Eric Oliver: Get the fresh guacamole - worth it every time.

Max: Fresh seafood dishes and most dishes sized nicely for sharing. Highly effective use of crunchy garlic.
Jesse T: The smoked whitefish pizza is a delicious affront to traditional Italian food. With fried capers, mascarpone, dill, and an everything-bagel crust, it's easy to forget that you're eating a pizza.
Rheya Shano: Really really great! Cool ambiance, great service, and terrific food, all of the dishes we tried were great examples of creative combinations that work out beautifully!
