    Wildly overpriced for the portions and very uneven cookery ( won’t even get into the dessert menu—geez). Excellent staff, will always love the space, but (sadly) new-ish ownership changed the quality, the uniqueness, and vibe. $175 tomahawk is utter bro culture. Was a guaranteed family celebration spot, won’t be anymore. Kinda breaks my heart.

    This is such a cool gem of a restaurant. The food is amazing! Very fun and eclectic decor. It was very busy and service suffered, but overall we had a great experience.

    Charming atmosphere, excellent wait staff, well prepared food. We had a lovely evening from start to finish. All the food is made carefully with good ingredients and great combinations of flavors from the beet salad to the Brussels sprouts and ice berg wedge to the steak frites. And the desserts were excellent. Thank you!
