    The food was decent. The service was decent. I was with a party of 5. The person who ordered the butternut squash and kale salad and the person who ordered the salmon enjoyed their meal. I had the fried chicken. It was fine. Nothing to write home about. The others ordered the short ribs and the bolognese. No one complained but not raved about the food. Would I come back?? Maybe. Not going to be my first choice

    Amazing service, food, and cocktails. Great variety on the menu made it easy for everyone to find something they liked. Handled our small party of 9 with ease. Fun environment. It was a bit loud, only because of a very large party next to us. We will be back!

    I treated my boyfriend here for a Valentine’s Day brunch and it did not miss. He really enjoyed the atmosphere and expressed that it looked very eclectic. It was not overly crowded and the food and service were great. He really enjoyed that everything was made from scratch, especially his ginger beer. The host and waitresses are very attentive as well.

    We dined out on Valentine’s day with a group of girls and they showed us a great time! The drinks were great, as well as the Charcuterie, but next time I will definitely just get the crispy rice and skip out on the cheese. I ordered the salmon with farro and brussels sprouts, a friend enjoyed the steak frites, and we all took a nibble of the fried chicken and biscuit. All came highly recommended by our waiter. Everything was super fresh and tasty, but my salmon was extremely salty, so avoid if that’s not something you like. I particularly enjoyed the monkey bread dessert, the ambiance, and the vibe. Dress code seemed very lax even among their staff but gave off a dressy vibe without being over the top!

    Everytime I eat here something is off with the timing of the food - first time my app never came out - 2nd time apps took a WHILE but then the entrees were quick and THENNNN the dessert took sooooo long we were walking to leave when it finally arrived. They need a better kitchen manager or expo or something is wrong in there idk what but the Food is ALWAYS AMAZING and the ambience is great and staff is friendly just wish they could figure out the ticket times.

    The food was delicious. The salmon with risotto was incredible. We all wanted to try the banana bread French toast and ended up getting it to share as a dessert. It was so good, but very rich. I am so glad I did not get it for my entree but would definitely try it again as dessert.
