Commonwealth Restaurant

Enjoyed a BDay dinner with the wife and ‘lil kids and enjoyed many of the small plates offered.
Tasty stuff: apple turnip soup, lobster croquettes, pork belly (can you ever go wrong?), fried chicken, asparagus salad and persimmons, mushroom risotto, and the bacon burrata. Yes, we splurged and went to town! Plus, a birthday treat came in the form of butterscotch pudding with pancetta. So good!

Came on a whim for a TuesDATE night and was not disappointed. We didn’t make reservations so we were forced to sit at the bar (make reservations as the bar is small and near the entrance– a bit breezy). We ordered a variety of random dishes and they were all satiating! Standouts: fried chicken, mussels (sauce was sinful). The atmosphere was super cute. A great date night location. Staff was über friendly and service was excellent. We will return with friends!

I was working late in Burbank and wanted good food. Sat alone at the bar. Nice wine selection by the glass. Started with the chicken liver mousse pâté. It was light and tasty with the homemade potato chips. The owners and staff were very friendly and made excellent suggestions for me. Pork belly was cooked to perfection. I love tapas and small plates. I even had dessert. I can’t wait to go back and try the other items on the menu.

Omakase me, por favor.
This is not a sushi restaurant. This is not a tapas spot. It is something in between. And that in between is so good I anticipate this will be a new category.
Sure, there are small plate restaurants, of which this is one. But the eclectic dishes took us, and the rest of the fully sat restaurant (at 6:00) on a Thursday, on a world tour. Our server started us with amuse bouche and a tour of the asian/​hispanic/​medeterranian/​american (quite possible I’m leaving one out) inspired menu. It had been a long day. The server said that. He suggested that he could drive, and we could just eat. That sounded great. He asked if we wanted to pair with wines. So inside two minutes we found ourselves in the midst of a coursed wine pairing.
Crab and piquillo soup. Perfect consistency, served cold, huge flavor, and quite an opening act.
Charred chopped. Huge flavor, meaty but without any meat, with a near-​sweet cabbage an cut perfectly with a chardonnay. Didn’t realize salad could be like this.
Snapper Carpaccio. Topped with nuts for crunch and I believe a chimichurri. A huge texture win, with perfectly fresh, sweet fish. This reminded us we were not in a sushi restaurant — there was too much panache here, and more than welcome. Can this keep going? Sure
Octopus in Brussels. My head, spinning. Sweet, tender, contrasted perfectly to the point I can’t believe I’ve never had this dish before. But I will when I’m back tomorrow. Paired perfectly with a riesling that was not sweet, with plenty of bright citrus notes to cut through the delicious dish.
Mussels. Drank the garlic-​y broth after the refill of bread ran out.
Steak and risotto. Perfect steak bites with a truffled, umami-​ed starch. Served with a subdued, Earthy cab. I’d complain that there was not more, but at this point we’re about to explode. Sadly, we throw in the towel. And ask if there is availability over the weekend. Because its 8:30 and they are still sitting people. For Burbank, this is so far from the norm. Something special is going on here. Could this be the best restaurant in LA? It sure isn’t priced that way. And they are so casual and cool, they don’t act it.

This is one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I tried the sangria but went back to Pinot Noir but it was nothing against the sangria. Albacore scoops = 10, Persimmon asparagus salad = 7, was good but I’d say save room for another small plate. Sashimi = 9 and truffle risotto = 10 and hangar steak = 10. The fried chicken even looked good but there are too many other things I want to try first. Butterscotch pudding was also good and the perfect ending to a great meal. Go hungry. For small plate establishment the plates were not too small. The octopus also looks delicious but I don’t eat octopus. 5 plates + dessert and 2 alcoholic beverages and one non alcoholic was just over $ 100.00. I felt totally satisfied with the service and the food quality. We are already planning what we will have the next time.

Great date place. Very dark, small, and intimate. Be sure to get reservations because this isn’t the place to be sitting at the bar. They provide an amuse bouche, which was phenomenal. We shared a few small plates to sample the menu and were not disappointed.

For tapas, and really any other categories you want to consider, the food items were really great!
Top hits:
Octopus
Mussels
Cauliflower
Buratta eggplant parm
Risotto
Hangar steak.
The rest are also very good.
We had some Pinot Gris that went down smooth. Almost a Riesling character. (It was upper middle of list)…Of the 2, it was not the Italian, which I think had more body and flavor when tasting, but this was safer and I enjoyed it as well.
Really, none of the dishes were a miss. Even the noodle shrimp was good, although the gravy like cream topping didn’t taste quite right. the noodles were a perfect slippery fresh texture, and the shrimp was also good.
The place is small, so make reservations. They have plenty parking at night across the street. They have a nice wine list as well.
The beauty of dining here is that it is tapaps style… You get to taste many different dishes at one sitting and you feel like you had a Top Chef experience!
The pudding like desert was good, but that’s one area maybe they can take it up a couple notches, as they were good, but not so memorable.
Service is smooth and good. The place is not hard to manage and that works to their
advantage.
I highly recommend you give this place a go. And go in a group so you taste everything!

3.5 Stars
Across the board, each dish either hit the mark or missed
Persimmon and Asparagus Salad — refreshing, delicate, sweet, balanced
Roasted Cauliflower and Arugula Salad — flat in flavor, cauliflower presence was lacking
Grilled Octopus and Brussels — while separately they were fine together they felt disjointed and didn’t harmonize well
Maine Lobster and Truffle Croquettes — no highs or lows, felt caviar wasn’t needed
Shrimp Dumplings — shrimp was juicy and flavorful, well-​made dumpling but the sauce was far too salty and rich
Pork Belly — tender, nice pops of acidity and heat
Fried Chicken — while cooked well, the flavors were one note and the sauce was far too sweet and sour
Nueske Bacon and Burrata — a nice hit of smoke, burrata was decent but not as creamy as I would have preferred
Pan Seared Duck Foie Gras — foie gras was done well but the sweet wasabi soy was a huge miss. It was far too salty, far too much of it on the plate to the point where it drowned the bok choy and rendered them inedible salt blocks. Also, there was no trace of the wasabi nor was it «sweet»
Butterscotch Pudding with Prosciutto — a unique pairing that works but in moderation. After a few spoonfuls, I was done
Service was friendly and food rotated at a good pace, you never felt rushed and they would wait before firing the next item
Overall Thoughts
While the creativity and technique are there, the balance of flavors is lacking

It has been too long since I had Commonwealth bookmarked. As it’s a tapas style restaurant I always wanted to come here with more than one person so I can try a little of everything. Finally my gf’s and I decided to come here for a little girls night out of catching up. Parking is a bit hard to find, we parked on the street. I recommend making a reservation as the restaurant is a bit small. I did love the inside decoration and feel. Small but cozy, inviting, and a bit rustic chic. The menu is tapas so for us 3 girls we did 7 dishes. And that was the perfect amount as some of the entrée dishes were quite small.
They give you an amuse bouche to start off your palette. We were served mini crostini with some cheese spread on top (maybe goat cheese) and some sweet cubed jam on top with a bit of quinoa. It was very good and definitely woke my tongue up.
_​Grilled Octopus and Brussels ($ 14) Thai vinaigrette, fresh mint, chili. This was great! The octopus was very tender and flavored lightly. It was not chewy whatsoever. The brussels were soft but had a nice crunch to it. I like that it was not burnt, as for some reason lots of restaurants always seem to serve burnt or over grilled brussels. I especially loved the sauce, sweet but also earthy, pungent and citrus like. Definitely reminds me of sweet and sour.
_​Steamed Mussels ($ 16) White wine, chili butter garlic, grilled bread. Good amount of mussels. This sauce was different to me as most of I’ve had are clear, yellow broth from the wine and cream but this was an orange red like color. I like that it was not as salty as the usual wine mussels I’ve had. A bit thick like a tomato broth. The thin grilled bread was perfect to scoop up the sauce with. Light but hearty, great if you like seafood.
_​Shrimp Dumplings ($ 12) Shrimp, goat cheese, shitake, seafood cream. This was amazing! comes in about 5 good sized dumplings. The shrimp inside was juicy and cooked perfectly. The sauce was thick and creamy, reminds me of a fettuccini sauce. With the sliced mushrooms on top I almost felt like I was having pasta but Asian style. A bit rich from the sauce, but I found myself wanting to lick the plate.
_​Pork Belly ($ 12) Tomatillo sauce, lentils, house pickled shallots. This was another great dish! Pretty small. The pork was thinly sliced and so flavorful. Juicy and slightly fatty, I was glad it was served this way since it tasted lighter. the lentils were a nice touch to served with the pork belly and the pickled shallots added a nice crunch texture as well as sweetness and a touch of that kick. The tomatillo sauce was light and did not overpower the pork and accompanied the pork real well.
_​Hudson Valley Duck Confit ($ 16) Sauce charcutiere, mustard, toasted bread. Nice big piece of duck served on top of a delicious mustard sauce. The duck skin was perfectly crispy on the outside. And the meat fell apart as my gf was cutting it in half. The meat was tender and lightly seasoned. You did not need much salt as the crunchy skin was salty enough. The mustard sauce was phenomenal. Paired perfectly with the duck, giving it a bit of spice but also a tad sweetness. The toasted bread was also great to eat with the duck and mustard sauce.
_​Grilled New Zealand Lamb Chops ($ 14) Mint, garlic jus, thyme roasted veggies. I was pretty surprised at how tiny the 2 pieces of lamp chop were. But the taste was all there so I guess I can’t complain. Yes, I can please make them bigger! haha that’s how good they were. When I saw pictures I saw it was served one giant piece of chop but I guess they changed it to two small chops. The chop were cooked perfectly. We asked for med rare but a bit more of the med side, and they nailed it! The potatoes and cooked carrots were great to eat with the chops. I’m not a huge fan of cooked carrots, but somehow they made me eating them all up. The sauce, I can’t not put my finger on it but it tasted somewhat familiar. A bit salty, light, the au jus gave the pork even more flavor.
_​Butterscotch Pudding ($ 8) Housemade whip, caramel, crisp prosciutto. I was skeptic about this as I expected it to taste super rich and overpowering. To my delightful surprise it was well balanced and not as sweet as I imagined. Yes, it was sweet, butterscotch and caramel is bound to be sweet but paired with the crisp prosciutto it helped to balance it out. You get sweet and savory, tastes like dessert but could also be brunch hahaha. The whip was so fluffy, I think this too helped to balance the whole pudding so it was not as sweet. I can see how this may not be for everyone. But it’s worth a try, unique and tasty.
I also had the Apple Pie sangria which was great! You can taste the small bits of apple pie mash inside and not too sweet or strong. Very refreshing. Service was great! Yay success!

One of the most random, tiny restaurants you’ll find in this side of town… that will blow your wallet and tastebuds away!!!
If you can get a reservation, definitely make one. We just happened to be in the area, checked Unilocal for food… and I was one of those folks that had a baby in tow. So what do I do: the parents dine and have the baby strapped to mom! Yes, indeed… I ate and drank wearing a baby, don’t judge! When we went, we tried several items, but the ONE that stood out without it being anything out of the ordinary was their seared ahi tuna appetizer. Nothing fancy, just showing the good grade of fresh tuna they had for the night and it tasted like butter! We secretly wished we ordered two.
Their seafood selection here is also surprisingly fresh and tasty, but their meat entrees, I’d have to agree with others, ranged from average to just bit above average. Skip the kabobs here as they tend to be «tougher» compared to all the Persian/​Armenain places throughout Burbank/​Glendale area that know their kabobs.

What a fabulous little spot tucked away in Burbank. Bar is limited to 5 or 6 spots. The prosciutto and endive salad was Devine along with the attentive service. Nice, albeit limited wine selection and no cocktails (no full liquor license).
However, as many of my fellow Unilocalers will agree, it’s those blasphemous Brussels sprouts with octopus that are simply NOT TO BE MISSED. You gotta like the vinegar element (which I grew up on in the Heartland with my sprouts) … But we never had octopus or anything that damn delicious. Wow.

I was always intrigued by Commonwealth given its high ranking for the Burbank area here on Unilocal.After getting a personal recommendation, I decided I needed to try it out so made a reservation for dinner one evening.
The place is quite small, so reservations are highly recommended. Commonwealth’s specialty is the New American tapas style of cuisine, with the idea being you go with others and share a bunch of things. There is a hefty seafood focus, but they also can please the land food eaters of the world. After much deliberation we decided on the following variety: Grilled New Zealand Lamb Chop, Seared Hanger Steak, Grilled Octopus and Brussels, Maine Lobster and Truffle Croquettes, and Shishito Peppers.
The Shishito Peppers were honestly an amazing surprise. I expected that they would be tasty but ordered them more because they had been recommended, and the accompaniments were quite appealing (prosciutto and goat cheese). They had a wonderful flavor and also ended up being a good sized portion and were truly the surprise of the evening for me. The lamb chop was superb and was accompanied with mint, garlic jus, and thyme roasted veggies. It had a nice rich flavor and was cooked absolutely perfectly, and the only complaint is that it was only 1 chop and therefore not quite as easy to share. I probably could have eaten 4 or 5 it was so good!
The Grilled Octopus and Brussels was absolutely delightful, and the paired mint and chili really balanced the flavor out nicely. The octopus was nice and tender, and the brussel sprouts were also cooked perfectly. The Lobster and Truffle Croquettes were literally to die for. The lobster meat was deliciously tender and sweet, and the black truffles also had a great flavor, making the entire croquette package amazing. The final dish was the Seared Hanger Steak, and it was honestly forgettable, especially stacked up against everything else we ordered. It was served with sauteed onions and peppers and a horseradish cream, and it was tasty, but it wasn’t exceptional.
We decided to order dessert and went with 2 options: Butterscotch Pudding and «Mama’s» Cake. Mama’s Cake very much was like a holiday fruit and nut cake but with a slightly different flavor characteristic. It had a good flavor but was a bit of a disappointment. The Butterscotch Pudding, on the other hand, was like crack, and we couldn’t get enough (and honestly wished we had doubled up the order). The pudding itself had a nice creamy rich flavor, but the topping of crispy prosciutto enhanced it nicely and really made for a fantastic dessert and presentation.
The service was very attentive and informative about each of the dishes, and the food came out efficiently, meaning we never waited long once we started eating. The portions were decent for this style of cuisine, though it did seem a bit pricey. The food was quite delicious, very fresh, and the chef did a great job with really fun creative flavor profiles. Even the 2 dishes that weren’t as good as the rest were still tasty. Overall I really enjoyed Commonwealth and definitely plan to return in the future.

Came for my friends’ birthday in 2014. Yeah, I’m really behind on my reviews.
Commonwealth’s dishes are tapas style, small plates that are meant to be shared. It is a tiny little restaurant, with about 10 tables. Make sure you have reservations, if possible. An asian-​fusion inspired spot.
Free amuse busche… cucumber mousse with coconuts and some sun dried tomatoes. This was so delicious. Thank you chef!
Pink snapper carpaccio Apple shallot relish. House ponzu. Almonds
Grilled octopus and brussels. Thai vingerette. Fresh mint. Chili. Loved this dish.
Fried okinawa white anchovies. Calabrese chili alolu. Sea salt. Lemon. *totally a bar food, I highly recommend this, if they have it in season.
New caledonia soft shell prawns. Grilled. Garlic butter. Lemon
Fried chicken. Meh, skip. Salt and pepper fried. Cumin. Maple Dijon
Seared hanger steak. Mushroom and onion sautee. Horseradish pepper cream
Fresh Santa Barbara uni. Sweet soy. Tobiko. Shallot. Potato chips
Parking: Street, and they have a lot for you across the street.
Prices are not too bad, it’s on the mid-​high end, but overall worth it.
Overall a solid place, worth coming back — especially since Commonwealth’s menu is done with seasonal and imported items.

I was surprised to learn that Commonwealth is related to the now-​shuttered Orris on Sawtelle, which I’d heard lots of good things about but didn’t get to visit before they closed. I’m happy that they opened in a city that is closer to me!
Our favorite dishes:
Foie gras: Amazing!
Octopus and (deep fried!) brussels sprouts with Thai vinaigrette: The brussels are to die for, even if you don’t normally care for them
Shrimp dumplings which reminded me of large, flat ravioli in a creamy sauce
Hanger steak: very tender and flavorful
We also tried:
Eggplant with burrata
Mussels
My friend told me I made a mistake in skipping the butterscotch pudding with prosciutto, so I guess I’ll be ordering that on my next visit!
The space is intimate and small, so definitely make reservations during prime dining hours. I also found it on the loud side so it might not be the best venue for a first date or if you’re not into overhearing the conversations of those around you.
There seemed to be plenty of free street parking when we went on a Thursday evening.

The service here was absolutely fantastic. I made a reservation through their website and I got a call back immediately to book. The place is tiny but there is parking across the street for free. The hostess would constantly go and check up on us. I wish that there was liquor served here but they make really tasty cocktails with the wine.
I think the best dish was the octopus with the brussels sprouts. It was cooked perfectly. The table next to us got two orders of the croquettes with lobster and truffle but it just tasted OK to me. A lot of the food it was brought out lukewarm. I love any place that gives you an amuse bouche!

This is a notable up and comer! Not just great small plates, FANTASTIC!
Don’t shy away from Commonwealths unassuming façade. It is located next to a gas station on a busy street in Burbank. Park, enter and be transported.
We were seated right away at 6ish with no reservations on a Wednesday night. They filled up fairly quickly after that.
We ordered five small plates to share between us. All were excellent. Sweet roasted peppers with feta, salt balsamic and really great bacon wound up being our first course.
We added paella with shrimp and scallops, fried chicken with a doping sauce, etc.
Just eat there, you will see what I mean:)

This is a good, intimate, globally inspired restaurant on the border of Burbank/​Glendale.
The restaurant is small and tables are close together. The noise level can get quite loud, as sound seems to carry in this small space.
The concept is small plates/​tapas, which seems to be all the rage right now. You will need several plates/​person to be satiated. What sets this tapas restaurant apart from the others is that they really want you to enjoy each dish, so only one dish is served at a time. In a world where multiple plates are served together or faster than you can eat, this is so refreshing to see.
Oysters ($ 3 each) — served with Tobasco /​Ponzu Salsa /​Cucumber Fennel Relish. Very fresh.
Albacore Scoops ($ 12) — served with Herb Salad /​Garlic Aioli /​Balsamic /​Kalamata. Very tasty and fresh, but very small portions.
Commonwealth Chopped ($ 7) — Grilled Romaine /​Kale /​Citrus Vinaigrette /​Parmesan. Straight forward dish with no surprises, but still good.
Grilled Eggplant & Burrata ($ 7) — served with Sweet Balsamic /​Garlic /​Parmesan. Perfect char, very tender.
Grilled Octopus and Brussel Sprouts ($ 14) — served Thai Vinaigrette /​Fresh Mint /​Chili. Octopus was tender and brussel sprouts were nicely charred.
Steamed Mussels ($ 15) — served with White Wine /​Chili Butter Garlic /​Grilled Bread. This was the surprise of the evening. Tender mussels, really great dish.
Pork Belly ($ 12) — served with Tomatillo Sauce /​Lentils /​House Pickled Shallots. This was a bit dry and without the fat that pork belly is known for, but still a decent dish.
Seared Hanger Steak ($ 14) — served with Mushroom & Onion Sautee /​Horseradish Pepper cream. Tender and nicely cooked.
The food here is quite good, and especially impressive for the location, as this area is not known for fine dining. This is a great restaurant to bring friends and enjoy lots of different dishes. Thanks to Hovik B for introducing me to this place!
parking — free street parking

Dinner at Commonwealth is uncommonly noisy and outrageously scrumptious, and a bit pricey. Every morsel is artistically presented, and is a delight to savor. Many restaurants pose as gourmet. This restaurant actually succeeds in the endeavor to prepare exquisite food!
I’ve dined here twice with various family members, and have never had a disappointing dish. The idea here is to order a variety of small plates to share.
The Hamachi Sashimi is a delicacy, kissed by ginger and candied lemon, with almonds and a tease of house ponzu. The Maine lobster and truffle croquettes are delicious morsels. All of the seafood I’ve tasted here has been fantastic.
As the evening proceeds, you may have to shout at your dining companion. It’s a small place with poor acoustics. But the food is worth it. This is a small place, and it’s NOT a good choice for big parties.

Commonwealth has been on my list of restaurants that I’m been wanted to try for a long time now. Surely it didn’t disappoint one bit. One of the best restaurant in the city of Burbank.
The restaurant itself is very small. There’s a bar area that seats about 6 people, and no more than 13 table I believe, so reservations is a must. We had a party of 3 and did family style so we can order more dishes. Plus most of the dish that was served was good enough for 2 to 3 people.
SERVICE: Very friendly and professional. Our server would explain each dish that was served to us, and would come back checking to see how we were doing.
FOOD:
Kumamoto Oysters: Very sweet and fresh.
Albacore Scoops: light and refreshing. Everything went well together.
Shishito Peppers: One of my favorite dish of the night. The crispy prosciutto, goat cheese and the balsamic perfect combination. Sweet and salty with a tiny bit of heat from the shishito peppers.
Grilled Octopus & Brussels: Absolutely fantastic.
Maine Lobster and Truffle Croquettes: Another favorite dish. Perfectly cook lobster and the truffle croquettes was amazing.
Pork Belly: I expected a little more from this dish, but it was still good.
Grilled New Zealand Lamb Chop: The lamb was cook perfectly medium rare, and very tender. Overall a solid dish.
Shrimp Dumplings: Hands down my favorite dish of the night. Highly recommend!
Foie Gras eggplant: Very delicious.
DESSERT:
Butterscotch Pudding: Happy ending!!!
Overall Commonwealth lived up to my expectations and I’m a huge fan. The damage wasn’t bad either. Three people 2 drink each 9 dishes for under two bills. Definitely can’t wait to come back for more.

Oh Commonwealth! I wanted to LOVE you, really I was on the hunt for my 1000^th review but I’m set on it being a 5 star and my first visit here was just not that.
I made plans to bring my Mom for Mother’s Day but not on Mother’s Day of course so I thought a middle of the week, Wednesday evening 730ish would be a great time to stop in.
I completely misunderstood the verbiage of their reservations policy
«Reservation policies are as follows: Tue-​Sat: 6pm & 6:30pm or 8pm & 8:30pm, Sun: 5:30pm & 6pm or 7:30pm & 8pm. These are the only reservation times offered at Commonwealth. We do utilize our dining counter as non-​reservation seating, as well as a limited number of tables. All non-​reservation seatings are based on availability. All seats in Commonwealth are for dining only, including our counter. No parties to exceed 8 persons. Credit card hold required for parties of 6 – 8. As a courtesy to all guests, we suggest a two hour dining time from your reservation time. Also note, requests are not a confirmation of reservation. Only a confirmation via a Commonwealth representative will insure a reservation. Thank you for your understanding.»
and was somehow under the impression we’d be fine without one. Wrong! So wrong! DO NOT go here without a reservation.
I did, and trust me it’s not so much fun. With Mom, my younger sis and boyfriend in tow we strolled in to a full house. No place for a party of 4 because they had tables reserved for those to come.
Instead of leaving, which is what we should have done — we stayed and sat at the front bar counter. Not so much fun. The vibe of this place needs to be felt from the dining room floor not from facing towards a bunch of bottles of wine, which none sparked my interest. You want to be amongst the crowd. Believe me! Bar stools are no fun when trying to enjoy a nice meal. I’m actually pretty sorry I put my Mom and other guests through that. It’s also right in front of the door, so on a chilly night Brrrrrrrr! My sister didn’t feel well already and it was inconsiderate of my to have our backs toward this breeze every time the door opened. Certainly not a comfortable way to dine. I was in-​between wanting my jacket back on but not wanting to sit at dinner with a coat on.
Like I said, I wanted to love the place and this you’ll understand when I tell you I ordered at least 10 items.
All of which were presented very nicely, and had me excited from the description and ingredients but with each first or second bite left me underwhelmed.
We ordered the following:
— Hamachi (for my Mom, she enjoyed it — I don’t consume raw food under any circumstances)
— Asparagus and Fennel Salad (unimpressed)
— Golden Beats and Arugula Salad (I LOVE golden beats, but this dish did not impress me)
— Chef’s Bruschetta (2 — mushroom with Gouda and 2– crème smoked trout with radish) I love all of these things, yet did not care for either option of this dish
— Shishito Peppers (I love these at Cleo, was no impressed by their version)
— Grilled Octopus and Brussels (very flavorful and tasty!)
— Shrimp Dumplings (delish!)
— Fried Chicken (where’s the chicken? WAY too much breading — skip!)
— Pork Belly (good, the lentils beside it were better)
— Maine Lobster and Truffle Croquettes Black Truffle, Lemon Beurre Blanc, Caviar (the lobster and caviar atop were my fav part of this dish)
Not sure why we were charged $ 5 for extra lobster. Didn’t order or see this at any point so that’s a mystery and I would have asked about this but didn’t spot the charge until the next day.
They don’t have limitations to their liquor license so drinks are prepared with wine. My rojo mojito was tasty! I didn’t try my boyfriends white sangria, which was orange since I don’t care much for white wine or white sangria.
We skipped the dessert options.
Service was fine.
If I return it will be with a reservation and I will probably only order the following
Grilled Octopus and Brussels
Shrimp Dumplings
and Maine Lobster and Truffle Croquettes (really the lobster and caviar atop is all I want)
The high hopes I had for an amazing epicurean experience were soon let go but people seem to like it, they were busy the entire duration of our visit.
Parking can be tricky — we parked up the street in residential, across from the old folks home.
