   Parker House rolls, goat cheese appetizer, duck breast and mushroom gnocchi are very tasty, . Duck had a bit of gristle and gnocchi didn’t need Brussels sprouts. Service is excellent.

   First and foremost, order the Parker House Rolls with Wildflower Butter; holy moly, what a revelation! Booked on a whim around 24 hours, so Outdoor Seating was the only option. I don’t think I’ve ever had such attentive, thoughtful service dining outdoors. Josefo was helpful in navigating the cocktail & food menus. The food itself was fresh, nuanced and delicious. We had the following cocktails, both of which were thoughtful and tasty complements: Get Lucky & Embuscade. We dined on the following: Parker House Rolls, Goat Cheese Mousse, Shallot Tart, Octopus Carpaccio, Duck Breast & Pommes Frites. All together split between two, it was a well-rounded, not-too-heavy, seasonally relevant and satisfying meal. I like octopus, but the carpaccio was so thin that it got lost amidst the pork belly and sauce. It becomes more of a silky textural balance to the other components versus a flavor contender. The Duck Breast was perfection, however the sauce was slightly lacking in acidity. This is all splitting hairs in a meal that was excellent. Would absolutely return for another night out when you want a special dining experience but without having to get too dressed up. Parking in the Civic Center Garage makes this a warm, luxurious yet relaxed experience that’s a short stroll from University Ave.

   We sat at the bar last night and enjoyed an early dinner. The chicken was outstanding. Glad I found the place. My new go-to.

   Very nice place to have dinner o just a drink. The environment is perfect to have a nice conversation. The food was delicious, it’s a little bit expensive, but worth it.
