    We asked for a quiet table, and received one in the back room with a window to the kitchen--perfect. Excellent waiter, with great recommendations and service. We ordered too much, so couldn't come close to finishing it all. Breaded pickles with siracha aioli were outstanding, wedge salad very good (tho dressing was sparse), Gage burger was good, chicken biriyani was very flavorful but too much. Next time we'll split just one entree.

    One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! The ambience was amazing along with the food and service. Our server Brandon was amazing and kept us entertained throughout the whole experience. The food was an 10000/10 and so were the drinks, along with the playlist that was playing. I was here for my birthday with friends and the staff sang happy birthday to me! I’d like to give a special thanks to the cook(s) and our server Brandon again, I’ll definitely return in the future!
