    Olives
    Brenda A.

    The good: plenty of street parking, they take reservations, everything is clean and the service is great. The artichokes are also super yummy! The bad: most of the food is just average at best, we tried the artichokes, olives, steak frites and salad. The steak was overcooked as we ordered it rare, it also was oddly cooked almost boiled instead of seared. The salad was overdressed and small for the price. The restaurant itself had odd decor, a bit refined in some places and tacky neon in others. I'd skip this place, the food isn't bad but certainly leaves no reason to return.

    Chicken and waffles
    Robert C.

    We went here for Mother's Day and they had a special menu. Three of us had chicken and waffles , 1 had French toast and one had a burger. Also, we had the egg63 salad. The egg63 salad is basically 2 eggs good in a bag until it hits 63 degrees. Then it comes with some lettuce and other veggies it's was ok. The chicken and waffles were not good. All 3 waffles were cold and hard to cut. The chicken wasn't bad. The person that had the French toast said it was good and the burger was fine. The service was a little slow but she was very friendly. For 3 of us with 3 drinks it was over $200. Definitely wasn't worth it. We may go back and try the regular menu at some point but the Mother's Day food we had was not good.

    Oysters
    Keely C.

    Ambiance is nice but they had lost a glass panel near the entrance which we nearly stepped thru. We got there right at opening so it was quiet. The oysters were good enough but the martini recommended with them wasn't, the ravioli were perfect, the salmon was good. The service was very good a nice balance of attention and letting us alone.

    Double burger and fries.

    I came here because I googled 'tasting menu' and this places menu came up on Uber Eats as having a tasting menu available for a VERY reasonable price. I thought almost too reasonable. Upon entrance I noticed how cold it was, hoping it would be warmer once further into the restaurant. The hostess was on the phone so after a few minute wait I was promptly seated at my request for a booth far away from the cold windows. Rhe middle of the restaurant, the area directly in front of the kitchen window was unfortunately no warmer than the entrance. I was freezing my entire meal. When the server brought the menu, I noticed it was completely different than the one listed on Uber eats. I mentioned I was interested in the tasting menu. The server was just as confused as I was and went to check if that was something they did or could do. It wasn't. I really should have just gotten up and left but I thought I'd give their other food a shot. So I ordered their fried artichokes for $14 and double burger no onion for $24. A burger that expensive has to be good, right? The very salty fried artichokes got cold after my 3rd bite so I stopped eating that, hoping my burger would arrive quickly. Server came by and asked if I was saving room for my meal, then said 'okay I'll go put your burger in now.' And 20 cold minutes later, I finally get my burger. The fries were dark brown and extremely overcooked. The burger was... very oddly proportioned and charred. The two meat patties were teeny tiny, half the size of the bun, but extremely thick. There was some kind of grey goo slathered on the bun, and that's it. Meat, goo and bun. Lettuce and pickle probably would've helped, but I didn't see my server again for a little while. My first bite just tasted like meat char. It was really juicy despite its burnt crust exterior and after the first bite I had to switch to fork and knife because the bun disintegrated into mush with all the juice that squeezed out of the burger patties. I only took two more bites before getting frustrated and grossed out by the charred flavor and soggy bun. I ate the 11 fries that didn't get burned, and asked for my bill the next time I saw my server. I really should've just left after the menu I looked at online was entirely different than their actual menu. That's my bad. Live and learn.

    This was a great find on recent business trip. We often end up at Mexican places so this was a great and unique find. Wait staff was super friendly and attentive, gave great food recommendations, and made it a nice evening. The beef tenderloin was cooked perfect and the pork chop was the second fav at the table. Baked artichoke dip was good but so little chips and bread to dip in it, kinda disappointing.

    Great servers! Everyone was helpful and kind so front of house manager must be doing their job!…read moreFood was delicious. Crispy Brussels sprouts had great flavor but way too much cayenne pepper (which adds nothing but heat) my husband ate them but said he would prefer less heat. I had 2 bites and gave up. Baked brie was amazing I loved the granny Smith apples! My husband loved them too. We also got the hummus duo which has dates on it and I used a date in the brie that was fantastic! I'll ask for that next time! It was the bomb. Hummus duo was good the watermelon radish was beautiful on the plate but gave both hummus a bitter flavor. Shrimp and grits. We live in Alabama currently and this was our least favorite dish of the day. Shrimp were cooked well and so were the grits but there was just something else it needed. Parmesan cheese and some onions maybe. Greek salad delicious. The flash fried chick peas made it. We needed more dressing and the wait staff was prompt and sweet about it. Spicy Lime Ceasar was ok till he requested more dressing then it was amazing. I was afraid of ordering it but the dressing wasn't too spicy . White sangria I had was disappointing it was more of a 1995 wine spritzer than a wine infused with citrus which is the very essence of sangria. It was ok and had I ordered a wine spritzer I would say yummo but I ordered sangria. Pork Belly flat bread was the winner of the night the tomato jam made that dish. I would love more on it next time but we will definitely be ordering that dish again! Yes we had a lot of left over food! But I love sampling a menu and this menu has a lot to offer. We will be back to try 4 or five other things. I look forward to my return.

(Except for the noise from an occasional loud vehicle that drove by!) We ordered two appetizers: Korean Chicken Bites and Parmesan Zucchini Ribbons. The chicken bites weren't our favorite. Just okay. But the zucchini ribbons with the lemon basil aioli were so good! I would go back just to order that starter again. One disappointment is that I really wanted to order the Shishito Peppers. No longer on the menu. My meal was the Pastrami Reuben with fries. I switched out the Swiss cheese for cheddar. I liked the meal, and it was enough to bring half of the sandwich home for lunch the next day. The other two ordered the Crispy Pork Belly & Tomato Jam flat bread. One liked it, the other was just okay with it. Two of us ordered sangria. It was white, which came as a surprise to us. It was less sweet than we prefer. Another in our group ordered a mocktail and quite liked it. Got a second one and I don't believe they charged for the refill. Unfortunately, I didn't get the name of it. It might sound like I have too many issues to give a 4-star rating, but I stand by it. The amience was nice. The wait staff was pleasant. The menu was creative. I'll definitely go back.
