Sawtooth Restaurant & Lounge
Sawtooth is a restaurant and lounge serving fresh vietnamese cuisine. The menu is based on small plates served as a communal meal, a shared experience customary in vietnamese dining.
Like the kitchen the beverages are held to same standard featuring organic and biodynamic wines, local microbrews and cocktails made from house-infused spirits

"Small restaurant, nice atmosphere. Good range of flavors on the menu. Food is tasty with good presentation and certainly you won't go away hungry.Service is a bit rough, but they do try to please.In sum. Come early, be patient, bring friends to spend the evening with and you will be rewarded."

"Food was good, however desserts are lacking selection, taste and appeal. Specialty cocktails are delicious. Try to finish by 10 pm otherwise the restaurant becomes a "themed" lounge which maybe a little awkward for some."

"It was a great place, very slow and confused service. The food was good but not authentic at all and lacked some traditional flavor."

"Too pricey for food quality and quantity. The techno music at the beginning of the evening was too loud and somewhat annoying. It was an "okay" experience, though I doubt we will return. We've eaten at terrific Vietnamese restaurants in the past and would not consider this restaurant amoung them."

"Sawtooth is a neighborhood gem. Upon arrival Saturday night our table was ready without delay. The ambiance is quaint with dim lighting, relaxed and hip at the same time with great background music. The restaurant is furnished modern and sleek with no detail spared,even the silverware adheres to the decor.
The menu offers classic Vietnamese dishes with a modern twist, beautifully meshing fresh ingredients and different textures.
Every dish we ordered was excellent, in particular the sea bass and crepe. The Mojitos are not to be missed!"
