    I took a friend here who loves good beer and good pizzas - she was happy! We got some oysters, which were fabulous, and shared our meals. She liked the beer selection, and I like their cocktail selection.

    I don’t know what all the fuss is about…. i did not like it. pizza was just okay, burger was just okay, bread was freezing cold, drinks were nothing special. 90 bucks later it was just not worth it. not sure if we’d ever be back & we live within walking distance.

    Fantastic restaurant, we love coming here. The pizza’s are great but don’t miss out on the mushroom toast. There’s always a great selection of oysters, well shucked and super fresh.

    Most of the food was delicious but $24 for only 12 pieces of pasta? That's ridiculous. The drinks were amazing, the service was mostly good (some understandable Valentine's Day struggles like a longer wait for food due to a full restaurant, but having to wait 30 minutes for a table I reserved months ago isn't fun). The flatbread, as usual, was top-notch. I'll definitely come here again, but I'm tentative to get anything other than the flatbreads, drinks, and appetizers due to the portion sizes for the cost.

    The service was prompt and excellent! My friends and I had a variety of the main courses, and couldn’t wait to take the leftovers home.

    My new favorite place to eat! The roasted baby beets, smoked crispy potatoes, arrowhead cabbage, broccolini, mushroom pizza, and New York strip steak are all delicious with amazing flavor!

    The perfect cozy environment and delicious, creative menu for dinner with old friends on an arctic January night. We eat here a lot, it’s always relaxing, low key and stylish, and the staff are true professionals.
