    Loved everything about this place! Drunken chicken, salt and pepper chicken, tiger shrimp were all delicious. Endive salad was a favorite of everyone in our party. Nice selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Really lovely and attentive staff. Lively and stylish ambience with a great contemporary playlist.

    Truly delicious meal in a very cool space with wonderful service. I went with 3 others who had also been to Potluck Club — it was expressed that both spots were equally wonderful. I love that the menu is on the smaller side. Everything was super flavorful and ideal for sharing with a larger group (we were 4). We’ll be back!
