    The menu, drinks and ambience made it a perfect brunch experience for friends gathering to celebrate and catch up. Jesse our server was exceptional, and made the occasion extra special.

    This place is a little gem. We had a group of 5 for lunch and everyone loved their food. The menu has a good selection for every taste at a reasonable price. The beer and cocktail menu should cover just about anyone’s needs. Service was prompt and our server was very attentive. In all, we had a great lunch here!!

    We went for brunch. Bloody Mary's are pretty good, ordered spicy but could have used even more spice. We like the mimosa flight so you can pick your own juices with a bottle of prosecco. Enjoyed the breakfast tacos, chicken fried steak, benedicts. The server rang in the wrong entree for one person, admitted it, then by the time the entree arrived, the rest of us were all done w/our food! Not good. We had to flag her down several times to order drinks, get the check.

    The food was good but the portions were not large enough for what we paid. The ambiance was similar to a bar with prices like a five star restaurant.

    great service. great fish tacos. good bar selection. terrible french dip - grocery store sliced cheap roast beef heated up (burned) in a frying pan. seems strange that a place like this would offer such a marginal sandwich for $17 no less.

    Awesome neighborhood restaurant. The food is really good as are the drinks. The staff is so nice and the owner is usually there hustling with the staff.
