  “ An employee seated us promptly. Our waiter did not introduce himself nor review the menu. Our orders were delivered promptly & correctly. The dishes were arranged neatly on their plates & the sauces were applied artfully. The house soup was hearty & flavorful, with bits of freshly grilled chicken & a bit too much chili powder. The quality of the steak & pork in the soft tacos was average, at best. The space was warm & homey. Ben & June led Sakura and I in a lively & wide-ranging discussion the legal and financial services industries, the Roman Polanski case and contemporary U.S. politics. ”
- Ben Schaechter
  
  “ The restaurant was very enjoyable. Very inexpensive entrees that werevwell prepared. The drinks were really overpriced. $11 for a 12 oz frozen margarita in a untrendy place? As usual, the wild conversation was the best part. Topics ranged from polanski to real estate closings to ot/drugs and then politics. ”
- June
