    It’s one of our local favorites. The food is great and the drinks among the best in town. When it’s busy it can take a while but it’s a spot you don’t mind hanging around at

    The chicken shawarma was a roll. I assumed it would be more of a bowl. Everything else drinks ect was wonderful. Smash burger, veal meatballs and steak was delicious. Server was very attentive.

    One of the best places to go out in Tremont. Drinks are always good and the food is consistently good too! I will greatly recommend, but make sure you make a reservation because it is a small place.

    Service was slow at first but picked up quickly. Ambiance and food is always great.. lady behind us was laughing her tail off so loud. At first it was annoying but later we were laughing with her.

    I think the Butternut Squash Ravioli was the best thing i ate in 2024. Service was great. Couple beers, a cocktail and two entrees and we were out the door with a nice til for $100. What else can you ask??
