My husband and I enjoyed our experience at this restaurant. Our server was Reed and he was very personable and friendly. We sat outside with our two dogs (facing Montana) and it was a cute and cozy spot. Food and cocktails were amazing. We will be back again soon!

We sat outside on a lovely afternoon. Brunch is served as well as lunch. I opted for the Eggs Benedict (but with a California twist). I highly recommend it!

Ordered a whole spread ranging from truffle fries, Caesar salad, pink hummus, margarita pizza, etc but didn’t feel satisfied. The truffle fry was the most flavorful dish on that table. 48 hour fermented pizza dough but couldn’t tell. Salad was big wedges and barely any dressing
