Customer Reviews
Great holiday atmosphere (Dec ‘25) and the service was good. My friend and I tried the relish plate, and then I had the savory beef ramen and my friend had the chicken Marsala gnocchi. They serve some bread and spread at the table as well that was tasty. The relish tray was good but didn’t really care for the deviled eggs. My ramen was decent but really salty. And the gnocchi was ok but also too salty. I’d give this place another shot maybe but would probably try something else instead.
The vibe and atmosphere of this restaurant was perfect. Has a retro look and the decor is well done to accompany the look. Food was served quickly and waiter was great. Wasn't too crowded but even with a crowd there are settings to allow customers to have a conversation in a space that seems separated from the other tables.
Awesome atmosphere it’s like hanging out inside of a snow globe right now with their Christmas decorations and they have special cocktails that were delicious me and my friend had their specialty bread that they serve at the table. Very good awesome sauce serve with it can’t really tell what type of sauce it is, but I like it.
Fusion American-Asian restaurant and cocktail bar with an eclectic atmosphere. The food is almost French in its buttery richness. -Le Shmashburger is a buttery double smash burger with cheese that requires the banana peppers to cut through it. -Macaroni and cheese is creamy buttery goodness. -The Sacred Cow is a marinated beef and cheese Philly of a masterpiece. -The ramen is very good with marinated grilled pork belly in a thick rich broth.
You start out with a 90 minute time limit. No problem. The server was a little spacey and took a lot of time between visits, but we still got out of there within our time limit. They are decorated for Christmas, and they did a fantastic job! The food was flavorful and unique. Everyone enjoyed their meal. An excellent experience was had by all!!
