3.5 Stars. Not as good as the first visit. Returned here for a group outing. All the starters we…read moregot were solid. The steak I ordered left much to be desired though: it was cooked to medium well (instead of medium) and cut with the grain, making for tough slices of meat. Would come back for lunch over dinner

A bustling spot filled with students, locals, and medical workers alike, this bar is a pretty…read moredecent spot right in the midst of Brigham Circle. Though it can be quite noisy and tight, especially during sporting events, the food and drink isn't bad - especially after a long day at work, making it an alright joint to hang at from time to time. Anyway, decided to go for something on the more regular side: Fish & Chips Honestly, it was pretty decent as the battered fish had a good crunch to it, along with how soft, moist and flaky the cod was. Plus, his item paired well with the Maine Lunch beer, as the crisp refreshing beer contrasts with the grease and oils of the cod and fries. Only real downsides were that the dish felt a bit on the heavy side with how dense the oil felt... along with how the cole slaw was kind of... disappointing, even for what cole slaw typically is. Regardless, would probably pop by again to give this spot another go

Saw photos of their smash burgers and knew that I had to stop by and give it a try…read more Here are the items we tried (as of 2/2026) - Chopped Caesar - $13 - Nicely dressed with some bacon bits on it. Overall nothing special. - Basket O' Fries - $8 (for the classic style) - Flavor wise, this was something we weren't expecting. We had assumed that it would be plain fries, but for some reason it tasted as though it was dusted with a Cajun seasoning. While the fries themselves were nice and crispy, we were not fans of the seasoning (there's no mention of it in the description). Be warned if you're expecting plain fries. Not sure if it was supposed to come like this or not. - "Hell Yeah" Burger - $22 - This was what I came here for and once again (there's a theme here), it wasn't quite what I was expecting. The burger itself was pretty good as it was two 4 oz patties smashed and went well with the other ingredients. The thing that was unexpected was the patties being marinated in a whisky marinade. If you love the flavor of whisky, then this will definitely be for you as I did taste a hint of it in the burger. Unfortunately for me, I enjoy the flavor of beef in a good burger and the marinade masked a lot of it. I do wish there was an option to get patties that aren't marinated. - Nashville Hot Chicken - $16 - A pretty good fried chicken sandwich. To me it was a little heavy on the Cajun seasoning but I really enjoyed the juiciness of the chicken. I'd get this again. Another thing to note is when we were there you order at the bar as there was no strict table service. The food itself was well prepared and the prices are definitely reasonable. The flavors however, didn't quite hit for me, but it may for you!

Wish I was able to try more items (such as the Caribbean salmon bowl), but that means I just have to come back. My favorite dish (not pictured) was the Griot Dinner! The combination of the house rice with creole sauce, crispy pork (little to no fat, which I prefer), and the pikliz was chef's kiss! I'll be thinking about this meal for a while. Service was attentive even when it got busy. It's a lounge so it'll be a little loud, but I didn't mind because I came for the food. The music was good and the place was popping!

My family and I had reservations at Fete for Mother's Day at 1:15 PM for 4 people: myself, my…read moremother, my 92-year-old grandmother, and my 6-year-old daughter. I even called ahead to let them know we were running about 10 minutes behind and was told it would be perfectly fine. When we arrived, there was no one at the front to even check us in. My family stood waiting while I parked the car, and it took about 10-15 minutes before a hostess finally appeared. Once acknowledged, they attempted to seat my 92-year-old grandmother at a high-top table, which was completely inappropriate. After declining, we had to wait again for another table. Once seated, we were given only 3 menus for a party of 4 and told someone would return with a kids menu for my daughter. That kids menu never came. After sitting there for around 20 minutes with no service, someone finally came over to take our order: 2 French toast dishes, 2 lamb chop dishes, bacon, orange juices, and a lemon drop tree. We asked if the vodka could be substituted with tequila, and the waitress said she'd check. She disappeared and never returned. Another waitress later came and made us repeat the exact same order all over again. We were also told there were no tater tots available, only fries. I specifically requested that if the French toast dishes were ready first, to please bring them out so my grandmother and daughter could eat without waiting. Then came another 30-45 minute wait. When the drinks finally arrived, they were completely wrong and looked nothing like what was advertised on the menu. The "lemon drop tree" didn't even come with the presentation shown online or in the menu. The drinks were all served in random mismatched cups. One even had visible residue on the rim, and when my mother pointed it out, the waitress brushed it off saying it was from the lemon garnish and walked away. The orange juices NEVER arrived. When the French toast finally came out, it was burnt to an absolute crisp and had to be sent back. Nearly an hour later, the lamb chops arrived... with tater tots. Funny, considering we were told they didn't have any. By that point, my mother and I had to share our food with my grandmother and child because their meals still had not come out. My eggs were also cooked incorrectly. We asked another waiter for ketchup. He never came back either. The replacement French toast never arrived. The bacon never arrived. The orange juice never arrived. Our waitress avoided our table the entire time and only briefly came over to apologize and claim they were "backed up." Meanwhile there were maybe 10 tables in the entire restaurant. There is absolutely no excuse for service that poor. After being there from around 1:30 PM until almost 4 PM, we finally asked for a manager. The woman who appeared to be the hostess apologized and said our meals would be comped and we'd only have to pay for the drinks. Even THAT was ridiculous. We were charged $60 for the lemon drop tree, plus an additional fee just to substitute tequila, plus tax, plus gratuity, plus another fee if paying cash, bringing the total to about $85 for drinks that weren't even what was advertised. This was honestly one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. We left hungry, frustrated, and angry, then had to figure out somewhere else to feed both my elderly grandmother and young child after sitting there for nearly 3 hours. Definitely NOT the Mother's Day experience we were hoping for.

The spicy sauce and guava sauce perfectly complemented the fried bites. The legendary steak tips were perfectly cooked and so tender. It was paired with a Mac salad and French fries. The half chicken was also surprisingly filling and satisfying. Both dark meat and white meat are served with green beans and mashed potatoes. The whole meal left no crumbs.
