"So insanely amazing. If you enjoy food?and people?and appreciate the passion that went behind curating a perfect seasonal menu, do not pass this up. This is an 8 (ish) table indoor establishment with an outdoor area as well. The staff is perfectly attentive. The hot/cold plates are small and as they suggest, you should get 3-4 per table for just two people. The flavors are immense and not quickly forgotten. This will be the best meal you?ll ever have. That statement deserves a period. And, not to be forgotten, we enjoyed the bustling atmosphere and closeness to your neighboring tables that left you with friends who you bonded with over experiencing the same unique slice of this beautiful, somewhat touristy town . I?ll be dreaming of the day I get to return to this restaurant again. You?re doing everything right. Thank you."

"we sat outside, as it was a nice afternoon. it was a bit loud when dogs bark. service was good and pleasant, not hurry! we had drinks and appetizers of crabcake, nori and calamari. then we ordered rose to eat. there were beautiful tuna, more nori, haddock and zuppa de peche. all were very good and perfectly presented. the Lime cake was with its tartness on the square and the coffee was good."

"Some great Japanese fusion and Japanese inspired food! One of the best meals my entire group had during our long weekend in the Boston area. Breakdown below: Service, 3.5/5 The hostess was very helpful and even though we were told there was going to be a 30+ minute wait, we were called in after just 10 minutes and promptly seated. Our server was really nice and let us know the water cups were being washed so that would be delayed, which was no problem, but she never ended up bringing us water the entire meal and only got glasses as we were paying. After the first few minutes, we also weren't able to find her to flag her down about the water, but I understand it must be particularly busy during Halloween season in Salem. Decor and cleanliness, 5/5 Although the restaurant seemed crowded, we were able to stay socially distanced from other patrons in a booth and the interior was decorated in a really rustic and fun way. The bar lights up so all the drinks look like they glow in the dark, and there's a lower level with a bar area as well. The patio was really cute under string lights too when we passed by on our way out. Presentation of the food, 5/5 All very well put together, especially the salmon bowl I got. It just looked fantastic! Price and portion, 4.5/5 The price is just a taaaad high, but the portions are perfectly sized so overall reasonable for the area. Taste of the food, 5/5 Everything we ordered was delicious!! Such a satisfying meal after all the window shopping and touring we did. Here's a detailed breakdown: Cold noodles, 5/5: Made with avocado and chilled noodles, the dish was somehow both creamy but still refreshing. A great vegetarian option that my friend ordered as an entree! Salmon bowl, 4.5/5: The beautiful presentation, generous portion of fresh fish (perfect fish to rice ratio), and perfect size made this one of my favorite meals in the Boston area. I only wish I got water during the meal to help cut the spice from the chili mayo on the rice. Also! Be aware that they season the rice already at the bottom of the bowl which you can't see at first, so there's probably no need to add soy sauce to your fish. It ended up being a little too salty but that's my own fault because I should have mixed up the bowl first. A bit more cucumber and orange would've also made it a perfect 5/5 to cut the spice and saltiness, but again I think it was a byproduct of not having water and adding soy sauce when the rice was actually already seasoned. Coconut curry, 5/5: My friend ordered this and really enjoyed it! I also tried some and the sauce is savory and sweet, a really nice combo and also a great vegan option. Overall, lovely experience!"

"first time to visit here. we're 100 times more. very cool decor and a perfectly varied menu. I have the rigatoni with boneless short ribs. very rich. pasta perfectly aldente. She's got the fig scarf. beautiful and fresh combination. our waitress, haleigh, was efficient and personal with well thought-out opinions about the selection of food. a pizza cook caught me when I stared at the beautiful Italian pizza oven and called me to tell me about it. I recommend"
