   Had a 7pm reservation. Ordered a ton of food and drinks. At 9 pm we had just finished dessert and were still finishing drinks when the manager? Came over and said their next party was there and we had to leave….wth. Food was good but his actions left a bad taste in our mouth.

   In short, outstanding food without a hint of pretense. It's become popular for restaurants to start your evening by asking you "would you like bottled water - sparkling or still?" The intention is obvious - sell you a $12 bottle of water that's no better than what comes out of the tap. They won't ask you that here. Nor will you find white tablecloths. What you will find is some of the most delicious and creative shared dish dining in Las Vegas. The restaurant is tucked into an eccentric building at the corner of 6th and Carson, just a block or so off of Fremont Street in the arts district. About half of the tables are outside in largely unadorned courtyard that is more the space between two buildings than anything else. But then the food arrives. There is so much creativity on this menu. Where else are you going to find "hot dog burnt ends?!" I had to order these just to find out what they were. They were absolutely delicious segmented hot dog style sausages, charred (or maybe smoked) tossed in a delicious BBQ sauce. They are served with sliced pickles and a piece of white bread. I'd go back for this dish alone. We were a party of three so we tried lots of shared dishes. We started with one (or was it two) of their specialty cocktails, all of which were wonderful. Stand out dishes included crispy skin trout in curry. Absolutely delicious!! Black (forbidden) rice and oxtail "risotto." A perfect accompaniment to other dishes, or eat it alone - no one will judge you! Killer Shrimp rocoto & aji amarillo pepper cream - these were deep fried to crispy perfection and we fought over the last few bites. For dessert: Bourbon Fudge Brownie with brown butter bacon and ice cream. Ridiculously good. T-shirt wearing servers were friendly and attentive. I can't wait to go back and try some more of their dishes. Jerk Turkey Burger with mango chutney slaw? Yes, please!

   Enjoyed the Devil’s eggs and the steak with spicy pesto. Friendly service. A good choice in downtown Vegas.

   Food was tasty, but unfortunately our appetizer arrived just after our entrees, and the appetizer was cold. No real explanation given. Otherwise it was ok.

   Took a friend here who was visiting from out of town. Bianca was our server and was AWESOME! The three things I always order are the chicken skins, the bacon jam and the pork belly (of course we had mimosas). My friend could not stopping about how great the service was and how excellent the food was!! Highly recommend!!

    Food was fresh and employees welcoming. We sat on the back patio and it was a beautiful night and nice atmosphere. The beet salad was so good!
