It was a beautiful day so we chose to sit on the rooftop. What a beautiful view of the city and the river. It was a little chilly with the wind but we endured because of the view. The restaurant itself was not super busy but definitely steady. Every single staff member we interacted with was so incredibly friendly. We felt very welcomed to be there. We shared their Imposter Sandwich (Tofu) and a large order of Tots with the Sauce Sampler. The sandwich was phenomenal! Crispy, flavorful, & large enough to share. Tots were also cooked perfectly and seasoned well. We both left VERY full. My Only complaints/criticism was that their sauces were mostly misses. We only liked 1 or two of the ones we tried. They also don't offer a sauce with any heat. I personally prefer super spicy and really wanted more spice with what was offered. Also as a vegetarian, I never understand how a Tofu sandwich can be significantly more expensive than regular meat sandwiches. That part is always frustrating to me knowing how cheap tofu is. I also do not run a restaurant and do not have intimate knowledge of the overhead cost of things so I am totally ignorant to that part. It just can feel "predatory" because it's the only option for people that dont eat meat. in closing, this place is Awesome! They have amazing food, an awesome location, great staff, and this place would be a good experience no matter the party you came with. I definitely recommend giving DIsco Chicken a try.

A good balance of familiar favorites riffed, and creative concoctions adorn the menu. The food? Absolutely absurd. The chicken is jumping with flavor. Pork tacos are some of the best. A lovely charcuterie board should be mandatory for all guests. This place is full of fun, flavor, and love!

Ambiance wise, you have brick combined with stone, interesting tables and chairs, a blacked out ceiling with very nice lighting - this place is stylin! We walked in, selected a seat, and were greeted and promptly ordered. My wife had their regular daiquiri, and I had their Bomb Cherry version. Both were perfectly chilled and were very good. We'd eaten at the City Market, and regretted that because we didn't know that they also have food. Beef sandwiches, pizza, and other stuff. We're going back for a full experience in the near future!

You can't beat the outdoor seating with river view, unless it was hot like when we visited. We opted for indoor seating in the cooled environment. Staff was excellent.
