  • Alan H.I had the lamb burger (with goat cheese!) and it was super satisfying. Their beer-battered fries also kick a$$

  • Scott H.Good food, great drinks and a pleasant atmosphere

    55555 by Scott H.


  • QuinteinThe lamb burger was top-notch. There's a large mimosa selection and the glass was a larger size than what you would normally expect for breakfast.

  • Samlee G.Drinks were great food was okay.

    55555 by Samlee G.


  • Thomis HThe meatloaf was exceptional. Potatoes were good and carrots were good (a little underdone). But very well priced and delightful

    55555 by Thomis H


  • Bethany MThe cheese plate and fry bread were enough for 2 of us to have dinner. The food is elegantly served with little extra touches and what can I say I loved that it had a full bulb of roasted garlic!

    55555 by Bethany M


  • Mary DTry their Manhattan cocktail and the mussels. Delicious everytime!

    55555 by Mary D


  • Demetrius CooperThe burger burger is really good, although I didn't ask for cheese on my burger it was a pleasant surprise because I never had goat cheese before. The fries were nicely salted and tasted great.

  • CheapismFor only $7 you can order eight ounces of creamy chicken pate, with crackers, bread and a lot of good mustard—enough for a half-dozen people. It’s a trendy spot, but the food is quite affordable.
