    Overall service = 7/10 (server was great but food took way too long) Appetizer - Shrimp Fritters = 10/10 Drinks - 8/10 Soup - 0/10 (tasted like an over-chlorinated pool) Burger - 3/10 (over cooked, lettuce was over saturated with something that tasted sour, patty was way too big, bun was too small, bacon wasn’t bacon but pork belly and inedible) Fries - 5/10 (mediocre at best)

    I highly recommend the brisket, the gnocchi, and especially the amaretto sour! Service was impeccable. I loved showing this hidden gem to my friend who was in from Boston. He loved it!
