Nestled in the heart of the city, this new restaurant is garnering attention for its inventive brunch offerings and standout dishes like the smash burger and elote fritters. Guests rave about the delicious food and attentive service, often highlighted by friendly staff and knowledgeable recommendations. However, the atmosphere raises eyebrows; some diners find the loud music and club-like decor distracting, detracting from a comfortable dining experience.

Amazing food and boozy drinks. If you're not getting their Elote Fritters you're missing out. Amazing taste and texture to them. Beer list is nice and approachable while the cocktails are tasty and strong. Place looks inviting too. Great new spot for sure!! Can't wait to go back. View all feedback.

I attended the grand opening tonight and enjoyed every bite. My wife said it was one of her favorite hamburgers, while I particularly loved the wings, mashed cauliflower, and elote fritters.

One of the best newer restaurants in the city! Amazing for brunch, as well as the brunch menu has inventive cuisine. The cook always tries new, delicious, innovative dishes. The proven SMASHBURGER is however sooo good and is a menu mainstay.
