    Loved the food. Had the croquette and tapenade to start and burgers. They were great. William was lovely and our waitress and hostess were terrific as well. Super chill fun atmosphere.

    Disappointed. The menu is limited for those allergic to gluten. The salmon I ordered as a main course was the portion size of an appetizer. The French fries reminded me of the chip crumbs you encounter at the bottom of the chip bag. The tables were arranged too close. Didn’t feel comfortable speaking on certain things for fear of being heard. Valet parking was full when I arrived. I had to park at Trader Joe’s and walk to the venue.

    It’s great if you like burgers, not a lot of choices if you don’t; pretty inside. Also their draft beer was Miller Lite, yuck
