There were lots of things I wanted to try on the menu and opted for the southwest bowl. It had a bit too many crunchy noodles on the top but other than that, it was really good and a nice refreshing summer dinner. Huge fresh avocado was a plus. Loved the glass my Sauvignon Blanc was served in. There was one server for all the tables and she did a great job. Impressive that she took our 8 drink orders without taking notes and got them all right. Great stop.

We split fried green beans to start which were hot and crunchy - exactly what we were looking for. Then, we split a meaty pizza (I think it was a medium) and it came out on a thin crust.

It was during Covid, they were good at having tables spaced out and hand sanitizer all along the bar. They all wore masks too. A couple things that I noticed is one of the women were sitting at the bar like a customer until we came in and then she scurried around behind the bar. The other lady that was our server wasn't very attentive and it wasn't that busy. Maybe it was to keep distance during Covid. The food and drinks were good. I would definitely go back there for more pizza. The pizza was large enough for 3 meals for the two of us but good. I thought it was one of the best taco pizzas that I had ever had. I took pictures of the extensive menu for your pleasure.

The brisket eggrolls were boring .. literally brisket, deep fried with BBQ sauce. The steak was unseasoned and served room temp (notice even the butter placed on top did not melt). I specifically asked if the grilled hamberry sandwich was actually grilled.. waiter stated Yes. Well no.. it was pieces of toast with the insides placed between. The cheese was not even melted. Thr saving grace were the mash potatoes and homemade chips .. super flavorful!!!

The Good: The…read morehomemade chips were amazing. The food was really good and came quick. They aren't lying when they say they have an amazing club sandwich. The bad: Beware of what you're ordering. We walked in for lunch and it looked like we were inconveniencing them. One of the staff literally sat at the bar for a few minutes staring at us before going on the other side to serve us. They clearly didn't want people in the bar area even though it was open. I ordered a bloody and it came in a small cocktail glass, not a pint glass like pictured, with an olive and a pickle. Which wasn't a big deal since I didn't order a done up one, but when I noticed it was $8.50 due to an up charge for Tito's (which makes sense) I felt like I was in the city. I then ordered a Windsor 7 and it was served in a pint glass. I was happily surprised it came in a larger glass and felt they had redeemed themselves.... until the bill came. Without ordering it "tall" or a double I was uncharged $1.50 for it being tall. All I'll say is if you order drinks here make sure you are specific or the staff will take advantage and up-charge you.

Here's my review of the food we ordered: Cocktail of the hour - aka "Golden Hour" - 8.5/10 Reminded me of mulled cider, notes of honey, very refreshing Pork Belly Steam Buns - 8.1/10 Nice texture, very tender and flavorful Mini Banh Mi - 7/10 Not bad, would have preferred the more traditional pork filling Crispy Chicken- 8.7/10 This really surprised me, from appearance the chicken didn't look that special but it was well seasoned and the sweet chili glaze really stole the show and elevated this dish! Mirabelle Smash Burger - 8.9/10 I'm a sucker for smash burgers and this one did not disappoint. Nice crispy bun and a special mustard sauce that we enjoyed and a different flavor I don't usually have on my burger Sticky Ribs - 5/10 Unfortunately these were quite dry and was comparing to sticky ribs I had last week at CoV that were fall off the bone Overall good spot, service, atmosphere, and would be happy to return. Prices were also great for happy hour.

Very close to the lake(walking distance) There is a free parking ramp right behind the building. The decor of this place is cute! The details seem like they were well thought out! It feels upscale and cozy! I saw a video of this place and that was what originally drew me in! The seating here is also comfortable and not over crowded. Our server was ok. I saw so many raves about the "amazing service." She did refill our water glasses, which was good because I needed it with the salty steak! Obviously the most important piece is the food. We started with the popovers. The taste was fine but the texture was almost over done. The honey butter was lacking honey flavor. Cinnamon would have really elevated the butter! I got the steak frites and my sister got the spaghetti. My fries were average. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium all the way through! I was impressed. However, it was drowning in a VERY salty sauce! I had push a lot of it off. This should be served on the side, not covering the whole steak. My sister got the spaghetti, which our waitress explained was not a regular spaghetti. I feel she has probably had to do that multiple times and honestly, it should just be renamed. It's confusing for the customer. My sister did say she enjoyed the dish and that the shrimp was ere done well. For dessert I got "Aunties iced latte" which is their version of like an espresso martini. It was just ok. Would not get again. We got the carrot cake which was good!! But then they ruined it by putting fake whipped cream.... This is supposed to be a higher end restaurant and that made the dessert feel so cheap. We also got the creme brûlée. DO NOT ORDER THAT! It is an absolute waste of money! The sugar top was so thick we couldn't eat it! The dessert had the consistency of scrambled eggs, not a smooth custard. The taste seemed ok, but whoever made this does not know what they are doing! Overall, the food was not memorable and a lot of it was done poorly. There are definitely better restaurants in the area.
