This was our first time eating here. The food was some of the best I’ve ever had. It was really delicious. Husband had the duck and I had the burger and we both loved it. The restaurant is small which means tables are close together, but it wasn’t an issue for us considering the food made up for it.

The atmosphere was cozy and festive during my holiday lunch with dad. He and his wife ordered the portobello mushroom burgers and they were tough in the middle so that was a bit disappointing. My risotto with salmon was delicious but a little too heavy on the butter. The cranberry cheesecake was a sweet birthday treat, compliments of the staff. Would definitely come back and try other dishes.

The service was outstanding. Though the lunch menu was limited , the food was good. The location is a bit difficult to find, but it’s in a lovely section of the historic downtown and it’s a nice walk in the blocks around.

The food was amazing - 10/10. We ordered the lamb sliders, duck carnitas tacos, and flank steak with mushroom risotto. The Brussel sprouts were the best I’ve ever had. Service was great! Overall one of the better meals I’ve had in awhile! Would go back again to try brunch.
