Going to dinner there with some people tomorrow night and wanted to get the boards thoughts, menu looks good and has some different items.

TIA

I love it. Have 5 or 6 times since they first opened and it's better every time I go .. a sign of a solid restaurant IMO. Don't neglect the meats and charcuterie, it's fantastic. Very interesting small plates and entrees as well.

I'm a fan. It's a very "comfortable" feeling place. The food and atmosphere are very quality without feeling pretentious or like they're trying to be something they are not.

The food menu really is diverse, and both times I went I found everything I ordered to be quite tasty. I've avoided the scallops so far; seeing multiple people order them and instagram them kinda turned me off. Seemed like too much novelty. But I can be unnecessarily judgmental.

I love it.

I consider it elite. But that's just me.

Go with the correct expectations.

I went the first time and expected to be blown away. Not that kind of place.

As stated, their charcuterie is the strength of the restaurant. IMO

Good place. Interesting. My only complaint is that he sometimes can be too "gimmicky". Food's good, though.

Great place. Have been 3 times.

Make sure you ask your waiter for advice, etc. I found the menu to be quite confusing and the waiter can help guide you if needed.
