Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Eric Bost

MICHELIN Plate
2022

From the OpenTable editors: This massive open-flame restaurant charmed diners with fire pits, a wall decorated with camping gear, and warm communal vibes when it opened in 2016. It still has powerhouse status thanks to an excellent craft cocktail program and seasonal wood-fired masterpieces, which could include fire-roasted octopus with green harissa or smoked coffee-rubbed brisket.

Most amazing birthday meal tonight. The server was so attentive and made sure we all knew how the menu worked and how to have the best experience. The broccoli was the number 1 at our table followed by the chicken dish and the market fish. The s’mores dessert was so fun and delicious as well! Everything 10/10, worth the wait for a reservation.

Ribeye was cooked perfectly medium rare but was a bit too salty. Mixed drinks were predominantly ice and mixers. Otherwise all the other food, ambiance and service were great

Great food - interesting new combinations for me. Vegetables especially rocked. Carrots and broccoli were amazing. Fun atmosphere - a bit loud but not too bad. Cocktails great especially milk punch.
