“Had a nice evening out for dinner with my wife recently. The service was a real standout. There was an issue with a beverage that we needed replaced, and our server and the management went above and beyond expectations. Our food was excellent, and we had something new to both of us which was the fried sugar kelp. It was surprisingly delicious! Deep fried in a light tempura-style batter and served with a dipping sauce. Kelp is way better than kale! Food was excellent, service was exemplary. Note that it is very LOUD in there, so keep that in mind if you're looking for a quiet vibe. Looking forward to our next visit!”
“You'll get amazing cocktails and great food in a warm, upscale but approachable restaurant. The bartender uses a real egg white for your whiskey sour. Highly recommend the bean and broccoli rabe dish that would be topped if it only came with a side of toast. Otherwise it was flavorful and filling.”
“Cool vibe .. the drinks were really good. the food was great. Some of the best fish and chips I've had. Also that grilled banana bread.. wow”
“It's absolutely beautiful inside. The bartender was super friendly and we wanted to stay longer but only had time for a drink and some oysters. The dirty gin martini was perfect and his cocktail was too. The oysters were ready quickly and super clean and fresh. I cannot wait to come back and crush more of this amazing looking menu.”
