without flash which just ruins the natural look of it all”

“the dry aged ribeye was exactly what i neeeeded - perfectly char grilled with truffle mac adn cheese on the side that made me actually get why people care about fancy food idk”

“the brussels sprouts appetizer was way too fussy for me - shaved super thin and buried under microgreens and pomegranate that just confused everything”

“chocolate tart was a masterpiece - silky ganache with just a hint of sea salt in a crisp pastry shell. paired it with aged port and it was literally heaven on a plate. their dessert game is seriously impressive”

“tbh wine selection is extensiiive but its like all california bottles - would love more european stuff especially french wines to go with this sophisticated menu”
