Wednesdays are $5 smash burgers, which is what we had. Also ordered a couple of sides. Food was delicious. Service was great. Atmosphere was on the dark side, and noise level was loud, but overall, a very nice time.

We are from New York here to visit our children and grandchildren [9 & 5] we were very happy with our experience. Although they were headed for a busy night with a graduation happening, we were made to feel welcomed and not rushed at all. I will definitely visit this restaurant again and recommend it with confidence . The food was amazing. Our waiter Austin was knowledgeable and super friendly !

Our table was ready with highchairs and in a great spot with a nice view of the kitchen. Erin, our waitress, was so attentive and friendly. Much appreciated when you dine with littles. Thank you for a great experience

It was our first time and I was a bit nervous, having selected this restaurant for my wife's birthday dinner celebration. We were not disappointed! Our waitress was so friendly, made excellent recommendations, and could not have been happier to welcome us. However, the food was the star! The meet was so tender, it basically melted in your mouth. The arugula salad that accompanied my selection was absolutely delicious; my wife's selection, the steak frites, equally so. We will definitely return!

My steak was a bit undercooked even for medium rare. Everyone, including me did enjoy the food but felt it was a bit pricey for what we paid.
