There is literally fun everywhere you look from the panda stuffed animal riding a tiger on the wall to the hilarious shrek pillow. Coming right when they open I was able to see these things that you would likely not see in the evening. But to be fair I came right when they opened since it is first come first serve. A majority of the drinks were more on the savory side which was very interesting like "may all your bacon burn" with bacon bites at the top of the drink. The drinks my friend had were all stunning with the use of egg yolk to elevate the drink. We ended the evening by walking over to Bow Market and trying Viet Citron which was so DANG GOOD my gosh. The to go orders were insane but looks like they are doing very well despite recently opening in. I got the grilled lemongrass pork ribs bowl and youtiao and the side sauce was so good. The ribs were all very meaty. It looks small but I was surprised how full I was after having it. Nice night of drinks and food.

My question is why aren't more people here? It was Friday evening and busy but it should be jammed. Good quality food, great drinks. My feedback for the restaurant- the perfume in ladies room air freshener made me feel really sick and almost ruined my appetite. The name of the restaurant doesn't catch anyone's attention? Maybe that's why? Otherwise great spot! Excellent food.

The chips were great (I think they were home made), and the guacamole was tasty, it was just a pretty small serving for the price. Our table had 5 different entrees and they were all good. Our salad was unique with lentils and roasted beets. We swapped the mango dressing for a lemon vinaigrette. The half pound burger was cooked perfectly. The home made beef short rib ragu had really good flavor. Overall a very solid dinner.

Nice cocktail menu (but we didn't partake...). Casual diner-ish seating around an old school bar with a cool take on breakfast classics. The biscuit with butter and hot honey is big (share it) and outstanding. Our awesome server recommended the burrito ... but we went with a classic breakfast plate (great bacon) and their unique take on chilaquiles ... delicious all around. Can tell a lot about a restaurant by how they handle a hiccup. One of our dishes came out cold, and they were quick to remake it with courtesy, professionalism, and an apology. Bravo. Five stars for service, food, and ambience. Highly recommend.
