    Wedge salad
    Jack H.

    Decided to pop in for lunch and give this place a spin. Like some other bougie places that have opened recently around Pensacola, the prices are a bit off-putting, but having gone for a 7 mile trundle on 3 mile bridge earlier in the day, I was craving fat and salt. They hit that mark, but it cost me $40 with tax & tip. That is for just a salad and an order of french fries! The water came quickly in a real glass and tasted excellent. Very clean and cold, and greatly appreciated. Since it was a real glass I did not ask for a straw which is unusual for me. I enjoyed a nice view of the skatepark across the street as I dined, and watching all the people having a good time in the outdoors was refreshing. Most restaurants don't offer a view like this. There are a set of dining bars with chairs at the windows on either side of the door to amplify the view, but I opted for a traditional table since there were many available when I entered. As for the food... well, it was good, but not great. The $14 iceberg wedge was dotted with some delicious pancetta and gorgonzola cheese, and the lettuce was super fresh and crisp. Where it missed the mark was the overly mayonnaisey dressing. It really needed some more seasoning or something and I could not taste any buttermilk at all, even though it is called a "herb buttermilk dressing." The single cherry tomato (halved) was delicious and sweet, as were the 4 thin slices of radish. While the presentation was nice, it really needed more tomatoes and radish in my opinion, and a stoutly buttermilk dressing. The duck fat fries were crisp, too crisp. I enjoy the soft mushy potato inside the crispness of lard-fried potatoes, but very few of these offered that. They were generally too crisp, and some were crispy all the way thru making them a solid crisp. They came mostly unseasoned so I had to use the salt shaker generously. The sausage bits were good but a bit on the greasy side. The dipping sauce was mild, bland and oily, and I wished they had offered a ketchup alongside as well. Whether homemade or store bought, ketchup would have added color and some much needed acidity to the plate. Your mileage will vary, but for me, there are better options in my price range and this is not a place I can take hungry teenagers.

    Appetizer: Sautéed mussels
    Dai D.

    This is a nice, chill spot for a casual dinner. The atmosphere is casual, welcoming, & family-friendly. We felt very comfortable right away. There's also an outdoor seating area that I'm sure is amazing in warmer weather. The servers were warm & attentive, offering helpful suggestions, & thanking us for stopping by as we left. They were just genuinely pleasant. Now, the food. It's the next day, and we're still talking about how delicious the mussels were. The butter they're served with is delicious. After we finished the mussels, we poured some of that butter over our risotto just so we could keep enjoying it. The scallops were a great protein choice because they were fresh & perfectly cooked. Our only note is that the risotto leaned a bit salty, though they may have been on for adding the extra butter. Overall, I'd recommend this place.

    Basil Pesto Alfredo with Blackened Chicken

    I ate here almost 2 weeks ago and their basil pesto pasta is still living rent free in my mind.

    Caesar salad with chicken
    Gary H.

    Had lunch there today and it was great. The location is easy to find. The inside was nice and the service was great. We enjoyed some baked oysters and they are likely the best ones in town. We also had the pimento cheese bites and really liked them. The caesar salad was the best I've had in Pensacola. We will be back for sure.

    Came in with friends party of 6. We were sat right away. Beer and wine only. Food is good but not sure for the price. Example I had the seasonal risotto which was $21.00 then I added scallops for $15.00 and got 3 of them. It was good but not sure $36.00 good. Staff is friendly. Jasmine was our server she was great. Clean inside. Food is good. Just be ready for the bill.

    The staff are super friendly and the vibes of this place are on point! There is plenty of seating inside and out, the food is good and quick- I can't wait to go back

    Food is absolutely flavorful. Just so happy we found this place. Charity was wonderful and like the biggest fan of the place which definitely helped us pick out food :) cute place - outside area nice as well.

    Cuban sandwich
    Mike T.

    Went recently and sat outside on a chilly night, but they had outdoor heaters and we enjoyed our meal as well as the atmosphere. Brussel Sprouts were amazing and our drinks were very good as well. Glad I finally made the decision to check this place out!

    Beautiful yellow, heirloom tomato I took off my hamburger and ate separately; hamburger perfectly cooked!
    Christine S.

    Really great food service in atmosphere. My husband's fish sandwich was exceptional. He had a side, Caesar salad and duck fat fries which he loved. My hamburger was perfectly medium as ordered and what was so impressive was the fact that that it had a yellow heirloom tomato on it. I was so impressed with my tomato which was perfectly salted and peppered. Thank you very much. I pulled it off the hamburger and ate it by itself! We will definitely be back to try some other menu items. Don't sit on this place!!

    We had to stop by after hearing all the reviews! We truly enjoyed our experience. The Caesar salad with chicken was really good. My husband really enjoyed his hamburger and fries. The red blend wine had a smooth taste. The dessert from Craft was amazing, we thought a small scoop of ice cream would have thrown it into another hemisphere! The vibe was very cool and we could have sat there longer. Service was great.

    My husband and I had dinner here a few weeks ago, this place recently opened and you could tell the staff is still working through some kinks.. upon arriving we stood at the front door waiting on a host for 20 minutes. We almost turned around and went somewhere else but we were determined to eat there so we waited. We ended up being seated outside at a picnic table. Our server was very nice and apologized for the excessive wait times, she was also the only person working outside that evening and they were slammed. We enjoyed a couple local beers and split the Steak frites and an order of the Brussel sprouts.

The atmoshphere The acoustics in the back dining room. I could actually have a conversation even when it was moderately crowded. The Bad: The food is absolutely awful. It's so bad. I'm sorry, I want it to be better but every time we come here no matter what dinner entrée I get, it's gross. I had the grouper piccata and it was inedible. The fish stunk like fish, badly. It was stomach turning. The pasta was no better. Some sort of gross lemon flavoring or something, I'm not sure, but after a couple of bites I couldn't eat another bite. $47 in the garbage. To add insult to injury, the prices are stupid high. They also add some BS 3.5% "operational charge". It's minor compared to the price of the food, but it's just a shameless money grab. I'm beyond tired of businesses using COVID era nonsense as an excuse to completely fleece patrons. The prices don't even remotely reflect the quality of the food or the location or the atmosphere. It's in a liquor store for goodness sake.

I've been here several times and…read moretried a bunch of different items, everything I've had so far has been fantastic (with a couple personal notes). * Hummus & Pita Plate - 10/10 Best hummus ever!

Our waitress was a lovely woman and was very helpful and informative.

And they make their cashew cheese in-house???? AMAZING! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was rustic and original, yet had a light, airy feel with all of the vining plants hanging around the room. A lovely little lunch spot. We will be back!!
