    Food just okay. Expecting more from James Beard semi finalist. Pork bowl dry. Hamburger overpriced with no sides included. Chopped salad was very good.

    Great service and cute patio. Even though it was 90 out we were cool in the shaded patio with misters. My old fashioned was wonderful and the cubano was delicious.

    Beginners luck was a needle in the haystack gem hidden in the tourist neighborhood of Old Town. Super cute, great food and especially nice servers… you don’t find that often. We will be back for sure!

    We ordered french fries which were just average, but they came hot. That was good. We also ordered the fondue with cauliflower, pretzel, and sausage. The sausage was good. The fondue was not only cold, but it was very runny, not cheesy, not flavorful. The pretzel bread was adequate. The cauliflower was overcooked so we couldn’t even fork it to put it in the fondue because it just broke apart. Nathan was our server and he was wonderful. Don’t think we’ll be back though thank you.
