    Without a doubt, the food was very flavorful. The tacos on the happy hour menu in particular are perfect. However, these positives were a bit undermined by the lackluster service. Overall we felt a bit rushed through the meal, items weren’t coursed out despite us waiting a bit between ordering appetizers and mains. To our benefit, a food runner left an incorrect dish on our table faster than we could object, so we got a freebie. All that to say, I would definitely dine here again to try some other menu items and give the service another chance. Seriously so tasty though!

    Thank you for a wonderful meal. The fried mac and cheese was sooo good and something we will come back for! We always love the brussel sprout appetizer, paper plane cocktail, and the staff at your restaurant. Thank you!

    I've heard a lot about this restaurant, so we finally went there to try it out. It was OK. I liked the food, but it wasn't amazing. They put an egg on everything, which was a little odd. The Duck Fat Fries were super crispy, but they put a runny egg on them, which ruined half the fries. And the dipping sauce had little flavor. My husband got the beef shoulder, which was tasty and good, but there was an egg on it. And it was like pot roast from the crock pot, nothing too spectacular for the price. I got the Farm Salad which was pretty good but, drowning in dressing. The wine selection was OK and the server was great and attentive. I was disappointed overall after all I had heard about this place.
