    I took my friend here for his birthday (as a surprise) and he loved it. Food and drinks were delicious. He was pleasantly surprised.

    For the price the portions were very skimpy. No toast was given for a brunch item of eggs over easy. How is anyone supposed to soak up the yoke with no bread. The waitress didn’t really seem to know what was on their menu as far as drinks and food. I would never go back. They cater to a young crowd who may not be as fussy. Not a pleasant experience and costly for inferior service and good.

    Visited during New Years Eve week and loved the Christmas decorations!! We made reservations a few months in advance and we were seated on time. The restaurant wasn’t overly crowded and packed. Our food and service was great!

    Terrible. So overrated. 2 months for a reservation and a table where we didn’t fit. Our order was wrong and wouldn’t change it. Our drinks were not refilled. Not even water. Dessert was disgustingly. Pizzuki was a burnt Costco cookie in a skillet with strawberry ice cream on top. Disgusting.

    I hate to write a bad review but I mostly want to stress this restaurant isn’t for children. We found it on TikTok because an influencer took her children but there was no kids menu and the seating was really difficult with children. The food was terribly overpriced for mediocre bar food. The 3 chicken sliders had less than a chicken nugget sized patty on them. The “truffle” fries were lacking any truffle flavor—truly cannot believe I paid $19 for frozen French fries with a sprinkle of herbs and Parmesan. The servers seemed frustrated. It was a bad experience. We were there at 2:00 pm on 12/27 so it wasn’t exactly a busy time. So bummed. Don’t come here with kids. Seems like a great bar to have a drink with friends instead.
