Description
The kitchen delivers distinct dishes like crab fried rice lava and fresh corn salad, alongside mains like branzino and a sweeter-leaning pad Thai. Inside, the stylish room is often loud and tight, with tables packed closely together, though the staff keeps service attentive. Reservations are generally easy to secure, and the menu rounds out with happy hour specials and Basque cheesecake.
