Squid ink spaghettini is amazing and can be made spicy since it uses red curry. For a party of two, ask for it to be split into two bowls.

Try the Squid Ink Spaghettina ( I just died ) So good! The staff is very professional and helpful. Good vibes, coziness, style and, of course, outstanding food - what can be better?

Squid ink spaghettia is insanely good. Don't expect Italian pasta, it's more like ramen, and really really good ramen. Oh also the uni flan is pretty good but they don't give a lot.

One of the few places you can make a reservation for weekend brunch. Deviled eggs are amazing. Spicy Bloody Mary's, great French toast. The standard breakfast fares like bacon and eggs are mediocre.

The small plates menu features many recent additions, such as festive and picturesque Ika-Yaki, grilled squid in a spicy bean and smoked bacon soup with house-smoked yuzu kosho butter. Read more

Uni flan is delicious. Not fishy at all, very fresh. Wait staff and chefs are all exceptional, very knowledgeable about the food. Atmosphere/decor is perfect for conversation throughout dinner.

More than just “dog friendly”! They love dogs and dog parents. If you bring your dog, they’ll set you up with the Yappy Hour menu where you can have appetizers half price. 🐶

Beautiful outdoor seating area for brunch on a sunny day. Get the Squid Ink Spaghettina always. Incredibly fresh shrimp and pasta in a super savory, medium spicy seafood broth/sauce.

Bloody Mary is great. $1 oysters are totally worth the buck. But the lobster omelette was horrible!!! Seemed microwaved. Fun for trying new and interesting seafood.

Uni flan, raw fish sampler platter $22 and whole trout with crispy curry spiced skin $25

About the brunch: the french toasts are very juicy and the mascarpone with berries (blended) makes it perfect!

Uni flan is delicious! Drinks are well made. Don't bother with the sashimi sampler. Friendly staff.
PaulinaSeptember 11, 2015
Solid Japanese-inspired, Asian fusion tucked away in the Design District. A little price-y, but your belly will thank you. Go for everything raw.

If you're into cocktails, you GOTTA try the Winning Ticket. This baby is all alcohol.. None of that juice ish! You'll feel the buzz after a couple of sips.. Kinda sneakers up on ya.
Guilherme ChapiewskiSeptember 13, 2012
Want some wine? Try the "Cardella", a local family-owned production that (it seems) is known by the restaurant owner. Very exclusive and tasty.
Ken BergerFebruary 10, 2013
Great atmosphere and excellent fish-based food. Nice big outdoor deck for nice days. And $4 mimosas for brunch. Langoustine Omelette (brunch menu) was wonderful.
Clement NgAugust 16, 2014
Great little seafood modern cuisine tucked away in the middle of nowhere. There is also a nice outdoor patio area with great ambiance.
Chad BFebruary 13, 2013
First time here and started with their smoked salmon flatbread (a meal in itself). For the main course: Rock and Scallop Risotto was delicious and hearty.
Paul ArkApril 8, 2011
The decor, ambiance, service, and food are wonderful. The U-10 scallops are insanely good, and the crab cakes and crostini are pretty damn tasty. Definitely worth making this place a regular hang-out
AskMenJanuary 27, 2011
It’s where the cool kids go after work for a drink & a bite of tasty Japanese-inspired dishes like cod & goat cheese flatbread, fried baby eryngii mushrooms & Hokkaido scallops. Read more

The place is beautiful! And the food is great! Highly suggest it! Also there is an amazing outdoor seating
jonathan gettingerJune 17, 2012
Their special menu is woven with Asian-inspired dishes like a house-cured salmon croque madame with arugula, yuzu mustard, mozzarella, parmesan and a runny, poached egg.
Ruth JohnsonJuly 6, 2017
Uni flan and tuna tartar are out of this world. Plus lovely team of people working there! Highly recommend.
GusMay 20, 2015
Nice patio and friendly service! Confirmed: Squid Ink Spaghetti is merely fantastic!
Elizabeth BursteinMarch 31, 2017
Came here after real estate meeting. Looks amazing but wasn't in mood to wait line. Get a reservation for next time!
lindsay m.October 30, 2011
Super dog friendly patio and awesome staff. Bring your pup and try the fried baby eryngii mushrooms! Great wine, beer and cocktail selection, too.
SabinaJanuary 23, 2016
Try the black cod and you won't regret it! The flavors and textures just mix so well together
Runqiu CaiJune 19, 2016
Excellent seafood restaurant. The uni flan is amazing
Lillian YoungDecember 18, 2014
Great Japanese inspired food. Try Squid Ink Spaghettina, savory and spicy. Order a few dishes to share and go family style.

If it isn't already sold out, order the uni flan with extra toasted bread.
AuOctober 25, 2013
The Niçoise salad is awesome!! Try one of their specialty drinks e.g., basil lemonade

Squid ink spaghettini. Shishio peppers. Seasonal watermelon wheat beer. Fries with awesome aioli sauce
David HuApril 24, 2016
Get the fanciest sounding fish with an order of uni flan
Dylan HarringtonSeptember 24, 2016
The Skool Fries were great but the fries that came with the burger were a little over powering.

Great brunch scene. Dog friendly patio. Solid cocktails.
Mike WalshAugust 6, 2010
They still don't have a liquor license so bring your own stuff - no corkage. I really like the owner and staff. They do not have sushi (I assumed they did) but the food is excellent.
Rosanne ChanFebruary 15, 2014
squid ink spaghettina was everything a delicious asian-fusion dish should be, so goooooood.

Happy Hour M-F from 5pm-7pm. $3 beers (Pilsner Urquell!), $5 wines and most bar bites for under $5 (Shisito Peppers and Skool Sliders).

You have to get the uni flan!

Squid ink spaghetti is great, calloquet not so good. Good service
Tessa MacDuff PupiusJune 5, 2015
Was very accommodating to my moms group (including 4 strollers!) but we were a little disappointed that the bathrooms do not have changing tables.
JoAnne KaoJuly 14, 2013
Try the Shishito Peppers With Fish Flakes - Fav must try
AliciaOctober 26, 2014
Brunch! $1 oysters on the half shell. The jerk chicken and waffles are amazing.
Gadi ShamiaJanuary 22, 2013
Beet salad and cured fish (both small plates) made a great dinner together.
