   We had an outstanding time! What a great addition to the downtown Fairfield scene. It was busy but so comfortable with a great vibe. We sat inside after enjoying a cocktail on the patio. Our server Kyra was great and helped us through the menu. We shared the Taquitos as well as the Corn on the Cob Ribs apps and then shared the Pork Chop special entree, which was amazing! Great menu with something for everyone. Wonderful Cocktail list with great whiskey selections. Food & Drink pricing is so fair and certainly less than we’re used to paying in the neighborhood. Fun dessert selections (Grown Up Milkshakes!!) all topped off with really cool music. Can’t wait to grab some friends and head back this weekend.

   I took a date here and was nicely surprised by the food and cocktails. Great fun place. Music was eclectic. The server worked hard to please us !  I felt well taken care of. We shared the beet salad. The new fish sandwich was incredibly fresh and my cocktail was the Clockwork Orange made if all Connecticut booze. My date had the pasta special which she loved… Overall I’m going back soon.

   I’ll start by saying I know it was a busy night, but the service was so poor. We arrived on time for our reservation and were seated by a friendly hostess right away. After thirty minutes of sitting my friend asked the hostess who our server was. She replied that there was only one server and she wouldn’t let the hostess help her. It seems like a manager should have stepped in and allowed others to help wait tables or helped out themselves. We finally ordered drinks and an app. Corn on the ribs came out in a reasonable amount of time and were really good. Drinks took a while longer. Espresso martini and aperol spritz did not look or taste good. After another half hour the server brought our check and never asked what we wanted for dinner. We paid, left and walked to another restaurant for dinner. Before arriving my friend and I were looking forward to trying the new to us restaurant. It was pretty disappointing.

   Casual, cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Restaurant is small. Make a reservation! Excellent craft cocktails and bar list. Chicken soup is beyond delicious! Corn ribs were unique and tasty. Although there were many chicken choices on the menu, there were also other options. The chicken was very juicy. And the staff was amazing. Loved this place.

    The cheesey bread appetizer was delicious and so was the bucket of chicken for two. Plenty of tenders/nuggets and good dipping sauce. It was a bit noisy in the winter time but would be better once spring comes, the doors are open and can sit outside.
