"This place was vibin’! Right across the street from one of my favorite Trader Joe’s. I usually think deconstructed dishes are pretty overrated, but I have to say their deconstructed banh mi with bone marrow is one to bet on ✅ I’m a sucker for the low light, chic ambiance with plush chairs. Drinks are also pretty stellar as advertised. Will definitely come back for more of their food menu!"
"One of, if not the best restaurants in Coolidge Corner! I stopped by for a drink and a quick bite with a friend today and was blown away. The cocktail menu is creative and my drink (new school) did not disappoint. The food was delectable. I will definitely be coming back!"
"This is a hidden gem of Coolidge Corner/Brookline. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. The menu is tastefully done, focusing on doing things delicious, not offering everything under the sun. The menu has something for everyone, beef, chicken, seafood and vegan. I had the lemongrass chicken skewers and they were outstanding! The craft cocktail, also a rec’d of my server, was outstanding: Spice Cooler, rum based with a really beautiful pineapple mint. Definitely coming here again!"
"Wonderful, eclectic, and creative food and drinks! A delightful set of familiar French, British, and Vietnamese, but all with a bit of a twist. They have different menu items for lunch, dinner, and weekends, so it is worth checking out multiple times. We were very impressed with the Imaginative dishes with excellent presentation and flavor. Staff are super friendly. We highly recommend the bao, bone marrow bahn mi, beef wellington, and even the fries were excellent! For the (sweet) coffee lover, the egg coffee is a must try. Can't wait to try out the other menus! Lunch menu has amazing butter egg on fluffy milk bread sandwiches!"
"Walked into this new spot on a Friday night unsure what to expect, but so happy we gave it a chance! The cocktail menu is very unique, especially for Coolidge corner, and the Vietnamese fusion food is presented in a very approachable manner. Everything is reasonably priced, and amazing quality. Really enjoyed the green papaya salad with grilled shrimp (not pictured) and mussels (pictured). The staff was friendly and gave us free macarons with our night cap (try the Barnes and noble coffee cocktail!). We will be back."
