We made last minute reservations for 3 people and had a very delicious meal. The menu is seasonal and changes often. We basically tried the whole menu (minus three dishes). Great value for the food, great place to share plates!

Was an amazing experience! We went for my boyfriend's birthday and we're definitely going to go back! The ribeye was fantastic and the chicken and pork belly were to die for. We also loved the milk bread and the butter cake. Our waiter was great; you could tell he took pride in his job. If you're on the fence about making a reservation, I recommend you book a table. You won't regret it!

This is a MUST whether you are a local or from out of town. It is a lowkey, intimate setting with indoor and outdoor seating. The food was so good that we went back the next night to try more menu items. No regrets. It was the best. Also the service was excellent :)

Magical. The dak galbi was an incredibly beautiful take on elevated Korean food, and I found myself polishing off my entire plate. The pesto pasta was very light and and almost floral…equally delicious. This was the best dinner I've had in San Antonio. The service was just as good as the food. 10/10
