★★★★★ 5.0 Claudia Ackerman · Jan 2026

Perfect casual, cozy spot with a fabulous concept and excellent food. The food is served Family style. The two of us shared a half roasted chicken, their fabulous sourdough bread (order it- it’s worth it), a leaf salad with house-made mustard vinaigrette dressing, a grapefruit salad with olive tapenade and toasted pistachios (this was a special and crazy good) as well as their side of au gratin potatoes (yumm!). We shared a bread pudding dessert with their house-made roasted pear ice cream. Lovely date night or friends gathering spot. Would not recommend bringing children. Attentive, informed and super friendly service.

I think for a lot of people this restaurant could be 5 stars. The food was prepared very well and the service was great. But the seating feels really on top of each other and I never got a wow moment from the food. I think this could be due to the style of food - it felt very farm to table. Lots of mellow flavors, lots of butter & oil. We enjoyed our experience but I don’t think we’ll return. Very large wine selection, small beer & cocktail selection. Side note - the location is very odd - it’s almost a small house on an industrial street. It didn’t feel unsafe or anything, but certainly a curious walk coming from downtown.

This is now on rotation! What a great place. We lucked into a last minute reservation. Service was impeccable. Food was amazing! Saw room for the olive oil cake with fresh whipped cream. It is amazing. My only regret is that we didn’t get to try ALL the sides. They all looked amazing.

I ordered out and got Chicken Confit... I expected a little more bread than what is shown on the website.. The food is pretty good I must say.. for $15 I kind of expected a little more though.. I would like to post a picture of the bread and what I got. So I added Cheez-Its.... So I'm happy

This place hits all the notes - really pleasant staff, cozy surroundings and a delicious meal. Bonus - sit at the bar and your senses are rewarded with the wonderful aroma drifting out of the kitchen. Wish it were in my neighborhood!
