We had a great time here for my boyfriend’s birthday on a Wednesday night! They didn’t provide anything special, but that’s ok. We didn’t expect anything special. Seemed like it was comedy night so it started getting louder as the night went on but overall was a good experience. We ordered the burger, shrimp basket, and mac&cheese. Surprisingly yummy! Weed is good and it’s cool that you can smoke openly. The only downside is if you’re downwind of someone also smoking and you get hit in the face with someone else’s smoke, but that’s expected. Our waiter was friendly and not overbearing, answered our questions and came around enough to make us not feel neglected. I can imagine it getting a bit more difficult to get your food in a timely manner or waiving down your waiter if it’s super busy. Other than that, highly recommend for a fun night out especially on a week night to avoid crowds!

We ordered the eggs benedict on biscuit with avocado and the breakfast burrito with a hazelnut latte and a butterscotch latte... everything was seriously delicious. Outdoor tables along the sidewalk are a bit loud and there is a lot of traffic (foot and car), but the outdoor tables tucked in between the buildings are lovely. STRONGLY recommended.

Food was good. I took some colleagues and a client there for lunch and everyone was pleased. Easy parking in the public lot not too far away. Otherwise, street parking is difficult to find.

We would appreciate both bars being open at our events with our friends, instead of only one bar being open. Also, both dance floors should have been open. The event was far too crowded as a result.
