Terrific service in this small, quaint location. Limited, but well done dinner menu - looks like they have good breakfast/lunch/brunch menus also. Did not have the “wow” factor of other recent “Best New Restaurant ” winners … everything was solid and service was great …. But nothing exceptionally innovative or memorable.

One of the worst values I have experienced. I know prices are high everywhere but this is ridiculous for what they serve. Find somewhere else.

We went for restaurant week and were very underwhelmed with the entire experience. Everything was honestly just okay. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. Food was fine but nothing to write home about.

We really enjoyed this place. It was our first time here. The chopped salad was great as was the burrata app. Lucky burger and fries were very yummy. Salmon poke was average. Was not a fan of the rice that was used.And all the desserts were fair. We would definitely go back, it’s a darling little hidden gem in Old town.

We've been dying to try this place so went last night during the start of Restaurant Week. The place is tiny but very cool. Nice patio, nice bar, just a few indoor tables. Good misters so it should be nice on the patio until the height of the monsoon. The food was mixed. The Chop Salad was very good but it could have used a little more dressing and they didn't toss it for you. The crab & shrimp sandwich was OK. LOTS of bread - too much really. The flavor was quite bland. Good fries. The special restaurant week chocolate torte dessert was quite bland as well. Not much flavor at all. The drinks were good. I can recommend the Breakfast Martini. We'll be back for the salad and drinks and I'd like to try the mac & cheese next time.

We had a delicious meal cooked to perfection. Perhaps the only suggestion I would make would be that the steak be served on a hot plate so it doesn't get cold so quickly. Our next visit will be to try the award-winning Chopped Salad!
