    Sandra was our waitress, and she was absolutely excellent. Her recommendation for the steak temperature was spot-on—it came out perfectly cooked. We ended up ordering three different dishes because everything sounded so good, and each one delivered. The food was beautifully seasoned, and the shrimp and crab cake tasted incredibly fresh. This was our first visit, and we were celebrating a birthday, which made the experience even more special. I really appreciated how intimate and beautiful the restaurant felt—it’s the perfect setting for small, one-on-one gatherings.

    This is a great spot for having a thoughtfully crafted dish without it feeling like an overly fancy atmosphere. The food was fantastic and each had its own unique identify which helped to prevent the food menu from getting bloated. The starters which I took pics and vids of were all very yummy. The bread is made in-house and delicious with every dish. For the main meal I got the hamburger which was delicious and the bun didn’t disappoint. Would highly recommend this spot!

    We took our son here to celebrate his birthday and really enjoyed our dining experience. We sat outside and the ambience was perfect. Our food was delicious with generous portions. We had the crab cake for a starter and it more crabmeat than filling. I really enjoyed the pork schnitzel. I could not finish it the portion was so large. Our son had the duck and my husband had the steak frites. It was a lovely dinner celebration.

    Great spot. We had lunch. Parking sucks. Get ready to walk. DO NOT PARK ACROSS THE STREET IN THE LOT. They will boot your car and make you pay $100 to get it off. Anyway…this spot is perfect for a casual lunch or work lunch. They have a decent wine selection, tasty stuff. The food was good too, HUGE portions. You could easily share a salad with two people. Sandwiches and burgers are very yummy. Fries are obviously incredible. I’d recommend a reservation. Lots of cute outdoor seating with little cozy spots for intimate conversations.

    Good food, well priced and what we tried was well balanced but they seated us in the patio’s “exile corner,” a boxed-in little nook that looks exactly like it sounds: wedged between a blank wall, a utility-style brick structure facing a whole lot of nothing. We actually had a reservation, and when we asked to move, we were told the nicer tables were “reserved”.....awkward, since those seats stayed empty our entire visit. The servers were lovely but couldn't make any recommendations, but the overall vibe had that quiet hint of “you’ll be fine out here,” which didn’t make us want to linger or sample more. We even thought about coming back with friends ...strength in numbers, right? ... but decided once was enough.
