This was our first time here, and we went for the special Thanksgiving prix fixe menu (shown in image). Portions and price were good. Food was tasty. The pacing could have been better (slightly slow), but we weren't rushed which was nice, and it was a holiday so understandable. We chose the roasted pumpkin bisque and salad to start; smoked mackerel mousse and duck wings confit; roasted turkey dinner and wild boar ragout; and two berry and chocolate tarts for dessert (not pictured). All were good choices. The atmosphere, decor, and plating were more upscale than "tavern" would imply from the name (as you can see from the photos, it's not typical tavern fare, at least this day). We were very pleased.

From the moment you walk in, you are struck by the design: stylish, modern, warm, and incredibly comfortable. One of those rare places where aesthetics and atmosphere feel effortless yet intentional. And then comes the food — absolutely mind-blowing. I started with a lobster bisque that was rich, velvety, and deeply flavorful. We shared a flatbread with arugula, brie, and figs — perfectly balanced, delicate, and bold at the same time. My husband ordered the burger with foie gras (yes, foie gras!) — indulgent, perfectly executed, and unforgettable. And because we couldn’t resist, we took a brisket Reuben to go… which may not have made it home. Every dish felt thoughtful, creative, and expertly prepared. This is not just a meal — it’s an experience. If you appreciate beautiful design, co

Came here for the first time yesterday with my husband for dinner. We both got the half roasted chicken and it was delicious! So were all the sides it came with. I especially liked how clearly their gluten free and vegan items are. They have a kids menu so I’ll have to bring them next time.

We have eaten there 4 times now. Every time the menu gets larger and the food gets better. Pork banh mi was something to go back for! Burgers and hanger steak were cooked perfectly. The appetizer list has all the classics plus the more creative ones. The presentation of the food is top notch also. Finally the wait staff is delightful, well informed and very funny which makes the whole experience a treat to go out. I believe our waitress's name was Paula I would feel bad if I was wrong. The hostess owner is always graciously helpful every time we come in. She is a super hard worker and very attentive.

★★★★★ 5.0 Melanie Lahti · Jul 2025

Wonderful Sunday brunch experience! The restaurant is completely transformed from the previous Mexican restaurant and we loved the decor. Service was attentive and friendly - we even got a house made "maple buffalo sauce" for my son's chicken tenders upon his request for a special dipping sauce. I had the gravlax rosti and it was fantastic. Fresh dill, pickled scallions, perfect potato pancakes... really delicious. We will definitely be back to try cocktails and the dinner menu!
