Visited on Monday night because of location and $10 smash burger special. While the place has a cool vibe, it was a little dirty. Tables and menu dingy with finger marks. Service, okay but slow. $12 not $10 on special but that makes sense in today's world. So, we waited a long time on the burger on a night that was not very busy. Server was not particularly interested in whether we were ok with that. BUT I will say this. The smash burger came and WOW. It was all of that. Turned out that it was worth wait. Fries were also very tasty. This place has so much potential. Just needs a through cleaning, more service training and a few updates. The food...perfect.

This was not a good dinning out experience. We arrived after a concert at 4:30 and noticed the doors were locked. Their web site said they open at 4. We sat in the patio to wait till 5. A hostes came out and said rudely, We open at 5. When we advised her about the web site, she said I am not responsible for the we site, again rudely. Nobody came out to get us at 5, judo ignore us. The waitress was very nice, but did advise us that they did not have the New York strip stead as shown on the menu. Two of us ordered the duck which was awful. I will not be telling anyone to go there.

We're so sorry to hear you had a bad experience! We do open at 5, and we're sorry if you viewed a different site but our website and Google both say that we open at 5 pm. We'll be sure to talk to our team members to make sure that no one communicates rudely. I hope that you will give us another chance and that in the future if the dishes are not to your liking, that you will let us know so we can try to fix the issue before you leave unhappy!

We enjoyed our time here, very much. Food was spectacular -- time between ordering and arrival seemed perfect. Our appetizer, the deviled eggs, 4 of them, we each had one, was delicious and again perfectly timed. Our waiter seemed over-eager while also seeming nonchalant and bothered about his job. He was not a problem, just something we noticed. Ambience good; creative meals, nice atmosphere, well worth it!

Simply stated, one of the best meals my wife and I have ever enjoyed. The food was just amazing, whether the comfort classic pork chop or the unique brisket dish. Every single bite was dynamic and delicious. The restaurant itself was bustling, but my wife and I could converse easily at our table. The room is so comfortable, not a hint of pretentious. The service was great, timely, and well-informed and honest. An absolutely fantastic restaurant.

The food and service here was absolutely great. Our waiter was very patient with us, we had a communication snafu with my friends who showed up late, people ordering at all different times, and he handled us very well :-). The place could really use a little TLC though. The seat in our booth was badly torn, the dust and cobwebs hanging from the lights were painfully visible across the room. Maybe they're going for dive bar atmosphere, but I don't think it serves them well. That said, it's a great place to just grab an excellent meal near downtown.

Overall decent experience. This place appears to more suited for individuals who enjoy late evening outings. Husband and I dine early to avoid crowds (I have social anxiety) but experienced an enjoyable evening nonetheless. Atmosphere was decent, service was attentive and pleasant, and the food was also decent. I love the fact that they had an eclectic selection that is different from standard fare.

Almost everything on the menu was spicy or things I don’t eat. Wound up with a hamburger that was tough. The French Press coffee & bread were excellent . My husband gave his chili rubbed pork chop as a four. A strange but inventive menu.
