Met up with friends to try this place out. LOVED it! Food was creative and yummy. Just the right portions and amazing flavor! Atmosphere was fun, upbeat and probably too hip for me!

Run by the folks who used to run the legendary East Coast Grill. Fun vibe, great food, but limited menu, great drinks as well. Not a huge amount of seating, but the bar scene seemed to be the big draw.

If a baby blue 1965 Monte Carlo transformed into a bar this would be it. Amazing food, drinks hospitality. Get the clam chowder and pour them over freaky fries
