Great bar restaurant in Allentown. Parking is a bit tight but I parked about a block away. Staff was accommodating and on the ball for the most part (I had one drink that was incorrect and they brought a new one immediately). Food is very good and ambiance is nice. A bit noisy but hey, it's a casual place. I highly recommend it.

Went to celebrate Father’s Day and since it’s been rated best brunch, why not. Ordered a blueberry mimosa. Came in a short juice glass, was warm and had zero bubbles. I actually had to add my ice cubes from my water to it. The bloody Mary was a better choice. Food was great and our server was attentive. They were out of waffles but no big deal. 6 of us ate for $150 +tip. Thought that was a very good price for brunch, drinks and a dessert.

Took my Dad here for a Father’s Day Brunch, as we’re both foodies but it was our first time here. It did not disappoint. He ordered the Savory stack (pancakes, eggs, and bacon), and I got the waffle with fruit. Omg fluffy perfect waffle and my Dad agreed his plate was scrumptious, even though I had noticed that it was busy, I have no complaints whatsoever about the service as they were attentive and prompt. Food was out fast, and all (surprisingly) at a more than reasonable price! We will def come back here. Not too crazy about the parking (1 small lot which was full when we arrived so had to subject to street parking but with all the above noted, it was totally worth it!

Our server was very friendly, the outside patio was very pleasant once the music was turned down. The burgers were good but the falafel sandwich was very dry and only fit half of the roll, the fries were excellent. Overall, we liked it, but I wouldn't get the falafel sandwich again.
