    The space has been updated to an elegant but casual atmosphere with pleasing tones and soft lighting. The food we ordered was simple but tasty. We started off with the Barrata and roasted grapes. It was very good and the accompanying bread is outstanding. Could have used a few more roasted grapes to make the dish great. I had the smashburger which was perfect and is reminiscent of a great diner burger. My girlfriend had the chicken sandwich which was incredible! Highly recommend the chicken sandwich! We both ordered a side of fries which were crinkle style and seasoned well. They were very good, not exceptional. Side note: An online Mellotone menu features an Ahi tuna sandwich which is no longer on the current menu. We are both IPA fans and really enjoyed the home brewed Golden Hour West Coast IPA. It was crisp and clean but still hoppy and not overly bitter.
