Service was mediocre and the chick had no flavor but the atmosphere and ambience was amazing. Excellent beers as well. Just come here to drink, the kitchen needs a bit of work.

My guests food looked delicious and they seemed to enjoy it. My salad, with perfectly prepared seared tuna was very good. My only complaint was there wasn't much salad and a ton of shredded cabbage, and only 5 leaves of lettuce...so tasty, want more lettuce...

Atmosphere really is so cozy and cool! Food tasted great and prices were decent for downtown. Service was great and I loved how other servers helped us out that weren’t ours. All in all good spot
