Great place to go before a concert at Camping World Stadium- especially if you are catching the downtown shuttle to the venue. Small bites and great happy hour.

Had dinner with 3 girlfriends and we split 3 apps, Ribeye, and sides. Dinner was delicious and not a single complaint. The espresso martini with reposado and the Burrata Collins were my fave. My favorite dishes of the night was the beef carpaccio and the burrata and honey salad.
