We had heard about this place and were anxious to try it. The only reservation they had available was 9:30 and one a little later, on a Saturday night. We didn't want to eat too late so we went with 9:30. From the start, we were made to feel like that was a mistake even though that was an option offered by the restaurant. They were out of two dishes, which we understand happens, but then they were also not doing the tasting menu. They said they only do about 17 per night, unless you reserve them online. They ask that you book through Resy, which doesn't say anything about reserving a tasting menu. On the menus and on the website it doesn't say you need to reserve a tasting menu online. So we were a little shocked and disappointed. We were told it was because the kitchen was too overwhelmed when people ordered the five course tasting menu. So if you go, I hope you're one of the lucky 17!

It was this that made it feel like we were being rushed and by making a 9:30 reservation, we'd made a mistake they only the restaurant knew was a mistake. The food came out way too quick. It was lukewarm at best. There was little flavor. The pistachio dip and hollandaise sauces on the plates maybe has the most taste. Even the sourdough bread and butter was bland. The plate I was served on had a large crack on the side with a very noticable missing piece. It looked sloppy and uncared for. I don't know if that's the case with the food or just because it was a later reservation. Again, if the kitchen doesn't want to cook and they don't want to serve people past a certain time, don't make those reservations available. Before we finished our meal we were told that the kitchen was wondering if we want to order dessert. Presumably so they could just close up and go home, but I've never been asked that way before. I get it people want to go home after a long day. But we didn't ask for the 9:30 reservation. It was something that they had on their website. We ordered dessert which probably was the best part of the meal, though that doesn't mean much. The staff was already gathering to go home while we finished our dessert, adding to the pressing feeling we just were not welcome or wanted there. Part of going out to a place like this is being a le to enjoy and soak in the experience. There wasn't much to take in, and we left feeling disappointed and unwelcome. Save your money and go somewhere else.
