    Starts off by being greeted by Sophia who pays attention to and accommodates special reservation requests. A great neighborhood restaurant with lots of good culinary options. From the starter salad with shaved parmesan and apples, to the perfectly cooked duck, and finally the amazing beignets for desert. An eclectic menu with an Amarica and southern inspiration. My new favorite restaurant in the area.

    We went to B and C because we had been there before and liked the experience. This visit supported the last visit. It was really busy (Easter Lunch- busy was not surprising) and a beer took longer than I had expected- but once mentioned- was remedied immediately, the staff were present and attentive. The food was exactly what we hoped for ... food great! The staff were really great and responsive. Happy customers! Will definitely return.

    One of the best meals we’ve had in a long time! We order the fried calamari, duck tostados, the hanger steak, short rib special, smoked duck breast, duck fat fries, strawberry rhubarb crisp, crème brûlée, and sorbet. Our picky kids finished their dinner so fast and loved it. Everything was cooked to perfection! The service was great as was the ambience. Wish we lived in town and can eat here more often! Will definitely make this restaurant a stop on our future trips. Highly recommend!

    Happy hour wings and fries were great, the sliders and gnocchi less so but still okay for the price. If you stick to the wings and fries it’s a great dinner for for 2 right around $20. Services wasn’t very good forgot to get us extra ketchup and napkins multiple times.

    Decent place where we had a dinner as other places were booked for the evening. Not bad at all but isn’t something that will stay in our memories either.
