    All of our food came out at one time and hardly fit on our tiny table. No one took any of our empty plates until we were totally finished eating. We had to stack them up and get creative to have room to eat. The vegan mouse was not set and more like a loose pudding and my coffee was cold. We’ve been here many times and were very disappointed.

    First time in Fishtown and the restaurant. Everything was delicious and appreciate that they have separate frywrs, as one of the diners has celiac.

    Have a severe tree-nut allergy and had a very pleasant experience. They are extremely accommodating to allergies. The loaded fries are great!

    Really great food and generous portions. The service was great considering how busy it was and she was very friendly. It is loud indoors but also have a large patio. Very enjoyable overall for Sunday family lunch

    Food is reliably good and they do physical distancing and other virus control measures very well. This is the only place I have gone back to in this pandemic time and I am never disappointed.

    Outdoor seating felt very safe covid-wise and we were able to find items on the menu we liked even though it's a shortened menu. We liked the vegan mac and cheese, buffalo cauliflower, and kale ceasar with grilled tofu.
