    The food was amazing - 10/10. We ordered the lamb sliders, duck carnitas tacos, and flank steak with mushroom risotto. The Brussel sprouts were the best I’ve ever had. Service was great! Overall one of the better meals I’ve had in awhile! Would go back again to try brunch.

    Overall it’s a nice establishment in a cute part of town. We had plenty of parking and were seated right way. We did have reservations, but they were moving folks in and out nicely. The waiter forgot our appetizers, but that was OK. We are enjoying our conversation. Burger was cooked perfectly and was enjoyed. Steak salad was good but a little drenched in dressing. Asked for the dressing on the side lemon cheesecake was outstanding. All in all I would return if I was back in the area,

    On the all day menu, the food was good! Burger excellent, tacos good, lamb sliders, not so good…thin burger on three or 4 inches of focaccia bread, way too much bread and difficult to bite into. Margaritas are very good. Service a bit inattentive.
