    The tables are spaced inches apart. It’s like you’re sharing a meal with the strangers you’re sitting next to. The pork ragu is my go-to. Twice fried chicken wasn’t a hit with my gf tho. The drinks are fancy and great if you like the taste of alcohol. We had reservations and got seated early. The location is gross so I wouldn’t eat outside. Inside is LOUD and crowded. I love this place. It’s a bit pricey but worth it.

    Outstanding food and service throughout the evening. All the dishes were top tier, but my favorite was the Scallop Carpaccio. We also enjoyed the Hokkaido Milk Rolls, Onion Dip, Foie Gras Torchon, Gnocchi Mabolognese and the pasta special. All excellent dishes with amazing flavors. The service was awesome. The staff was very knowledgeable in describing the dishes when they arrived. The vibe was relaxed and very comfortable. Overall really awesome dining experience. I will be going back again and would highly recommend to others.

    The Pig and the Lady consistently offers bold, tantalizing flavors with an emphasis on fresh ingredients. I encourage you to order family-style and share dishes in order to experience the full diversity of what the chef has to offer: the chicken wings, pho, banh xeo, and the griddled Vietnamese honeycomb cake with durian cream, flecked with makrut, and fresh fruit was delightful!
