It's a great, chill and lowkey vibe if you're not looking for a loud and crowded bar. Their food selection is so good with a wide range of grilled cheeses as well! They have a rotating menu of drinks that they do at the bar and the service is great. The bartenders are personable and kind and always open to giving you a sample before you decide on a drink. Definitely worth a visit! There is a small lot in the front, I've never struggled to get parking before but would be cautious if you're going on a Friday or Saturday night!

Chicken thighs | Seating | Service…read more Chicken Thighs - The chicken thighs are surprisingly filling. Each order comes as one large deboned piece of meat, which is then cut into bite-sized pieces--easy to eat by hand or with a fork. They're available in a variety of flavors. I ordered them dry and got several sauces on the side to mix things up. Highly recommend. Seating - The restaurant has a surprising amount of seating. There's just as much indoor seating as there is outdoor, and possibly even more inside thanks to the bar and high-top tables. It's a great spot to start your night, end your night, or enjoy happy hour with friends after work. Service - For a bar, I thought the service was really good. Multiple waiters checked in on us, and we never had to wait for water or anything else. The recommendations they gave were great, and they stayed attentive throughout the night--even though it was moderately busy when we went. Pro tip: Be prepared to sit inside if you're hoping for a meaningful conversation--the street noise outside is quite loud. Between the main thoroughfare and the neighboring restaurants in the same alcove, it can get pretty noisy. If you value good conversation, you'll definitely want to opt for indoor seating. Pro tip: There isn't much parking in the area, so give yourself an extra 5-10 minutes when planning your visit.

Adding insult to injury is that you add tips before the service! We won't be back.

Sometimes the kitchen has bright spots, but it's worth exploring options just to see what you can find in a visit. One of their weakest spots typically is their coffee bar, where I just haven't found anything that has really hit. Have always wanted them to go curate a litttle more there over the years of retries. We usually opt for other beverages because of this recurring issue, which they offset by having a nice cooler set. We often come with books to slow the visit down.

Why bother ordering types of drinks? They have a big jugs of tea and lemonade at the stand. We tried a couple of seasonal menu items. Ordered the ricotta pancakes with peach compote. Usually, the ricotta is baked into the pancakes in the recipes I see. These pancakes were totally dry with a huge wallop of ricotta spread on top with canned peaches on the side. Extremely dry. I had to go to the counter and ask for maple syrup. Still, I would definitely never order this again. The pancakes were not only dry, but also hard. The feta avocado spread with flatbread is spicy. It doesn't say that on the menu. The flatbread is nice, but the spread is a bit too spicy for my taste. At least the staff are friendly. Again, people love this place, I don't. This is the third time I've tried it. I won't be back.

While a scramble sounds simple on paper, it is easy to overcook the vegetables. This one was executed perfectly, with every vegetable done just right. The thin-sliced potatoes were highly seasoned and stood out, moving away from the standard, heavy breakfast spuds you get at most places. The presentation across the board was excellent. The latte arrived with a nice touch--a small side cookie and a club soda to cleanse the palate, which shows a level of intentionality you don't always find. The staff members were incredibly friendly and gracious from start to finish. With fast Wi-Fi and a comfortable environment, it is an ideal spot to get some quality laptop time. It's a great addition to the local lineup.

I also got the OG style of grill pork, with shredded pork and meat loaf on broken rice. A dish that is getting harder to find anywhere. My wife got the banh xeo. It was a bit oily and the shrimp tail was annoying to remove. Nonetheless, interesting dish worth trying at least one time. Will definitely go back and try more dishes. Their prices are reasonable.

Today a middle-aged waitress gave me an attitude when she took our order. She looked at me several times like she was disapproving of me, although I believe I looked pleasant, well-kept, and professional. The waitress literally stared me down, with an attitude like "I'm better than you." WTF? I come here to kindly eat at your restaurant, I was dressed casual, not dressed to show off or flaunt anything that I have. If it were not for the presence of my companion I would probably have complained to the assistant manager about the waitress' rude behavior. Furthermore, a comment or two on the quality of the food. The seafood bird's nest dish had minimal portions of seafood -- four small shrimp, two small scallops, and three small pieces of squid with less-appetizing pieces of vegetables -- all for $23! Moreover, the shaky beef dish was dipped in baking soda or baking powder, making the dish tastes quite bitter.The bitter taste could hardly mask the fact that the beef cubes have been sitting around for a few days --the meat were partially rotting. Three dishes cost us $71. including tax, We left the restaurant still feeling hungry. Please, dear waitress, you don't own the place, please have better customer service, or we will unfortunately air our grievances on online reviews like this one!
