I have been to this place couple of times. Recently, we had a date night and decided to come again. The welcome was quite nice, ambience cozy (all tables full and restaurant buzzing), the owner walking about and asking how things were going and waiters attentive and polite. I had a non-alcoholic pomegranate margarita and it was delicious. I'm giving 3 stars primarily for food quantity/quality ratio to prices and the predefined mandatory 20% service charge. We had two starters (arancini, sunchoke soup) - both very nice and comforting. We then ordered the braised shortribs and the pork - 49$ and 45$. Neither was bad, but I'd say I probably cook braised dishes better at home. Both bland, with relatively small quantity and cantina style presentation not adding up to the very high price of each. To finish, we had the double fudge dessert and to be honest I just don't understand. A restaurant that charges ~50$ per dish and then moves to 16$ dessert, serves a plain brownie with a safeway ice cream and some Hersheys type artificial chocolate sauce on top. It was nauseating - why not make at least the chocolate in the house? I was bummed cause I really looked forward to the dessert. Overall not bad, but for the price you certainly expect class and taste when it comes to food. If anything, they should hire a better chef and I think they got it. read more

My wife and I dined at Flea Street Cafe in Menlo Park on a Saturday night. It wasn't too busy, and our reservations made check-in easy. We chose to dine outside, which set a lovely mood for the evening. Our server, Anthony, was very attentive and provided excellent customer service, enhancing our overall experience. We started with the Bees Knees cocktail, which was refreshing and paired well with our meal, especially on a warm night. For appetizers, we had the Hokkaido Scallop Crudo and the Grass-fed Steak Tartare. The scallop crudo was interesting and delightful, featuring a unique pairing that was absolutely delicious. The steak tartare was equally amazing and flavorful. We also ordered oysters, which were a nice finish to our starters. For the main course, my wife had the pork chop, and I had the chicken. Both dishes were flavorful and beautifully plated. Our second drink, the Cucumber Cooler, was another refreshing choice that complemented our meals perfectly. For dessert, we enjoyed the Profiteroles and the Chocolate Lovers. The Profiteroles tasted like an elevated Snickers bar, while the Chocolate Lovers dessert was light, airy, and delicious. Overall, our experience at Flea Street Cafe was amazing. For anyone who loves dining out, I highly recommend this restaurant. Ignore the 1- and 2-star reviews; those people clearly don't know what good food is. read more

We came here for our anniversary dinner. Was fantastic, start to finish. The service was excellent - friendly and attentive. The cocktails were out of this world, and the food was amazing. We sat outside in a little nook with curtains to keep it warm and make it feel more intimate. Was really nice. read more

I visited to celebrate my first anniversary, but unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing. While the service was excellent, the food did not meet expectations. Out of the four dishes we ordered, only the trout toast was palatable. Normally, I have a low bar for food, but this was unacceptable. I appreciate their attempt to be creative, but combining watermelon, strawberries, and raw scallop was not a good idea. Edit from two stars to one star: Just got a private message from the owner, " Hongpu, I am writing you privately. You already let us know publicly how much you did not like Flea Street on OpenTable. We heard you, felt badly that we are unacceptable to you. Now, days later feel the need to do it again on Yelp. I wonder why? Clearly we are not your kind of restaurant and understand but why do you feel such a need to do it? Jesse Cool Owner " To answer your question, I had a poke bowl today that included scallops, which reminded me of how awful the scallops were at your place. I figured since I didn't receive any response on OpenTable, I should share my thoughts on Yelp, which is a more influential platform. Indeed, I got a reply within a few hours. However, the reply was more aggressive than constructive. The downgrade from two stars to one star is due to the way the owner handled this situation. read more

Experience: Anthony made us feel so comfortable from his pleasant humble demeanor, to his detailed descriptions of the dishes and desserts (which he made). We felt so well taken care of all evening. Thank you Anthony (and staff)! Food we liked best: - Appetizer: Sardine Toast - Main: Ricotta Gnudi with Morels - Dessert: Chocolate Lovers read more

Flea Street - Chocolate Lovers - New American Near Me - Menlo Park, California

We have eaten at Flea Street for more than 25 years. And always have loved it. We came for the halibut that was listed on the menu online the day before he made the reservation and when we came, they did not happen, This was a disappointing experience. First thing is that they did not seat us in the location in the back room that we desired. Saying that we could not be there at all, but others were seated there later. While some of the dishes were delicious, especially the roasted broccolini and the scallops, the portions seem smaller than ever, and we felt rushed between courses. There's no amuse bouche any longer. For dessert the ice cream was not good and the chocolate sauce was not warm and they double billed us for a scoop of ice cream. I would stay over the years the feeling has diminished from its original quiet, elegance . We are sorry to say this is the last time we'll be going to this restaurant . read more

Service :5/5 Food: 2.5/5 Read the extremely good reviews of the place so decided to come by. I should say I came here with the expectation of a greeeaaat meal. The food was extremely mediocre, nothing special at all- definitely not worth the hype. I don't see why I would ever return tbh. Ambience was whatever too, very homey, feels like a local spot. I can see why locals like it but if you were visiting the area I would not recommend coming here. For the same price in the area village pub is waaaay better. read more

Visit this restaurant with NO expectations and you will be surprised at the simple complex flavors that are created with the fresh foods here. Half of the experience is the atmosphere and the lovely staff and the other half are the unique menu and flavors of the dishes. The mixed drinks are fabulous, staff is incredibly attentive and the food is cooked to perfection. The lamb, Gnocchi, crab cakes, deviled eggs, oysters all stellar. read more

Things we loved the most about this place: - Easy parking - Nice intimate setting - Friendly and professional staff - Short ribs What caught us by surprise were prices, they list themselves as "$31 to $50 pp" on OpenTable when it's actually $125-150 pp. Cocktails were $20-$25 ea., wine by the glass was $20-$30 ea., appetizers were $20-30 ea., entrees were $30-45 ea. and desserts were $15+. Automatic gratuity of 23.6% regardless of your party size. A few dishes just got out of the fridge when we got them (eggs, cheesecake, etc.) which really reduced their flavors, it would have been nice to let them sit a few minutes at room temperature. The best part of the meal was our entrees, especially the Short Ribs ($45) which were delicious and perfectly cooked. We won't come back as we feel you can get a better value elsewhere, but this is a solid option if you're looking for a romantic evening without the fuss. read more

It was my fiancé's birthday and I wanted to treat her to a fancy dinner! She had this place on her list of restaurants to try and had gotten lots of recommendations for it. We made a reservation a few weeks before and it was fairly easy to make, although note that they are closed Sunday & Monday's and there's a cancellation fee per person if you cancel within 24 hours. When we arrived they had a small parking lot which was easy to get to. And everyone who greeted us was very friendly. We first started with drinks - she got a Lavender Lemon Drop and I got the Bees Knees, and let me tell y'all, those were some of the most superb drinks we have ever had. They brought out house made bread rolls and small veggie bites from their garden. Absolutely incredible flavors just from those, we knew the rest was going to be good. We ordered a small appetizer - Jesse's Purple Pig. Quite literally a purple (from beet juice) deviled egg that was amazing. Next, for the actual meal, she ordered the Risotto and I got the Hand-Cut Pasta "cacio e pepe". Both were spot on, rich in flavor. They were smaller portions but filling and we were stuffed after completely polishing off our plates. We debated whether or not we wanted dessert but in the end we opted out as we were too full. Since we were celebrating a birthday, they brought out a complimentary vanilla with olive oil ice cream. Perfect way to end our experience at Flea Street. With the check, instead of mints, they make homemade bite size fall muffins that were baked to perfection. Overall we had a great experience here. It is a splurge place for a special occasion but worth giving it a try! read more

The food here is always good, but Chef Bryan has really outdone himself with the Valentine's Week menu and taken things to the next level. The flavors are bold but harmonious. We absolutely loved every dish we had last night. The Valentine's menu goes through Sat if you can still pick up a reservation! read more

Complete garbage. Maybe the worst dining experience ever. Rude employees, sub par food, overpriced and way overrated.

Every once in a while, I realize that I haven't Yelped a place that I've eaten at MANY times. In the case of Flea Street, I hadn't even checked in during the twenty-plus years I've been going. Apologies, Jesse. My summary: This is a consistently very good restaurant. I can't remember ever having a bad dish here, let alone a bad meal. In fact, almost every dish I've had has been excellent. The buttermilk biscuits are crave worthy. Luckily you can buy a dozen to take home. The short ribs come with brussels sprouts, bacon, and beets -- AND horseradish creme fraiche. Yes, please. On the current Winter menu, there's the amusingly named Which Came First which has not just chicken and beet-pickled egg but bacon and blue cheese. It's been the standout fav of those I've gone with recently. The Beet Napoleon appetizer was an unexpected pleasant surprise and is a great representation of what Flea Street is all about. Beautiful presentation, complex pleasing flavors, and a generous portion. Definitely get this again. On a recent visit, I was in a fish mood so got the Mussel Stew as a starter and Pacific Coast Catch as a main. The stew was outstanding -- the Pernod added just the right odor and flavor. For an appetizer, it was a large number of mussels. The flavors didn't stand out as much on the main dish. Still a good dish but not remarkable. If you have room for dessert (and I rarely do), the carrot cake and turtle brownie are decadent. The cheese plate has a solid selection and well-sized portion. There's also Tin Pot ice cream. There's an extensive Menlo Park-priced wine list. Example: Flowers Pinot is $117. On the cocktail list, the Lemon Drop and Manhattan are both very good. Service is always friendly -- many make a point of trying to learn your name. I won't be long before I come back. read more

Good food & service, very consistent throughout the years. We like the idea of locally sourced ingredients very much.

We had the most wonderful dinner at this adorable restaurant. We came here because a friend was playing at the venue. It's pretty far from where I live- I sure wish I lived closer as I would like to try ALL the menu items! My friend had a cucumber cocktail that was both beautiful and delicious. For our dinners we both had the salmon- amazingly delicious. Crispy skin with chimichurri sauce on perfectly cooked fish served on a bed of orzo with veggies mixed in. I ate every single bite. And we had dessert too- my friend had the cream cheese cake, which she said was fabulous and I had the watermelon granita- with rosemary! So unusual and so delicious. What a marvelous way to end a meal. I thought our table outside was just lovely and our waiter was so thoughtful and so helpful. I have a food allergy- and the restaurant says it does not allow substitutions- but that does NOT mean they won't be allergy friendly. They were so helpful with my food allergy and I felt totally safe. I tried to order what I knew would be safe and the chef checked it for me- and I am so grateful. There is a nice parking lot in back (but it is small) and handicapped parking- a few spots- are available. We got there at 5pm- so parking was not an issue. Allow some time to find a space if you are coming later in the evening. My friend and I agreed we had a perfect evening here. We loved everything about Flea Street. read more

Service was great. Disappointed we didn't get a complimentary birthday dessert with a candle or anything. The sardines were Ok, the smoked trout was amazing and the halibut was good. Pana cotta was ok and Cupcakes were sweet. Bread was good but overall portions are small. Seems like a nice place for many affluent neighbors to frequent in the hood. read more

Cozy space, but the meal itself was seriously lacking. The bread/starter plate was a nice thought, but the bread was dry, the biscuits were soggy, and the bok choy chips were not crispy. For my main, I ordered a modified version of the Black Cod dish. The vegetables I received were dripping with oil and lacked flavor or basic seasoning. I'll excuse the lack of flavor since I was unable to try the uni butter, kombu dashi broth, or other accompaniments that typically come with the dish. However, the only flavor that was coming through was an unappetizing fishy taste. The piece of fish was tiny and most of its mass was the skin. My fellow dinner guests ordered the short ribs and the chicken pot pie. They gave the short ribs a hesitant 4/5. On the other hand, the pot pie was a 1/5... "A grocery store pot pie would have been better." This dish was a confusing attempt at fusion... a side of bland bok choy was paired with the lackluster, soupy pot pie. Service was mediocre -- our waiter was helpful in checking with the kitchen about which dishes could be prepared sans garlic due to my allergy, but she forgot about my hot water. The dishes are pricey, and, unfortunately, the quality does not justify these prices. We left the restaurant unimpressed and all agreed that we will not return. I left still hungry, and the bowl of oatmeal I had once at home was far better (and more cost-effective) than my meal here at Flea Street. It now makes sense to me why we were able to get a last-minute reservation here on one of the busiest nights of the year for dining out... read more

What a hidden gem! We were so impressed with the food here. We knew we were in for a treat when the bread came out and it was unusually good, with shaved butter - great ambiance vibes. We shared the smoked trout dip and the caesar salad - both were delicious and flavorful. The chips with the dip were homemade and especially thin. I had a fish in a panko breading and my husband had short ribs. The sauces were very flavorful and the dishes were cooked perfectly. We ordered a peach cobbler to share - it came with ice cream with a strong vanilla bean flavor. It was all delicious. The waiter told us it was only the second night on the menu but already the most popular dessert. As we were leaving, the owner came by and we chatted with her quickly - very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back. This was a solid cut above other places we've been, with excellent service as well. read more

After a disastrous dinner experience in RH rooftop in Marin, I'm back to civility and excellence tonight. We party of three were greeted warmly at the door. They did ask for proof of vaccine and ID but everything went well without incident. We did tried some cocktails and kicked start the dinner with some figure foods. Crab cake, brussel sprout and some spinach salad...all good. For main, my friends had the short ribs and they loved it. My black cod is a excellent dish. Fresh fish with some magical pumpkin purée and the crispy...thingie on top make a prefect dish!! Not really sure what they are but they are good contrast to the tender white meat. Job well done! Also want to thank Miguel for the jokes...lol read more

Modern American food. We went here after a friend recommendation and this place is so totally worth it. I had the goat cheese and beet salad with prosciutto chips that was creamy, crunchy yet sweet and earthy. The fried sardines reminded me of hot egg rolls with a crunchy fish in the middle. We ordered the braised short ribs that were sublime, cooked to perfection but not dried out not swimming in too much juice. I tried the vegetarian tasting menu but then all the rest of the good food caught up to me and I couldn't finish it. Oh well save it from breakfast. Ambience is warm. With muted lighting and bright lights on the stair steps so patrons don't stumble. Even the owner Jessie Cool was here tonight - a gracious warm lady. Service is very good and shout out to our waiter Miguel who reminded me of Dani Rojas in Ted Lasso! Same energy and sweetness! read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Flea Street this past week. I was there to celebrate a birthday. From the moment I walked into the restaurant I felt so happy and relaxed to be there! There were other guests at the restaurant however the tables are spaced out nicely and the restaurant is quiet so you can actually enjoy the friends/family you are with. On the table there was a card for the person celebrating a birthday -lovely touch that did not go unnoticed. The staff is kind and caring and eager to please. A couple in our party ordered cocktails-they were beautifully presented and apparently very delicious. We shared several of the salads which were very good and of course enjoyed the homemade biscuits and bread with the beautifully presented butter and added salt. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals-mussels, salmon with the orzo pasta and the pork chop. The food was delicious and presented in a very lovely manner. Flea Street is one of a kind! Thank you for what you do and how you do it! read more

I've been to this restaurant a dozen times over the last few years. It's upscale and a bit pricey, and sooooo worth it! I love this place. The service is impeccable, and the food is amazing. I'll keep coming back! read more

A symphony for the senses! Every dish was beautifully prepared and presented. The smell and taste of the ingredients really popped. An unexpected standout was the "deep chocolate" tart: it was rich and moist, with the right balance of saltiness and sweetness. Any other restaurant would have drowned the tart in cream, but here the bruleed banana was a nice complement. Service and pacing were excellent, though we benefited from dining on a quiet night. read more

I've loved Flea Street for years. Their dining room has always been quaint and the food always fresh and delicious. With Covid hitting, I imagine that it takes a tribe to serve their meals to the public via take out. We tried it on a whim one night because we were craving a "date night". Ordering was easy and online. We arranged a pick-up time, drove up, popped the trunk and they came out with our order and placed it in the trunk. The meal itself was phenomenal. Just like dining in the restaurant. Their compostableware was made perfect for all of the sides and main to be served. They utilized each slot so well. We even got the cocktails and it was delish! We'd love to visit if they ever do outdoor dining. For now, we will continue to support them through this! read more

My wife and used to frequent flea st cafe over 20 years ago and went back this evening to celebrate our anniversary. Quaint atmosphere, food was creatively prepared and presented. Service was AMAZING with wait staff attentive, cordial and seemingly always there just when we needed something. We had an amazing Caesar salad with tasty anchovies and a smoked trout appetizer which was good, although I loved the salad a bit better. We had gnocchi dish and pork chops which were delicious. For dessert we had a lavender honey shortcake which my wife loved. Our dinner with the included gratuity was about $275. Some might consider that a steep price. We don't eat out at super expensive restaurants but with the cost increases in food and labor, I don't think the price was unreasonable (for us). read more

TLDR Ideal Order: (App) Toast of the Moment - Which Came First (Chicken) - (Dessert) S'mores Tart Day 8/12/21 ~7:30. Reservations. No wait. Scoring Weight: 90% Food, 10% Other Worth a visit? Yes. If you order the right thing. Food: (2.5/5) Fresh Bread/Biscuits w/house-grown Veggies: Just okay. Average piece of sourdough. Small soft biscuits. Not enough butter. Veggies were small but fresh. Not quite Farmer's Market level. (4.5/5) Toast of the Moment: GOOD. Very crunchy and butter toast base. Thick & rich Ricotta. High quality Salami to offset the incredible sweet nectarines. The fresh fruit really brought it home. Great balance. Worth the $24. (4.5/5) Which Came First? (Chicken Entrée): GOOD. Probably the best dish on the menu. Huge tender pieces of chicken coated in a very crispy mochiko-style breading. Very buttery and rich vegetable mix with a soft egg yolk for even more decadence. Lemon sauce provided enough acidity to cut the fat. Just solid all around. Would recommend. (3.5/5) Marin Sun Farms Slow Braised Short Ribs: Okay. Standard short ribs in a mostly sweet terikayi-like sauce. Very standard. Came on a crispy potato hasbrown-like starch. Was a little under seasoned. A safe play. (4.1/5): S'mores Tart: GOOD. Incredibly rich/dense chocolate truffle base. Very salty graham cracker crust. Toasted marshmallows + a strong berry-based reduction. The sauce actually tasted like their base fruits. More than enough dessert for 2 people. Shared between 4 since it was so rich. (3.7/5) Mo's Peach Cobbler: Alright. Closer to peaches + cake + ice cream. Didn't really have a cobbler/pie crust. Not overly sweet. Best part was the vanilla ice cream. Not nearly as heavy as the S'mores tart but got the job done (2.5/5) Veggie Platter: SKIP. Eggplant tortellini had a nice al dente cook. Not too much flavor. Potato pancake + red sauce + chili pepper could have used more seasoning. The red pepper sauce looked tasty but was underwhelming. Vegetable mix was fine. Just standard roasted carrots & asparagus in butter. Tomato olive bruschetta + smoked mozzarella. Best thing on the platter. Didn't miss the meat at all. Would have preferred 4 servings of this. Not worth $40. Maybe the worst entree on the menu. Worth the price if you come in with the right expectations and order the right thing. Other: * Service was a bit slow. Time between finishing the dessert & signing the check took ~45 minutes. * Gender neutral bathrooms * Private parking lot. * 20% tip automatically included read more

Great meal. Nice food, unobtrusive service. Quiet enough for a conversation - the tables are a good distance apart. Parking out back.

A dining experience we will surely remember for a long time. The entire evening was very high class. From the moment we arrived at the door to being seated and through the entire meal, the staff attended to every aspect of our stay. Our meals were superb. Well presented and very delicious. From the appetizers to the deserts were amazing. The restaurant was impeccable and extremely comfortable. The chef graciously visited ours and other tables to make sure the food was to our satisfaction. We were blown away and can't say enough how delighted we were with the staff and the meal. We typically don't take pictures but here they are. read more

Last night my husband & I returned to Flea St & had a terrific dinner complete with delicious food, service & ambience.

Had dinner there this week for a relative's birthday. The food was outstanding. You can really tell the chefs love their work. Everything was super fresh and tasty. They provided a small lemon cake with a candle for the birthday - a wonderful gesture and it was divine! I'm giving only three stars because of 3 Cons: When we were seating the first thing the said to us was that this table was reserved in 2 hours so we'd better be done and gone my them. Excuse me?? This isn't a cheap diner. Way to set the mood! Even though it was said nicely it's something I've seen restaurants start to do and it's really off-putting. Please stop. The menu selection was pretty short and too pricey. There were like 5 entree choices and a few of them were pretty eclectic (which shortened the choices for the less adventurous). And there were a couple of "Holiday Luxuries" entrees that ranged from $100 - $200. I guess the venture capitalists keep them in business on the weeknights. The waiter didn't seem to really know the menu, even though it was super short. When we asked what cut was the chicken katsu was we were told "it was from the side to it's white and dark meat." Huh? And he really couldn't speak to the wines by the glass, even though that list was short as well. But he was really nice. All the staff were very pleasant. I'll go back again for a special occasion, AFTER I check the menu posted outside (it's different than the one online) read more

Ok I don't usually keep re-reviewing places I've been to multiple times, but I just need to make another plug for Flea Street. As things open up, so many restaurants have gotten rid of their outdoor dining, but Flea Street has maintained their beautiful outdoor setup. It was a cold and rainy night, and their patio/deck roof is completely water tight, and they have these amazing heat lamps that are right over your table, so I was surprisingly warm and comfortable! Of course, Jesse made a personal appearance to say hello and chat, which is always really nice. Highlights off the menu tonight: - Crispy fried oyster mushrooms: perfectly seasoned and just the right amount of breading, really highlights the mushrooms - Mushroom carbonara: generous on the mushrooms, served with fresh pasta and a runny egg yolk. This was a rich and hearty dish even though it was vegetarian - Cioppino: wonderfully intense seafood flavors and perfectly cooked seafood The scallops, short rib, and pork chop were also solid. All servers are masked, and proof of vaccination is required for both indoor and outdoor dining. Again, I just had to review again to point out how great their outdoor setup is, even in the middle of winter when outdoor dining is otherwise very unappealing at most other places. Please support Flea Street! read more

Super cozy outdoor seating with heaters. My dog was chilling like a boss! The beet stack appetizer was a winner for us! Homemade butter was so yumm! Major points for Veggie and vegan options. And drinks including the non-alcoholic ones were delicious! For mains we had the crab pasta and the miso cod. Both were fresh and delicious, though the pasta was a tad dry but still yummy. Do checkout the menu before you reserve as their menu keeps on changing. Overall, a cozy haven with great food, attentive and friendly service. Can't wait to come back! read more

If we didn't love Flea Street enough already... Not sure if you heard. It's like the end of the world out there. Kidding. Sort of. We stocked up on food and holy moly who I am with this cooking thing?? Been over a week of cooking every meal for me and my family of four. WHO AM I?? But we have been reading about all of these people losing their jobs and our beloved restaurants having to close their doors only a week after the shelter in place mandate so we thought we would start supporting our local businesses and ordering out. I emailed Flea Street yesterday morning to place an order for my husband and I. Got a call later in the afternoon and decided to throw in two pieces of their insane carrot cake because YOLO. The guy on the phone told me that because of the local community they were able to hire back a lot of their kitchen staff and were hoping to be able to hire back front of the house folks too. We were told to arrive at 7 for our order pick up. My husband went while I was doing the bedtime routine with the toddlers. He told me that everyone was keeping their 6+ feet distance from each other and waiting for their food to come out. After I took everything out of the bag I noticed the carrot cakes were missing. I called the restaurant and they apologized and offered to drop it off at our front door. They came 5 minutes later, rang our doorbell and left. If this isn't customer service I don't know what is?! Not to mention our dinner came with handmade hand sanitizer! We were already - but customers for LIFE. read more

I think this place is just okay, especially given the prices. TL;DR version: baked goods and desserts fantastic, food is okay - flavors tend to dissipate too quickly. What i ordered: - baby artichoke salad - fried oyster mushrooms - cornmeal scallops - toffee butter cake - martins donuts The bread to start was AMAZING. Homemade biscuits and rye bread, with delicious butter and strawberry jam. Baby artichoke salad was refreshing, but lacking flavor in my opinion. Mushroom fritters were seasoned well and pretty tasty, but the dip lacked significant flavor. Cornmeal scallops on the first bite were super tasty, but then the flavor dissipated rapidly. Both desserts were super yummy! read more

First of all, when we arrived they gave us time limit. I find it very concerning that the restaurant gave us a time limit to dine. This would definitely cause stress and anxiety, and would prevent us from being able to fully enjoy our meal. Dining out should be a time to unwind and relax, not feel rushed and pressured. Furthermore, it's disappointing the waiters were constantly interrupting our conversations. This would certainly detract from the overall dining experience and make it difficult to fully appreciate the food and atmosphere of the restaurant. In addition, the cocktail that I ordered was too spicy, but instead of replacing it, the restaurant simply added more mix. This is a sign of poor service, and shows that the restaurant is not willing to go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. Finally, it's a shame that we did not enjoy your meal at Flea Street Restaurant. Dining out is meant to be an enjoyable experience, and it's unfortunate that this was not the case for us. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant based on your experience. The time limit, constant interruptions, and poor service are not conducive to a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. read more

It's one thing to be a really good restaurant as far as food but it's another thing to be snobby about it. I sat at the bar by myself I'm a very friendly guy and nobody was interested in saying hello or asking how the food was. The bartender was offish. I went there once, and I'll never go back again. read more
