Now my review reflects the service and fresh seafood not the lunches they serve but I hear that they are pretty good. Every time I go here the service is great. The person working is friendly and knowledgeable about the seafood they carry. They even will take the extra step like sorting out the bad mussels before weighing them. The store is small and has a lot of Italian decor with the aroma of a true fish market. It is the type of place that actually takes me back to a time when I used to shop at places like this with my father instead of the large chain grocery stores. So, to wrap up if you're looking for some fresh seafood or a hot meal I would recommend popping in to see if they have what you're looking for.

I could not be happier with my experience at Mink. I came with my son for mother's day and didn't…read morereally know what to expect. When I walked in and saw the tiny space I was charmed. There was a 2 top table at the back that we were seated at - we could have sat at the bar also - and it was a great spot. We ordered the tasting menu and WOW, every course was amazing. I'll post pics because the presentation was gorgeous for each item. They have a small cocktail and wine and beer selection, but that was fine. My son got their Shrub Mocktail and I got the Shrub with Sake. Both were delicious and so interesting. I can't pick a favorite item because they were all so good, but the Torched Mackerel and Poached Bosc Pear were tied for #1, followed by the Salmon, Oysters and the crazy good Blood Orange dessert. The shrimp toast was just ok for me, not bad, just not as good as everything else. Additionally the service was outstanding. For a tiny place they did everything right. They explained each course, brought out fresh utensils for every course - YEA! - and made sure we had good pacing. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly and enhanced our meal. I really want to come back and try the oysters and some of the tinned items. I'm so excited I found Mink and will be back for sure.

We also decided to go back yesterday for happy hour and sat at the bar and Brynn and Kelsey provided the best service I have had in a long time. They made the best martinis and were so fun and friendly! Our friends were celebrating their anniversary and we all had such a great time talking with them. I mentioned that we didn't a candle with our dessert the week before and they surprised us with pistachio gelato with a candle! It was so thoughtful and we were so thankful for the surprise! We definitely will be back for the happy and the great bar service!

Yelp considers 3-Stars to be Okay. This visit was a bit better than just okay, but not worthy of…read morefour stars. We arrived at 6:24 for a 6:30 resv and were immediately seated. My first impression: Noisy! Lots of hard surfaces. Difficult to hear the hostess, server and my wife. The tables were appropriately spaced for diners and servers to work with no bump & grind. We started by sharing a dozen oysters and the pear/walnuts salad. The oysters were a bit small-ish; but otherwise, excellent. Server took a drink order from my wife, but skipped me. Eh? I flagged down another server to order a Pino. It took a surprisingly long time to arrive. On the plus side, I was offered a taste to insure it was satisfactory - it was. The pear salad w/walnuts was excellent. The pears were sliced paper-thin. One of the joys of eating a properly ripened pear is the juicy explosion and thinly sliced pears defeat the juicy explosion. If the pears were fully ripe, perhaps cube them? Weirdly; the two sides (mushrooms, potatoes) were served before the entrees. The server noticed, seemed surprised and withdrew the sides, returning with our entrees (lamb shoulder, steak). Then the side returned. Both entrees were warm-ish and the sides were hot. The 14-day, dry-aged steak was ordered medium-rare and was seasoned and prepared as ordered. Again; warm-ish, not hot. I expected better beefy flavor for a dry-aged steak. One end was a bit chewy. Tenderness improved as I got to the other end of the steak. I ordered it with horseradish. I will admit to being a weirdo who loves spicy horseradish (and wasabi) that will clean the sinuses - this was "Ohio-spice'd" horseradish ... not creamy, but less spicy than Arby's Horsey sauce. The mushroom and the potato sides were served hot from the kitchen. Both were excellent, no complaints. The presentation of the steak needs improvement. It was a properly prepared, lonely lump of brown, served on a white plate with cracked ceramic glaze. The lamb shoulder was the better entree. For some reason, my wife was expecting Middle Eastern seasoning. The menu did not mention Middle Eastern seasoning and she did not ask, so that's on her, not the kitchen. I thought it was excellent. Gripe: After the entrees arrived, our server did not return to ask if the entrees were satisfactory. She did return later to ask if we wanted a second round of drinks. We did ... We were offered dessert and ordered, but never asked if we wanted coffee or an after dinner drink. Both desserts were excellent. Will we return? Probably ... not. With tip; dinner for two was $286. At this price point I expect better: Less noise, better beef and flawless service.

We decided to stop by for a late lunch over the weekend and as we walked in, we found the restaurant to be pretty empty, with only one other party eating. After we picked a table and sat down, the waitress came over and spread a sheet of plastic on top - I believe Yemeni food is traditionally communal and eaten with the hands, so it helps to contain any mess. While the waitress wasn't able to answer all of the questions that we had (and we had a number of them, given that we aren't too familiar with this cuisine), she was very friendly and patient while we were trying to determine what to order. We went in with the express intent of getting the fahsa, and then yielded to her recommendation for the second dish. Lamb Broth (Complimentary) - Rich, savory, spiced and warming. Just a tad bit of lamb gaminess with small shreds of meat at the bottom of the bowl. Salad (Complimentary) - Mixed chopped salad of lettuce, tomato, red onion, and red cabbage. The diced tomato has all of the seeds taken out so it doesn't make the salad watery. There's no dressing added; instead, they give you a slice of lemon that you can squeeze on top to give some fresh and aromatic acidity. I never would have thought to use straight lemon juice as dressing, but it works surprisingly well. Fahsa ($17.99) - Like all other fahsa, this is served piping hot and bubbling in a stone pot. The fahsa is fantastic, with deeply savory shredded lamb mixed with just a tiny bit of tomato and other vegetables. We didn't request it, but the waitress gave us hilba on the side since she wasn't sure if we would like it or not. And yes, we did try it by itself before dumping and mixing it into the meat. The hilba, made of fenugreek mixed with herbs, is slimy and gooey, almost like a blended okra. The taste is quite earthy and a bit vegetal. I don't think it's something I would ever eat by itself, but it mixes perfectly into the fahsa, adding nice herbal notes to counteract some of the fattiness of the meat. (5/5) Chicken Mandi w/ Rice, Half ($16.99) - The half chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender, like it's been slowly cooked for hours upon hours. The spice mixture lends a fiery red color to the skin and seeps into the meat, giving an orange hue on the interior. The chicken is served on a large bed of rice. Half of it is brown colored, with a deep cardamon and cinnamon taste, and the other half is a yellow rice that's spiced pleasantly, but not nearly as much as the brown. The yellow rice is mixed with sultana, adding a burst of fruity sweetness. Both are perfectly cooked, fluffy with an al dente bite. We find that a lot of places don't give nearly enough rice for the amount of meat - here they give you more than enough. Even the heaviest carb lover should be satisfied. (4/5) Rashush ($2.99) - This thing is massive, probably something around 20+ inches across and is served fresh right from the oven/tanoor. It has some very distinct layers that are able to flake off and tastes slightly buttery. The thinner areas are crisped up from the heat of the oven, while the thicker layers are more chewy resembling a texture of a nice pita. It's sprinkled with nigella seeds, giving the bread a rich earthiness. Overall super delicious and the perfect vessel for the fahsa and mandi. We saw another table get the double rashush and holy cow is that thing huge. I'm talking like 2.5 or 3 feet across. I have no idea how they cook a flatbread that big. (5/5) Everything is served with sahawig, which in this instance is served unmixed, with the bottom layer a salsa-like chopped tomato mixture, and a topping of what seems to be blended jalapenos. Quite spicy, but adds a nice fresh herbal taste to all the food. As we ate over about an hour, the restaurant started getting more and more full - in fact by the time we left, it was almost completely full, with additional people waiting in front of the register to pick up takeout orders. One thing we noticed was that there was one party of only women, and they had a folded screen door blocking their view from the rest of the tables (the other tables were men only). I wonder if that's a cultural thing? We found the food at Aldaar to be exceptionally delicious, and were especially impressed with the massive rashush. We will be back in the future to try more of the offerings - I'm especially looking forward to the maloog and rateb breads on the menu. Bathrooms - Two individual rooms, one for men, one for women. The women's room has a changing table. Note: As with most other more traditional restaurants in the area, they do not have ice water on tap. Pay for bottled water/drinks only.
