Gorgeous space and great service, but the ramen was extremely salty! Of all the desserts, the key lime pie was best. Skip the tres leches and ube basque cheesecake

Great food and atmosphere.

Food and drinks were phenomenal. That said, we were told the wait would be about an hour (busy Saturday night), but we ended up waiting 2 hours and 10 minutes for our table. Once we got in, we were very happy, but that kind of wait time discrepancy is totally unacceptable. After an hour had passed, I asked how much longer we could expect to wait, and they said we were next up. We watched them seat several other parties as we waited yet another hour. It’s a shame because I loved the food and drinks, but the insane wait time discrepancy will probably be the reason we avoid this place moving forward. (Update: been here a couple more times, and while the wait is still insane, I’m adding another star. Just be there before they open)

Food & service is ALWAYS great!

Best place in Irvington to get a drink or a delicious meal.

Great oysters and cocktails and ramen! Brought out of town friends here and they thought we were super cool for taking them to such a great place.

Atmosphere is wonderful. It’s warm and fun. Service is ok but very slow. Food took around 45 minutes to get to us after waiting for about that long to be seated and was extremely bland. We got the tonkatsu and the pork was dry and unseasoned, the noodles were hard, and the broth was unpleasant. Drinks were fine but overpriced for what they were. Just overall not worth the price or wait.
