Description

Nestled in a cozy setting, this restaurant offers an intriguing, seasonal menu featuring standout dishes like Argentinean steak, zucchini fritters with salmon, and inventive small plates such as kimchi arancini. The extensive bourbon and craft cocktail selection caters to diverse tastes, though some find certain drinks overly sweet or inconsistent. Service is consistently praised for its attentiveness and friendliness, enhancing the overall experience. While portions are tapas-sized and prices reasonable, some menu items can be hit-or-miss, and occasional inventory shortages occur. A lively atmosphere with live music adds charm, making it a solid choice for casual dining with a flair.

The salad had begun to turn brown thirst, was used on the crab cake. Lettuce was the side salad a better side could be chosen for the page. The package they put together had no $40 value.

The food was well-portioned for small plates, and the variety was excellent. However, every item we ordered out of the six was quite salty. The drinks were enjoyable, but when we requested something off the menu, like a lemon martini, the staff said they didn’t know how to make it.

The restaurant wasn't very busy due to the foggy, chilly evening, which likely contributed to the excellent service. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the menu offered a fascinating variety of options. Prices were quite reasonable, making it a great overall value.

Brad, the manager, and his team were incredibly accommodating, offering excellent service and delicious food. Be sure to try the Argentinean steak and the poutine before you go—both are outstanding!

Very surprised by the menu! Not your typical whiskey bar food! Well thought of seasonal menu and the plates are perfect size tapas items. Very tasty! Try the kimchi Arancini and steak salad. Servers are very pleasant and friendly.
