    The food was incredible, and so was ambience (especially on a warm day, when the doors/windows are open) Highly recommend!

    Very loud, with friendly servers who nonetheless seemed disorganized. Getting our food took forever and it seemed like the waiter may have forgotten to put our order in. Had we not been so hungry, it would not have been worth the wait.

    SO good! It was a little louder than I expected, the night we went for dinner around 6:30PM in February had a DJ which I thought was a bit much. It also felt a bit pricey but the food was really good! I’d definitely go back but, I wouldn’t totally recommend for a date night or something more intimate.

    This restaurant is so cute inside and the staff is very nice. The food was so good! I had the burger and it was so juicy and delicious. Way overpriced hummus platter, but overall great dinner.
