A really great neighborhood restaurant. Stopped in by chance on my way home from a nearby event and it was a pleasant ending to my evening. My server, Katrin, was attentive yet easy-going. Food service was timely, and the quality of the food was delicious. Both my chicken, vegetable soup and steak frites dishes were perfect. I came in about an hour prior to dinner service ending and no one rushed me. It was the perfect dining experience. Highly recommend.

Fast service, excellent food, nice atmosphere. What else could you wish for? We had skirt steak, salads and non alcoholic drinks. The portions are big, so the price was justified. Our server was a really nice young lady. We also had complementary bread with oil snack. 10/10

Great food, great service! I got the restaurant week menu, total $30, for Brussels sprouts and burger. Totally worth it! And their tip starts from 18% instead of 20% like many other restaurants do. Highly recommended.

Great HH menu! Quiet oasis, well decorated, good bar. Great service. Got the lamb burger sans bun with salad… perfectly cooked medium with a good crust on the patty which was nicely seasoned with good tzatziki on side.

went here during the holiday season it looks unassuming from the outside once we got inside it was very festive. You were seated rather quickly. There’s lots of seating and even a bar area. We went on the weekend so there was a brunch special. Our server was amazing attentive without being annoying. The burger was great, and the wine was good. Also, lots of good dishes to choose from. Definitely want to go back. I feel like it’s a hidden gem. More people should come here.
