AI Summary

Owner-chef Asian-European fusion in Vermont, from lamb ribs to burnt pistachio cheesecake

Whimsical and cosy, with cloud-shaped lights, eclectic wall art and humorous signs giving a playful, slightly izakaya-style neighbourhood feel. Relaxed music and warm table service, though busy nights can get noisy.

Owner-chef menu blending Asian and European dishes, a specials board, banquets for groups, cakes and desserts, non-alcoholic yuzu beer, cocktails, and flexibility on table time.

Not traditional Chinese. A creative Asian-European fusion (croquettes, steak and burnt cheesecake alongside spring onion pancakes) built on the owner-chef's own recipes.

Widely praised as excellent value, with generous shared plates, multi-course banquets and weekly deals at modest prices for restaurant-level cooking. A few find some dishes small.
