Never heard of it and is difficult to Google without knowing what city it is in... California is a big state; San Diego, Los Angeles, or NoCal?

I have high hopes and wish James Syhabout the very best of luck. Its in Oakland and barely open a week from what I understand. Very little info as of yet, mostly Yelp and Eater. But very early reports sound positive.

I had the opportunity to dine there a couple of weeks ago. First the tasting menu is now $59 no longer $49. However the food was fantastic. Service needs a bit of polishing, the decor is pretty bland but the dishes were outstanding. My wife started with the Soft Egg with Black Garlic which was incredibly delicate and flavorful. I had the Cod followed by the Chicken. The chicken was poached followed by a slow roast. Very nice but a bit on the small plate side. The Strawberry Soup dessert was outstanding.

I give it a huge thumbs up. Portions could be a bit larger and the service needs a slight adjustment but other than that it was delightful.
