    This was our second vsiit and we had another great dining experience, the service and food was great! We ordered the focaccia, burrata, baked shrimp, and short rib and loved each dish. The drinks were great as well. We visited the day before Valentine's Day and they had this strawberry pistachio dessert that was so good. I am not a dessert person so that says a lot. Overall, would highly recommend. Great restaurant, speakeasy vibes, very loungey and dim atmosphere. We will be back again!

    A friend and I had a lunch here— burgers!- and it was great. Restaurant was quiet as a big storm is expected. The burgers looked smallish but the burger was a solid half pound with good bacon and great cheddar.
