The place was busy the whole time, and crowded at the door which is a pinch spot-not for claustrophobics. Happy hour prices include some small plates from a limited menu that can be ordered from any seat in the restaurant. Roasted cauliflower with no sauces was plain but healthy, and the chicken wings were good with two sauces one sweet and one mildly spicy. I picked this place for the gluten-free options and fresh sounding menu. It was good for both. The quinoa-kale salad with salmon or chicken extra was good. The waiter said they could not remove the jalapenos from the salad but we could not taste them at all. Salad was delicious. Recommend a reservation since this isn't a super big place.

This is a great place to go for happy hour or for business lunch dinner. Service is always prompt and professional. read more This is a great place to go for happy hour or for business lunch dinner. Service is always prompt and professional.

They could improve by providing more comfortable chairs and sturdier tables, as ours was somewhat shaky. On the upside, our waitress was very enthusiastic and humorous, which made the experience much more enjoyable. The crab cake Benedict was so delicious that I ended up ordering a second one. I would definitely return, but next time I’ll choose to sit indoors.

Although it wasn’t listed on the diner menu, the hostess kindly made it for me when I asked. The burger was delicious, and the fries were perfectly cooked. I enjoyed my meal at a table in the heated street tent, which provided a cozy atmosphere overall.
