Tonight, I had the Primo Old Fashioned. Its so easy to sip on. Excellent flavor overall and a satisfying bite from the alcohol. I also enjoyed the shawarma bowl. The warm spices on the chicken thigh was so comforting. Overall dish is delicious. Customer service was great!

Super tasty and very friendly staff. Our waiter was incredibly nice and made me want to come back just for the hospitality. Beautiful interior and the food is good. I got the turkey sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese and it was amazing. The raspberry mustard was awesome and the bread was toasted perfectly. Definitely will come back.

I had the pleasure of finally checking out this place and boy was I blown away! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. The atmosphere alone, was incredible. It is cozy and dark. Feels like an intimate small town pub. Perfect for a date ...

This place is incredible and now one of my new favorite restaurants. Ive tried a few different things here but the star of the show is their Bistro Cobb Salad which is literal perfection and I dont even like salads like that. The chefs there deserve a raise cause you can tell its made with love.

The cocktails were amazing. Would definitely return to try others. Everyone loved their dinner entries as well. So those two things were great but to top it off our server was amazing. An all around great experience. Thanks we will definitely return again!
