Reviews
You order everything at the bar and then they bring it to you and seating is first come first serve which is nice for a weekend crowd. Things move quickly and the service is fast. Limited wine only from a can which was $28 for one can which has two glasses in it if the pricing transparency is helpful to folks. Note on the menu there is some note about $100 fee if you leave your credit card which feels extreme.. other than that the vibe is nice young and fun for the area
SENSATIONAL! Amazing menu and service. Eric always takes such great care of us with lovely cocktails and dinner recommendations. 10/10!
Really great food menu! We were actually so-so on the drinks, but warrants another try. The drinks were fairly straightforward and paired much better with the food than standalone. Low-octane: Castaway - not that offensive but it didn't make me like sherry. Lean&mean: Mad Artist - really strong tasting, not that much to balance it. HOWEVER, the food was a highlight! Favs were the cumin tofu tacos and devil egg. The tacos were so flavorful especially with the green hummus, and really tasty homemade tortilla. The devil egg is a must-order, instead of boring mayo it's a really fragrant chili crisp/ salsa macha. We'll definitely come back for dinner and maybe try some other drinks!
