Customer Reviews
Would recommend making a reservation. We sat at the bar, where the service was quick and the bartender was very attentive. The food was okay, however, the fried chicken tasted a bit stale, like it wasn’t fresh. Portions are on the smaller side, so it’s more of a place to chat and enjoy a small bite rather than have a full meal.
One of my favorite spots downtown to grab dinner or a drink and a quick bite! Good vibes all around and great food and drinks!! (ask about the drink specials!). Also the donuts are heavenly they melt in your mouth🖤
The food is phenomenal... & don't sleep on the doughnuts. I've now tried every food item on the menu and the only disappointment was the kimchi tots (the tots are not crispy enough to withstand the sauce and the cheese to kimchi ratio is off.) The service is consistent, though they need one more server on the floor and/or a second bartender during rush and full-house nights. The servers are very friendly and helpful with questions and suggestions! The atmosphere is fun and lively! And the bathrooms are 10/10.
For what I ordered, I don’t feel the $71 total was justified. The 6 chicken wings were $12, the tiger noodles were $15, the tuna taco was $11, and the pineapple drink was $8. I’m not sure of the exact price of the Painkiller, but overall the cost did not match the value or experience. The service was slower than expected, especially since the restaurant did not appear to be very busy, despite the server mentioning otherwise. There were several open seats available. While I understand seating can sometimes be limited, we were initially placed at the bar on small chairs with dishes stacked on the counter in clear view, which was not appealing. We decided to move outside near the heaters, but there was no heat on, which made it uncomfortable. I also noticed that everything we ordered was fr
We wanted to try something a bit different and this place did not disappoint. We tried several dishes and everything was spectacular. Super flavorful. And save room for dessert. The outdoor seating was great.. covered, comfortable and could lightly hear the music.
