IrmaZandl ZandlSlant: Excellent cocktails.loved the southside with gin and cucumber. Get here early, later it gets way too crowded and LOUD.
Cole Kennedy: Try the Dirty Look, a refreshing cocktail made with gin, lemon, blueberries, and bitters.

Nick Andlinger: Fantastic. Tuna poke, spicy squid tacos (actually spicy and perfect), and fish of the day were all on point. Surprised at how good it was. Loved the cucumber mint and gin cocktail.
Katie VanLangen: The Poke bowl and Coconut Lemongrass soft serve were incredible. I could come back and eat them everyday. Try the agua fresca with gin.

John Michael: Get the tasting menu and speak to the somm about New Zealand wines. You won't regret it. Also: gin cocktail for two for one is the correct way to start a meal.
naveen: that New Zealand deer with onions and mandarin.
Mari: The steak and cheese pie is delicious. It's a deconstructed version that is basically just a delicious, tender filet with roasted vegetables and cheese foam (or something).

Seth Terpstra: The Mountaineer (gin cocktail) is super good and unique with a fresh sorrel puree in it. The Mussels were great, all the dishes had light, flavorful sauces. Ask for extra bread to soak them up!
Elizabeth Iriz: Stellar flavors and presentation. Highly recommend the charred calamari, mussels, burrata but the steak tartare with sunchoke was a stand out dish!
Jon Steinback: If you want your date night to match President Obama and the first lady's (who were here on Sept 24, 2014), you should order burrata with salsa verde, endive salad, cherry tomatoes, and croquettes. Read more.

Dara Sulayman: Authentic and modern Thai food , great cocktails and the green curry snails are a must !
The New Yorker: "On a menu full of earthy curiosities—like ... a smoked-catfish-and-pork spread that sounds horrible but tastes wonderful as a dip for market crudités—adventure is its own reward." Read more.
Noah Weiss: The banana leaf salad is the best Thai dish in the world you haven't eaten. Get your spicy pants on because this will light you up -- or get a beer slushy.
