    We were here by chance based upon the valet recommendations at our hotel, and it was absolutely…read morefabulous. Happened to be our 28th wedding anniversary, and didn't have reservations, but were able to be seated immediately at the bar, with Brook(e)? as our bartender. First, the outdoor alley entrance is fun/non-assuming. Once in, the decor is moody and perfectly dark/speak-easy-ish, much like a private underground club. Very impressive. We had cocktails/wine and ordered the Wedge Salad and the Ceaser Salad. Both were amazing, but my husband stated that the Ceaser was the best he had ever had. My Wedge Salad had bountiful amounts of flavorful blue cheese and amazing bacon chunks that made this the best salad I had ever had. We then ordered the petite filet (Medium) and Brussel sprouts and put a chocolate cake on order "to go". Highly recommend all of the above. The chocolate cake is "go big or go home" for sure. It hardly fit in two combined to go boxes. It was chocolatey, not overly dense, and the frosting complimented it perfectly! We cannot give enough high praise to Brook for the recommendations and for just making it a super fun vibe. I would gladly book a flight from San Diego just to go to dinner again at this place! Thanks for the special night!

Now, they blew the service on this night. Totally missed being our salads...before the entrees were already coming to the table. Open way late for dinner...that's awesome.

They definitely have their own twist on things. The sweet potatoes were good but a little heavy on the nutmeg. They tasted like a mix of apple and pumpkin pie. The mac and cheese was really creamy. I really liked the horseradish coleslaw. I'm not a big fan of collard greens but I still tried them and actually thought they were pretty good. For our mains, two of us had the brisket and one had ribs. Both were super good. There were 4 different sauces. I recommend trying them all. I wanted to try the sausage but they were sold out. I guess you need to get there earlier than an hour before they closed. We finished with a couple desserts. The banana pudding was probably the best I've had. Their seasonal cobbler was blueberry and very tasty! I was hoping for peach. Maybe next time. Yes there will definitely be a next time. It was a lot of food so we had plenty left over that ate for lunch the next day. The atmosphere is super friendly and really clean. Like most barbecue places I've been to there is no table service. You order and pay at the counter. Then depending on how busy they are they will bring your food to your table or have you pick up at the counter. For me the cherry on top is their pay it forward meal. For $15 you can buy a meal for someone in need. They hand you a receipt that you pin to a board. Then when someone needs a meal they can go in and grab one off the board. They offer them their lunch special. While I was there I saw a very grateful individual come in and get a meal. The staff were super nice and treated them just like any other customer. Great food! Great service! Great value! Do yourself a favor and try this place!

    4/17 Lunch Server Jayni…read more Service was perfect, Jayni was an amazing server, she was very helpful and attentive! Appetizer Lemon Pesto Shrimp Very great combination between the richness of the pesto and tangy goat cheese, it complements the shrimp very well. It also just a great dip for the pizza points. Only down side is, since it is a super rich flavor, it makes you want a different taste after a while. I recommend eating half before and then the rest after or during your main. 8/10 Main Margherita Bohemian What can I say, the sweetness of the grape tomatoes and sauce goes perfect with the mozzarella and basil. Crust was great, personally would have requested a little more well done if I went again, but that didn't take anything from the experience! 9.25/10 Dessert When I say Jayni did an amazing job, I mean she did great. She offered the tiramisu and although it wouldn't have took much, convinced us for a slice. No complaint there, delicious. 9/10 Perfect spot for a date or just a mid work lunch. Would recommend!

It was spacious and clean, with pretty throw pillows and even some blankets if you got chilled. The server was nice. She was working hard on a large table and the rest of the patio to herself and still did a great job staying attentive to us. Okay, lets talk food. Um, delicious! If you are looking for a unique pizza place, this is it. We ordered the funghi pizza and added sausage. It was packed full a mushrooms and the flavor was amazing. It had a mild red sauce and some kind of delicious garlic oil. If you like mushrooms, you cannot pass this one up. We also ordered the cacio e pepe pasta. You could tell instantly that it was real, homemade pasta. It had a beautiful, creamy sauce. I liked it and my husband loved it. We are already talking about going back on a nice evening when the patio lights are on and having a cocktail and trying another pizza and pasta. Food 9/10 Patio 9/10 Service 10/10 Again, if you want a unique pizza experience, this is the place :)
