Wow! Not even sure how to begin. I came here this past weekend.. the boyfriend spoiled me by bringing me to the Foie Gras week and we both split the 11 dish foie flight.. the night began with a yummy warm popover... then we started with the Seafood Maison, then followed it by the Kobe Beef Sashimi (amazingly melt in your mouth!) and then the foie dishes.... part way thru, the boyfriend got steak envy so we ordered a 55 day aged 20oz bone in ribeye to split (which came with yummy asiago truffle fries) and ended the night with a yummy rhubarb pineapple crisp.. the whole meal was paired with delicious wines suggested by them :]
Amazing food, amazing service :] LOOOOVE it!!!

I also ordered sashimi. Hamachi, Salmon, Scallop & Tuna. Classics. The hamachi was really dark (I don't remember the coloring being that way) but really really thick cut. The scallop was really dry.. which is strange, I've always had silkier scallops, but they were good.
My fellow japanese food lover got a spider roll & a crazy roll (lover of the fried foods) I didn't try any but she raved about how amazing they were!
We left with more than 100$ out of our pockets, happy from a yummy meal, but I was still starving...

OMG this place was so delicious. I came here for brunch and I got the S'mores espresso drink and the buttermilk pancakes with their homemade pb and chocolate sauce and chantilly sauce. OMG. SOOO GOOD. The pancakes were super filling and grainy... not sure what else they added to it but it tasted thick, yummy and even slightly.. healthy tho heavy at the same time. I also shared the granola w/ dried fruits, jam and granola with the boyfriend (who got the french toast w/ rhubarb sauce) I even had a few sips of his Chai Latte (which he claims to be the best chai latte EVER... and I must say DELISHHHHH!!!!!)
But what this place REALLY gets props for is the fact that it's the FIRST place I've had goat cheese and actually enjoyed it. the goatcheese artichoke dip was ordered at the table and me, not being a fan of goat cheese, actually enjoyed the bite of the spread on some yummy crusty bread.. so thumbs up!!!!!People thought this was:

I love the feel... it's very Italy-esque with the warm space.. delicious aromas in the air, friendly waiters... and fellow customers :]
I guess the owner knew we were "foodies" from all the non-typical food items we ordered...... he was super sweet and actually gave us "special" olive oil to drizzle on our food and salumi and a special something something "XX" drink afterwards. Even a complimentary truffled pecorino and poached pear.
My favs of the night were.. omg, ALL OF IT.. but if I had to choose.. the grilled octopus... the garganelli, pancetta & tomato ragu, homemade ricotta.... (which has trotters in it) andddddddd... their pasta is cooked to perfection and so fresh and delicious. PERFECT proportions!!! (my biggest rant @ italian american places is WAY too much food... and WAY too much sauce.. here it's perfectly balanced.. it's the PASTA that's the star of the show and it's accented by the perfect amount of delicious sauce...) omg their specials are amazing. fried anchovies were amazing. THE GOAT!!!!! their yogurt/honey dessert.. oh me oh my!!!

had the crab artichoke fondue as a starter.. and it was so delicious. i love gooey cheese.. and this was great.. not too overwhelming.. the toasts it came with were crunchy and super tasty on their own.
me + boyfriend's brother both got the kona crabs. he got it spicy chili style and i got it ginger/scallion style. his was just steamed with chili sauce on the side, but mine?! ASIAN STYLE AND SOOO PERFECTION. i was sharing it with everyone and everyone was a fan. DELISH!!!
sidenote: boyfriend's awesome dad got steak envy and actually got a piece from a neighboring customer and we all had a bite. delish! boyfriend got steak envy too.
which comes to the bad part of the night. boyfriend was NOT happy with his scallops. he got sauteed scallops but they were BREADED!!!! :[ who BREADS scallops?!?! breaded scallops in general should be an offense.. but at least fried is understandable.. but sauteed?!?!?! :[ sigh... scallop fail. but from what he says the scallops were cooked right on the inside.. just flavorless due to the breading... it didn't look too appealing to me tho, too much sauce...
the cheesecake at the end of the night was really good :]
