• Brunch is great here. Awesome service. Loved the prosciutto and biscuit with eggs. Solid tap list, cocktails and there's oyster happy hour every day from 5-6 pm where you can snag $2 oysters.

• Brunch was mediocre, my Dutch Baby tasted of pork which was really odd, the hollandaise on the Benedict was thin & lacked flavor. Moderately expensive too!

• Delightful classic American fare: the fried chicken and mashed potatoes were very tasty, and the Demara cocktail was perfect. Pecan pie and the black cod are also hella tasty.

• The pancakes are thick like biscuits and the coffee is bomb. Plus the atmosphere is one of a kind.

• Overrated and overpriced. Wait staff is aloof and inattentive, especially for the price point of the establishment.

• The service is excellent - each time they've recommended the perfect bourbon for the meal. I have yet to eat something here that wasn't great; but the oysters and steak have been my favorites.

• Seafood tower steals the show, but it's a hit or miss with the raw inventory. But the happy hour is a sleeper- crab buns and the burger. Also, good for brunch.

• The chicken pot pie was amazing, the braised brisket was about half the size it should have been, and mostly fat.

• Good whiskey selection

  by Thomas Ohashi

  
  

• The fried potatoes and oysters are great but the rest of the food leaves much to be desired. Skip the brunch and just come for the oysters.
