What People Say

Diners rave about the creative menu, featuring everything from elevated burgers to inventive vegetable-forward dishes. The cocktail program is a standout, with clever takes on classics and a strong wine list. Many note the attentive staff and the cozy, unpretentious setting as big pluses.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the restaurant can get a bit tight during busy hours, and tables are close together—so it's not the spot for a private conversation. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and concert nights.
