This place was awesome! Obviously, before you even step into the restaurant, you walk through the alley, which is a built-in photo-op. The restaurant itself has a cool, quirky, rustic theme going on. Four of us went for brunch and we didn’t have a reservation, but we were able to grab drinks and seats at the bar while we waited (which was about 45min). Cocktails were delicious… I still think about that Bloody Mary. Once we got our table, it took awhile for someone to come take our order, but they offered us champagne on the house for the long wait, which was so kind of them to do. As far as food goes, YUM. We all got different dishes to share and none of them disappointed. The pancakes were my personal favorite.. that salted walnut butter is *chefs kiss* Would definitely go again and for sure recommend this to people!
I absolutely loved this place. Tucked back in a graffitied alleyway, the setting already feels unique, and once you’re inside it has this cozy English-style charm with plenty of seating to spread out. Service was top notch from start to finish. Everyone was genuinely friendly and made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. The food really stood out. The mac and cheese was easily the best I’ve had at a restaurant. Super rich, perfectly balanced, and something I’d order again without hesitation. The apple French toast was phenomenal. It comes topped with apple pieces that taste like apple crumble filling, with a soft center and a slightly crisp outside. The butter on top just brings it all together. I’d go back just for that. The burger was a beast. It’s stacked high, so it’s a bit of a challenge to take a clean bite, but it’s packed with flavor and definitely worth it. Overall, this was a really memorable meal and a spot I’m already looking forward to coming back to.
Very solid dining experience. Food was good, I really enjoyed the tuna tartar... pork chop was cooked nicely, but a little too much sauce, etc. which led to an odd savory/sweet combo that didn't quite hit the mark for me. Server seemed to be thoroughly uninspired.
A couple of months ago I stopped by here with a longtime friend from my youth just to check it and the alley out. Even though we were not going to eat, we were warmly welcomed and shown the restaurant by Alyssa. After that experience we decided that this would be the next stop in our every month or so lunch Yesterday we returned for lunch and the experience was equally impressive. We were greeted and seated by friendly Willa and served by Myles who knew to do the little things that make a good dining experiences into a great one. More on that later! We ordered a burger and a chicken bacon club sandwich. Because we had told Myles we couldn't make up our minds and were going to split the entrees, she (without our having to ask) had the kitchen cut both sandwiches in half before serving them. The burger was full size and flavorful (perhaps cooked a bit more than what I had hoped medium rare would be but still excellent) and the chicken club sandwich delicious. The club sandwich came with salad and the burger with fries. I am not usually overly enthusiastic about fries, but these were amzaing - fresh, hot and flavorful! Thank you Freemans for an outstanding culinary experience! *I apologize if I did not spell the names of those to whom I gave shout outs! :-)
I wavered between a 4 and a 5 but decided on the higher rating due to overall experience. Absolutely beautiful restaurant. Down a graffiti filled alley, multiple rooms and two bars. Charming at the highest level. You felt like you were in a few hundred year old home. We ended up in an almost private room at the back of the restaurant because we were a larger group and it was perfect. We started with devils on horseback and artichoke dip. Both excellent. The dip was not overly cheesy or greasy but had great flavor. The bread was nothing special but the dip was great. The devils on horseback were cooked well. Dark rich flavor. The bacon wasn’t greasy and it had a perfect amount of cheese. We shared both the kale caesar and grain salad and would order both again. Both were not overly dressed and had great flavor. We added bacon to the caesar and it was a generous portion and crispy. The grain salad had a little tang to it and was very refreshing. Also shared the Nashville hot chicken. Again generous portion. Chicken was cooked really well, very moist on the inside and crunchy and sticky on the outside. I don’t think it had much of a kick heat wise but was very tasty. The waffle was a little disappointing. It was barely warm when served and didn’t have much flavor, definitely did not taste any cheddar. I didn’t taste the English breakfast or pancakes but both looked delicious and the people who ordered them enjoyed them. We also tried the ginger shots and they were great. The restaurant is definitely not cheap and we had a couple of things that were not perfect but overall the experience of the actual restaurant and the food is worth a visit or two or three. Will definitely return to try more food options .
