I stumbled upon this restaurant at the last minute and was pleasantly surprised. The waitress was kind and took great care of us. For starters, we tried the Gnocchi Mac and Cheese, which was rated 8/10. The cheese sauce was delicious, but the gnocchi might have been a little overcooked. The Spring Rolls were rated 7/10 - the steak was slightly overcooked but well-seasoned, and the rolls were nice and crunchy. Moving on to the Mezze, the Paneer was rated 1/10 - although it looked beautiful, it was bland and disappointing. The Pita was rated 3/10; despite being advertised as having garlic butter, it simply tasted like overcooked pita without any garlic flavor. For dinner, we had the Salmon Burger, which was rated 9/10. The salmon was a decent size, light, fluffy, and perfectly cooked - not overdone. The fries were also very delicious.
My partner and I came here for a date night last night and everything was fantastic! The staff were very welcoming and our server Justin ensured that we had everything we needed, providing excellent recommendations when we couldn't decide on what to order. The food was delicious and the drinks were perfectly strong, just the way we like them. This has become our new favorite restaurant and we will definitely be returning.
The atmosphere of this restaurant is very pleasant. However, we were disappointed to find that the food menu was limited and not what we had seen online. We had come for brunch, but ended up choosing from the lunch menu instead. We ordered two servings of Korean honey mustard wings, which unfortunately lacked flavor and were undercooked. The wings were large, though. The burgers we ordered were really good, but mine was not cooked to medium as I had requested. The fries were excellent. We also ordered bottomless mimosas for $20 per person. Overall, it was a nice experience, but I probably wouldn't return. The waiter was understanding and friendly.
Came for a happy hour business mtg. Great drink menu their old fashioned is very good. Had the flatbread and wings both tasty. Will definitely revisit for lunch or dinner. Great vibe inside and great location to watch sports.
