Service was amazing. I wish I could remember our waitress’s name so bad. Seems like a very nice establishment. My wife and I were completely shocked that the restaurant was essentially empty at 9pm on a Friday. Get the Fried Chicken.

Staff was warm and friendly. The food was innovative and approachable at the same time. The space is unique and the open kitchen is fun to watch. I may have dimmed the lights slightly and put on a little music, but otherwise, the room was lovely. Would definitely return. Probably many times. Don't skip the house-aged ham or the Solomon cocktail.
