Looking at the picture we knew we had to give it try. What cool comfortable place with lots of history behind the building. The owner served us lunch and provided a history behind the restaurant, the recipes and where they get their food products. Their bread is local and their meat is from Usinger's in Milwaukee, WI. I love that place and their products. Well let's get onto the food. I was brave and had the Smoked Liverwurst. Hadn't had it for 30 years. Since I went fishing with my grandfather. Boy it was awesome and brought back some memories. The owner gave me large slices of bread so I could make a sandwich. The mustard and fresh onions made it! My two colleagues were craving hot dogs, so they went with the Yoerg Sandwich. It's the flagship sandwich. A quartier pound dog with German cheese and a pickle spear. It was huge and tasty to say the least. It was only $9.95. Great price for lunch these days. We also had to share a pretzel that came with cheese and mustard. This has earned a spot on our lunch rotation.

Today was probably the best brunch we have had here, both Doll and I agreed. I had two over easy eggs, doll had the scrambled eggs. The duck was a leg & thigh that Grant had saved for me!!! Last time it was crispy but the meat was tough. Not today. My fork just pierced easy, right through the meat, and the butter knife just went right though it. Even the toast and hashbrowns were spot on. Home made sourdough with nice grill marks, swipe of clarified butter, and perfect moistness to the bread. Hash browns, perfect. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. I want to call out the bread and hash browns. Nick was making those and he nailed it. Simple sides, but oh so important to the meal. Thank you Grant, Nick, and crew!

Pizza is of course a perfect pairing to beer, and you can get ice cream to do a float with root beer or a sweet imperial stout (seriously, get it, so good). Ok, so why three stars? First, OMG sugar. The pizza sauce is sweet, and then they put honey on everything. I get it, bee themed, commit to the bit, but that did not go well with beer. Second, you're serving yourself, ordering at the counter, busing your own table... but unless you alter it, it's a 20% automatic tip on everything. I'm a believer in tipping, but not when there isn't any actual service. This is a norm right now for self pour places and I hate it.

This breakfast burrito is packed full of everything you could ever want including wagyu steak (instead of the traditional bacon or sausage, so it's not greasy at all), avocado, eggs, potatoes, and cheese. It even came with a side salad and salsa to dip it in! For $15-16 it was a large portion and easily was 2 meals. I ordered online for pickup and it was ready quickly at the counter but the restaurant also looked cute inside so I would be interested in stopping in for a meal sometime too!

The atmosphere of the place gives a nice relaxed and colorful vibe, and the drinks and food menu had a stunning variety. The music was performed by Javier Hernandez and his band and was beautiful. The music here will change day to day, but on this Friday evening ours was beautiful. It included piano, trumpet, bongos, drums and bass. Staff were all attentive without being overbearing and allowed us to enjoy the music, and the food ended up being fantastic. We got deviled eggs (some of the best I've ever had) and Okonomiyaki which in this case was a variation of fried sweet potato and was delicious. Drink variety ranges from fruity cocktails to wine to N.A. beer and they had something for everyone.

Since we didn't have a reservation, we arrived early and were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. From the moment we walked in, we loved everything about the place. The décor is beautiful, the ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff was fantastic. The menu offers so many great options, and the cocktails were even better than expected. Our server, Rosie, provided excellent recommendations, and we genuinely loved everything we ordered. They also offer a great happy hour until 6 PM, which is a nice bonus. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I highly recommend giving it a try. One small note: We didn't realize a 20% gratuity had already been added to our bill. That's partially on us for not catching it on the credit card slip, (we tipped in cash) but I do think it would be helpful if servers mentioned it when presenting the check. I typically prefer to tip in cash, so on our $62 tab, we ended up leaving a $34 tip. Even with that little surprise, we'll absolutely be back. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all worth another visit!
