Amazing atmosphere with beautiful decor that could easily be in the city. Super large seating area perfect for dates. There's also an outdoor area that some families were sitting out. Surprisingly, the bathroom was something that was super memorable. There's a communal area with a vanity table and a diaper changing pad. For families, what's super nice is that if you need people from both genders to help out, you can! El Camino: tastes just like an old fashioned, tasty but not special Wind fall: much sweeter than anticipated. The matcha notes are subtle and couldn't taste any celery. Roasted beets: Super flavorful and enjoyed the different spices and textures of the toppings. Quite sizeable as well. Would order again. Maitake mushrooms: The whipped ranch sauce was delicious and the mushrooms were fantastic as well. Would order again. Charred cabbage salad: Tasted like an Asian chopped salad and couldn't appreciate the charred flavors. I would probably try another salad. Squashio E Pepe: The pasta had a nice al dente flavor and really enjoyed the black pepper! It was a dish that I missed having a bacon/pancetta component Pear curry: It was recommended by our server and I have very mixed feelings about it. The flavors were nice, but It really felt like someone ate all the main ingredients and just left the remaining sauce with some veggies. The sauce to ingredients ratio was lopsided and it's a dish that would have been better served in a bowl as the curry as it's quite watery. Wouldn't order again in its current form. read more

I've been to Twelvemonth separately for dinner, happy hour, and drinks. Their happy hour menu is pretty sparse across food and drinks, and the prices aren't reflective of what you'd expect for happy hour. For example, their happy hour cocktails are $14 each, which is the regular price of cocktails at other places. I understand Twelvemonth is located in downtown Burlingame and is decorated nicely, but I don't think you get great value for money here. The food we ordered during happy hour was also mediocre and overpriced. Worst of all, an item we ordered never came; when we flagged someone down after 45 minutes of waiting, they didn't apologize and just said the kitchen was busy when it was obvious that our order was never placed at all. I also came to Twelvemonth separately for drinks. What's nice about the bar side of Twelvemonth is that they have 2 rooms on the side for additional seating. When we went, the main room was pretty full but the side rooms were empty, so we grabbed a table and pretty much had the entire space to ourselves. Service continues to be a miss at Twelvemonth, though. Since we were the only party in the room, employees never came to check on us. We literally had to stare at the doorway and try to flag a server down whenever someone walked past. Also, when our server brought us our drinks, he spilled a good portion of my friend's drink on the table while he was putting it down. He apologized but didn't clean it up, never came back to clean it up, and didn't bring us any napkins, so we sat there with a wet table for the entirety of our time. I think it's nice to have a fancier spot to drink in Burlingame, but across service, quality of food/drink, and value for money, I think Twelvemonth is a big miss. read more

*I have rounded up this review because Twelvemonth does NOT impose any surcharge or nonsense junk fee on their menu - a decision that is worth praising.* I've done a fair bit of experimenting with plant-based food in and around Northern California, and i've yet to find any plant-based restaurant that "hits" like it should. Twelvemonth gave it a noble shot, but I still feel like it came up short. First, the good. The restaurant is certainly beautiful, and outside of a few hiccups with our server - who was brand new, so i'm not holding anything against her - the service was attentive without being overbearing. The campanelle pasta was delicious, as was the tea party salad. It doesn't get more adorable than their pudding dessert, served in a little flowerpot with chocolate-hazelnut "dirt" and a tiny shovel as a spoon. My drink, the Sakura Blossom, was tasty and strong. I feel like many plant-based restaurants make the same mistakes - they rely far too much on deep frying or carbs, and they try so hard to appeal to meat-eaters that the plant-based aspect is compromised. Much of the Twelvemonth menu for lunch is just that - fried or loaded with carbs. Plant-based food doesn't necessarily need to be healthy, but I would appreciate more variety in terms of preparation. The crispy maitake mushrooms were VERY crispy and felt like they were missing a flavor backbone besides the dense tempura batter - the dip with them wasn't amazing either. The korean "chicken" sandwich suffered from a dense bun that made gripping the sandwich difficult - the contents of the sandwich wouldn't stay put and was constantly being squeezed out. The flavor was nice enough, but a softer bun would have vastly improved the sandwich. I did specify a birthday on my reservation, and nothing was done for it nor was it acknowledged, so that was disappointing. Myself and my companion both did the $50 prix fix weekday lunch, and I felt that it was an okay value given the price. Overall, I would say Twelvemonth is worth trying once, but I am still on the hunt for a plant-based venue that truly "hits." read more

I personally did not want to give this restaurant low stars I had such high expectations, the ambiance is extremely nice. They have state of the art facility with beautiful chandeliers, seating that is one of a kind with velvet light blue seating. Extremely instagram worthy and worth a try. The bar itself is genuinely so cool and the bathroom and facility is just unlike any other in Burlingame. Our waiter was very kind and helpful and honest. Definitely helped point us in the right direction with wine and food option. Great service. However, the food did not meet the expectations I had. I was very excited to have a vegan option in the area being lactose intolerant. Drinks: 5/5 their mixed cocktails are delicious. We got the birds of paradise and the mas o menos mock tail and it was delicious. Vegan paella: 3/5 I was surprised they got a perfect socarrat and the veggies and tomato sauce was very yummy. I would say this was the best dish of the night. Although it just isn't a paella and doesn't come close to beating it out. Found a hair in our paella :/ Crème bule: 2/5. Was not flavorful and mixed temperatures throughout. Lacked flavor. Spacciopepe: 2/5. I could make this at home. Too salty. Nothing special. Beats: 3/5 the sesame seed crunchies on top was delicious. Without this the beats would be a little more simple and there wasn't a lot of yogurt. Almost wish there was some lemon on the beets. Fried cookie dough: 5/5, not overly greasy and extremely tasty. Perfectly melted chocolate combined with a light crunch. Staff was amazing though our waiter was great. I would definitely come back for the drinks and ambiance. I will say the food tasted healthy and didn't feel gross or super greasy, it settled very nicely in my stomach. read more

Second time here for wifes birthday. First time was just at the bar having drinks and appetizers. First visit felt like the better experience as a more casual experience with good drinks Formal sit down dinner was spacious and had nice atmosphere. Food came a little slow. The bread was amazing, so soft and flavorful Squacchio e Pepe was creamy, chochoyotes had nice flavor. Would not recommend the rice pudding. Flavor was a little too potpourri and texture was not great read more

I've been here multiple times - mostly the bar and only once in the main dining room. But having just been back and only having the bar happy hour menu, I'm remembering why my bf and I don't come here more often. The menu is extremely small for the happy hour which is between lunch and dinner service. It changes seasonally which can be good so you have a variety but from our experience only the bah mi and crispy maitake mushrooms was worth the price. This time I tried the Korean fried chicken patty and honestly was very let down for ~$19 considering it was just the sandwich (and it was a brand name patty) with no fries/etc. being vegan you learn to cook and when you go out your expectation especially at a vegan restaurant is to have different from what you can make at home. The drinks were good - flavorful and unique. What really was disappointing and stood out this time was the service. We sat at the bar and multiple servers walked past without acknowledging us for much longer than should happen when it is mid afternoon and slow. Once we did get going on drinks and food order it did come out quickly which was nice but the attitude from the bar worker was so unfriendly and uninterested. They didn't seem like they wanted to be there. We left hungry and disappointed as it is a gorgeous restaurant that has a lot of potential. Maybe it's just the bar at happy hour that sucks but for a mid/higher end vegan restaurant that has a huge bar space you'd expect a lot more from them. I recall the main dining space having great food and options (albeit the service was slow but we came when they had first opened). But the bar seems to be such a disappointment. Not sure I can convince my bf to go back there since we drive from quite a ways to go there. read more

Food was great but overall, the restaurant lacked in service. We went for a friend's birthday and there was six of us. We all shared everything family style and let our waitress know before ordering and she was very kind. Usually at nice restaurants they are extremely accommodating on adding more pieces to appetizers to make sure everyone at the table gets a piece but this restaurant wasn't so we would have to order 2-3 plates. We actually don't even mind paying but it's a little silly to order a whole other plate for one piece. That was the first red flag because almost every other restaurant accommodates to this. Another issue we had was our waitress wasn't totally present the whole time, it took us a while to flag her down. We all ordered mocktails and I had one that was so disappointing and gross, none of us could finish it. I kindly explained to our waitress and asked if I can order something else and she immediately took the drink away so I assumed I wasn't going to be charged but I was, not the end of the world but for a nice restaurant they shouldn't have charged for that if they took the drink away. I didn't make a fuss, just paid and left. Overall the food was incredible! But the portions were so small I'm not sure if I'd ever go back because the cost to experience wasn't great. read more

Came here today on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. Still a lot of tables open. They have outdoor seating but we sat inside. The menu isn't huge but there is a pretty good variety. There is even a bakery inside where you can purchase items through your server or at the counter. The dishes my table ordered for family style all tasted great. We ordered the Roasted Beets & the Crispy Maitake Mushrooms as starters. FYI, the Crispy Maitake Mushrooms is one of their most popular dishes and I can see why. I really enjoyed this one. The main entrees: Eggplant Parmesan Sliders and the Radiatori Pasta. My 2 favorites dishes were the Crispy Maitake Mushrooms & the Radiatori. I definitely would order these again. Our server, Hannah, did terrific for her first day off training and going solo. She was friendly and very attentive. The other staff members were also nice in helping run food, pre-bus our table, and refill drinks. Liked the teamwork. Great restaurant & good vibes. I do recommend visiting this vegan spot. read more

This is the most gorgeous yet homey restaurant. I just... want to go to there. It is spacious, not loud, and a great destination place for a date or a business outing. Service is always awesome. The food is all vegan which I appreciate because all the cheesy stuff is of course lactose-free. I don't always feel like vegan food but when I do it's generally delicious here. The main issue is I am not always sure what items will taste like as they are less familiar. However, the staff is knowledgeable and there to help. read more

From the moment you walk into Twelvemonth, you know you've found something special. The space is absolutely stunning--thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail, with a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The food is beyond beautiful--it's art on a plate--but more importantly, every dish feels like nourishment. Fresh, plant-based, seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers come together in ways that are creative, vibrant, and packed with flavor. You leave feeling satisfied and energized, not weighed down. What sets Twelvemonth apart, though, is the heart behind it. The owner's passion and care are evident everywhere--from the kindness of the staff to the quality of the menu to the overall experience. As a fellow business owner in the wellness world, I deeply admire the love and dedication that went into creating this gem. If you're looking for a restaurant that celebrates health, sustainability, and community while delivering an unforgettable dining experience, this is it. Burlingame is so lucky to have Twelvemonth. read more

Twelvemonth's food was not worth our time and money. I looked forward to this plant-only restaurant- a luxury for vegans to read a menu where every choice is free of animal products. Unfortunately, the entrees' quality was mediocre & didn't justify the premium pricing. Twelvemonth's architecture and decor are very nice. Yet Greens in SF are stunning, and its vegetarian/vegan food tasted much better. At Twelvemonth, no bread or breadsticks were offered. My $32 lasagna was dry and not much tastier than frozen versions I've had. The lasagna's bottom noodle's sides were dried out, hard, and crunchy. This was worse at the corners. To prevent this, cooks can add extra sauce and more cheese to the bottom. The can also avoid heating it for hours before serving. Visually, the lasagna piece sat alone on the bare black plate with no enticing sauce or cheese dripping down the sides, no vegetables. My mates said their $26 falafel plate "nothing special" and the $32 curry was "okay at best." Happily, the lemon semifreddo and potted pudding desserts were of gourmet quality! read more

Twelvemonth is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in the Bay Area. First of all, the space is stunning. The restaurant is huge, beautifully designed, and has such an elevated yet welcoming vibe. They even have a separate bar room and a bakery with different hours (definitely check their website before you go!). The food is seriously delicious. They rotate their menu periodically, which keeps things exciting -- but I truly hope they always keep their most popular items because those are what keep customers coming back. My personal favorites are the dumplings, the Impossible sliders, and the fried crispy mushrooms. Every dish is flavorful, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. And I can't forget the drinks -- they're just as amazing as the food. Thoughtfully crafted, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. The service is great too, which makes the whole experience even better! read more

First time at Twelvemonth vegetarian restaurant, and it didn't disappoint! Great location in Burlingame. The weather was hot and beautiful, so we opted to sit outside with our sweet pup. However, when I checked inside, I saw that the interior was open with high ceilings--so nice! While waiting for our table, we sat in the bar area, where they served appetizers. Just a heads-up: the bar menu is different, and you can't order from it once you move to the dining area. Our server recommended the crispy maitake mushrooms and Lumpia Shanghai, and both were absolutely delicious! read more

Lovely lunch and dinner spot. I walked in with a friend for lunch on a weekday, and we were seated right away. There's plenty of space, but I can imagine it would get crowded for dinner or on weekends. Autumn chopped salad - delicious! Butternut squash soup - delicious, but small quantity. I wanted more! Beets - meh. Don't recommend. Pro tip - their mocktails and fresh juices are awesome. Great option for lunch, if you want a beverage but don't necessarily want alcohol. Would return and recommend! read more

Had a wonderful lunch there and then Immediately followed with dinner the next day. It is that good!! We have walked past this busy place multiple times but never had the urge to join the noisy crowd, nor the non meat eater crowd. But a friend really want to go there so we 5 girls ended up eating lunch there. The dishes were all tasty and beautifully presented. Vegan wasn't even in the picture as we ordered the signature burger, Korean bbq chicken etc etc. Of course these are all plant based ingredients but they tasted better than their meat counterparts. Food were so good that I came back with more meat eating friends the next night. From salads to desserts, we tried out different selections. And for sure, we are coming back real soon to have more of the same or venture to other dishes. All thumbs up. Service was friendly but a bit slow. Love the high barrel ceiling. read more

This restaurant was simply incredible! Everything from the ambiance, to the immaculate vegan food served was simply perfect. Not to mention the quality of the service!

If you are a vegan, vegetarian, or even someone who eats meat living in the bay area definitely go give this restaraunt a try. read more

From outdoor patio cocktail summers to cozy dinner dates indoors, this place delivers! The menu is mostly seasonal with some favorites that stick around, always featuring creative and tasty options.

Staff is consistently great: knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to give a new recommendation. Love this place and I'm not even vegan. Will keep coming back! read more

Why you don't need meat +'s: + Hearty dishes. The starters and entrees feel satisfying and doesn't leave me to hunger for more + Big flavor. Every dish does not taste like a bunch of veggies and carbs. There were definitely standouts like the paella and curry. + Ambiance. The place governs a very spacious dining area both inside and outside. The bar is separate and leaves room for all to easily move and not feel overheard by other patrons. + Standouts included the fried mushroom, curry, and fried cookie dough. And the rolls! Why you don't go vegan -'s: - Spotty service. Multiple times on a Saturday evening we were served wrong dishes and forgotten. Our dishes did get served timely though. - Dishes varied on success. The ones that didn't get much favor included the chocoyote and malasadas - Pricing. The dishes deed seem labor intensive but I'm not sure I'd willingly go out of my way to eat here. read more

Date of Visit: 11/14/2023 Finally visited the elegant vegetarian restaurant, Twelvemonth, in downtown Burlingame with my colleagues. Twelvemonth was newly opened in early 2023, and all the foods are sourced from local farmers, and create a sustainable manufacture and waste reduction. Made a reservation about 2 weeks in advance, and we sat at the corner table in the main dining room. Love the decoration of the main dining room, which is similar to the RH Restaurant, with trees and high ceilings. Jaguar Rose $16 I ordered the cocktail with tito's vodka, cranberry shrub, pomegranate orange & lemon juice, and rose water. It was decorated with marigold and a slice of lemon. Garden Party $9 This is a zero proof cocktail with english cucumber, mint, apple cider vinegar, and sparkling water. Grapefruit Juice $4 The freshly squeezed grapefruit juice is tasty too. On the food menu, there are different sections such as Bakehouse Provisions, Starters, Salads, and Entrees. Twelvemonth Rolls $9 We ordered the parker house roll with furikake butter and crunchy salt on the side. Grilled Carrots $9 The carrots were grilled with pomegranate glaze, parmesan, and pumpkin seed mole. It Tastes like dehydrated carrots. Roasted Beets $13 We all like the roasted beets with house cultured yogurt, zhoug, and zaatar beneath. Crispy Maitake Mushrooms $17 The deep fried mushrooms came with the hot nash seasoning, pickles in whipped ranch. Squashio E Pepe $20 One of the pasta is the radiatori pasta with honeynut squash, black pepper miso, and parmesan. It was very heavy and creamy. Pear Curry $24 We also got the pear curry with a bowl of jasmine rice on the side. The pear curry has pearl onion, brussels sprouts, fennel, sweet potato, and butternut squash. The curry was watery and lacked taste. Overall I like the decoration and ambience of the restaurant, the outdoor fireplace dining area and bar area was pretty too. The food was a little below expectation, in terms of presentation and taste. read more

This is definitely a beautiful fine dining restaurant and to top it , it's vegan! Love the interior of this place. Wish Bay Area had more such restaurants - We tried the following - Crispy Maitake Mushrooms - 5/5. I love mushrooms and this dish was soo good. It was just the right amount of crispy and I couldn't stop snacking on it. Charred Cabbage Salad - 4/5. We are not very big on salad , but this was really good. Loved the dressing on this. Just wish the cabbage were slightly small in size. Campanelle - 4/5. This was surprisingly good as this isn't cooked in the usual sauce one would expect. I enjoyed the taste , but my husband did not like it as it felt like it had some barbecue sauce. Try if you are feeling adventurous. Tofu curry - 4/5. We really liked this as well. This definitely had a strong lemon grass flavor which might not be to everyone's liking. read more

I really enjoyed my meal at Twelvemonth months ago, and have been anticipating the opening of their bakery on the backside of the restaurant (California Drive). The bakery opened a few weeks ago, and is only open Wednesday - Saturday from 8am-1pm. I walked over this morning while we were waiting for our order at nearby Stacks. I was thinking it would be busy, but I came in at a perfect time around 9, and it was to my surprise very quiet! The shop is small but decor is classic and beautifully reminds me of the dining room of the restaurant (hello marbles, greens and golds). I got a slice of lemon poppy seed coffee cake ($4), and a cinnamon millet croissant ($6). I was eyeing the corn Danish, but the employee told me if I like cream of corn I'd like it (which I don't, not even House of Prime Rib's). The lemon poppy cake slice was delicious. The icing isn't overly sweet, and lemon flavor is prominent and balanced. It's not greasy either, again, no dairy butter here, but not sure if there's an alternative in it either. I'd come back for this. The cinnamon millet was described to me like a Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It's a croissant and thick, but doesn't flake off like most croissant, but the millet adds crunch. It's a heavy croissant. The flavors don't pop as much with this one, and I do miss the butter with this, but it was still enjoyable. I loved their Parker rolls at the restaurant, but decided to skip purchasing it. No fomo though, as they said they'll always offer it. Twelvemonth Bakehouse is a great addition to the neighborhood, especially for those who are vegan or looking for something slightly healthier or different. I look forward to adding Twelvemonth Bakehouse to my bakery rotation. 3.5 stars rounded up. read more

Booked a reservation for 2 during a weekday night, and was excited to try this place. Food was around 3.5 but the atmosphere and service was a solid 5. The ambiance was modern and upscale with its contemporary decor. It was very instagramable and good for group gathering. Server was very attentive and friendly. He always check back and forth on us to make sure he meet our needs. Food was good in general, there's only one dish that I didn't quite like. Overall it was a great experience. CRISPY MAITAKE MUSHROOMS (5/5) - My favorite dish! MUST ORDER! SAVORY CREME BRULEE (3/5) - Taste a bit weird for me, but it was one of a kind experience. TWELVEMONTH SALAD (4/5) - Good portion, nothing too special but it was good. CAMPANELLE (5/5) - I am amazed on how it taste, the sauce was everything. COCONUT RICE PUDDING (3/5) - Not my favorite, I don't think everything went well together. OAT MILK SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM (5/5) - Best ice cream i've had! It was not very heavy with a good amount of sweetness. It was creamy but also refreshing. I'd order this again. read more

2.5 STARS   As a carnivore, you know a vegan/plant-based restaurant hits when you're not missing the meat. At all.   After Twelvemonth, we had to hit up Jack in the Crack afterwards. =/ No shame in some 99 cent tacos (well $1.69 now).   As a fan of the now closed Michelin star Al's Place where the owner previously worked, I had high hopes for Twelvemonth. I've had some delicious meals from plant-based restaurants like Wildseed, Rad Radish, Nick's (Chef Reina), Shizen, and Little Saint and sadly, this was the most disappointing experience I've had with plant-based food. More on that later.   Twelvemonth is a five-month young plant-based restaurant that took over Steelhead Brewery. An ambitious undertaking since the space is huge and can accommodate about 300 people.   They're open for dine-in only. I don't believe takeout and delivery is offered. I've been waiting for the patio to open and per staff, the availability of outdoor seating (dog-friendly) is dependent on staffing. I was asked to keep calling late afternoon to inquire whether the patio was open for dinner service that night.   Rezzies are highly recommended because it was poppin' when we arrived (I was able to make one last minute).   M E N U Plant-based Californian fare with global influences; seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Small focused menu: three housebaked bread options ($9-$12) and 14 apps/shared plates/entrees ($9-$26). Full bar. Separate bar food menu. D R I N K * Fortaleza Blano, on the rocks ($18) My go-to sipping tequila but crazy markup. I usually pay $11-$16/shot...Barrelhouse next door charges $14/shot.   F O O D TL;DR: Best item: Crispy Maitake Mushrooms. Issues with food temperature and uneven seasoning. Execution needs work.   * Twelvemonth Rolls w/ furikake butter, crunchy salt ($9): https://tinyurl.com/2f2ym9d9 We ordered the warm pretzel but our server recommended the Twelvemonth (Parker) rolls "for value" so we went with it.    For $9 bread service, the rolls were a letdown. They were barely warm, dry, and tasted like ordinary dinner rolls you can get at the market. BUT...the furikake butter was deliciously rich and creamy with a salty rich umami. Tastes like the real deal.   * Bean Stew: Yellow Eye Beans w/ rich tomato broth, kale, focaccia ($13): https://tinyurl.com/yyk26kn2 I have fond memories of this same hearty stew from Al's Place. Unfortunately, this one was lukewarm, hella salty, and more of a soup (watery) than stew.   * Savory Crème Brûlée: Tomato bisque, preserved lemon, lavender ($9): https://tinyurl.com/3838pfmn Proper caramelized sugar crust but the custard was curdled with a strange muddled flavor. Props for creativity tho.   * Crispy Maitake Mushrooms w/ hot nash seasoning, pickles, whipped ranch ($16): https://tinyurl.com/bdz235bn Best dish of the night! These reminded me of the ones at True Laurel but with a "hot chicken" spin. The fried maitake mushrooms were satisfyingly crunchy, earthy, and meaty (hot nash seasoning was not spicy). A tad oily but the acidity from the fried pickles balanced it out well. My only gripe is they were warm, not hot. * Radish Cake: Steamed and Griddled Rice Cake w/ shiitake, carrots, turnips, seasonal greens, chili crisp, soy saba ($25): https://tinyurl.com/ywkmkzpz I was really looking forward to Twelvemonth's take on this Cantonese dim sum staple. I enjoyed the accompaniments - crisp pea shoots, meaty mushrooms, and mildly spicy chili crisp BUT these radish cakes would have uncle roger ugly crying! They had an unpleasant Elmer's glue meets play-doh texture....gummy and starchy with no flavor. Radish cakes are easily veganized by leaving out the dried shrimp and Chinese sausage so it's sad this dish turned out the way it did.   S E R V I C E Friendly servers and food runners but green. Def could use training on the menu. Considering how busy it was, food service was unusually fast. We received three of the five dishes within 10 minutes. Then, the other two dishes arrived not too long after.   A M B I A N C E Wow. Just. Wow.   What an amazing transformation from the brewery - retro swanky bar area with cavernous indoor dining room, various lounge rooms, and a greenhouse for private dining. Beautiful vanity area in the restroom. Expansive outdoor area with fire pits. There aren't many trendy places like this in Burlingame so it looks to be the "it" place to be right now.   P A R K I N G Metered and lot parking that's difficult during peak hours on the weekends. We got lucky and found parking in front.   Overall, while I enjoyed the patio vibes at Twelvemonth, it felt like I was there just for the atmosphere. The most important part of any dining experience is the food and unfortunately, it really missed the mark. 2.5 stars rounded up in hopes they can turn things around because there's nothing like this in the area. read more

Ambiance of this place is very nice, it gives me casual Michelin vibes. As a meat eater I really wanted to keep an open mind about the food but i found it to be strange at best and bad for a good amount of the dishes. Prices are extravagant for what you're getting. The service was excellent until after they dropped off the check after which the next two people i flagged down told me they would get my server to deal with the check and finally after about 15 min out of frustration i got up and handed the card to him across the room. read more

I like the restaurant it's very nice decorated, spaced. Hostess are confusing, I dropped off my family to get the table as we were running late, I got in the restaurant and I told them our reservation name and said part of my party are here and the three of them are looking at their pads couldn't find my family? Until one person came back to let them know We ordered twelve months roll with furikake butter- super yummy, love the butter too Corn bread with preserved lemon and chili butter, cornbread wiith real corn but too sweet, don't taste any lemon or chili in the butter it's just salty Roasted beets - it looks like it's Xmas! But not tasting the Xmas very sad too heavy in the herbs twelvmonth salad - using your name isn't it suppose to be the best? It taste like you just washed the greens and served it to us very sad Crispy mushrooms - this is worth to come for, only thing I would recommend Bean stew - when we order the server said it's a soup not really a stew, which is fine. It tasted ok not bad but not worth for $14 Curry - should call it a soup? It's just very watery Tamales - why bbq sauce? It makes it super sweet and not delicious Overall very sad birthday dinner! I put birthday on the reservation but they didn't do anything so why ask? read more
