    I have never had a bad meal here. Food is consistently delicious. Stacy and all the staff are wonderful and attentive. By far the best restaurant in Ewing and the surrounding areas. My favorite place 🥰 The only negative thing I could say is it’s loud especially on the weekends but it’s a small place with a popular bar so not much that can be done about that.

    I unfortunately think this place suffered from being overhyped. The ambience and service were fantastic. However the food did not blow us away. While there were some highlights including the raw bay scallops, the hash brown, and the “Caesar like salad”, most was forgettable. For the price tag and portion sizes, we left a bit disappointed. Overall, good little spot. Not rushing back though.
