    Funky, casual atmosphere - an old house painted in loud colors, with eclectic furniture and decor. Excellent food, including some basics (The Big Pig sandwich got rave reviews) and a variety of very tasty, interesting dishes, many vegetarian. Live music every night!

    Food and service were great. Music just a little loud. Got there for a very talented piano player but goodness it was loud. Thankfully we finished before the band started. I’m sure we wouldn’t be able to converse once they started.

    Looked pretty cute. We sat for awhile. The food was awful - nachos are nachos. They brought us a bowl of crappy chips with a side of toppings, including clumps of cheese. Service was ok. They were super nice & the patio was pretty good.

    We enjoyed the excellent food, up-scall bar food but perfect for this type of place. We enjoyed the Band, "Diamond Jazz Swing Band". We even did a little dancing off to the side.

    It took over an hour for us to get our meal. The waitress was very nice but looked very overwhelmed. Moroccan platter app was just ok. The chickpeas were burnt so bad that they were inedible. Crab cake was good but they burnt the bun. We would come back to try brunch, but evening dining in the summer outside is a def no unless you want to get attacked by mosquitoes.

    We had a wonderful time. Food was delicious and service was very attentive. We stayed long enough to hear two fun musical groups. Overall an excellent experience.

    If you are only interested in the live music, go and enjoy. But drink was watered down and service was minimally available.
