Great time at Piggyback. Service and food were both excellent. Had brunch on a Sunday. Honey butter wings and breakfast sandwich were good choices!

Food was really unique and delicious (especially the lamb). The family style serving allowed everyone to have a taste of everything. Cocktail was great. We had a group of 7 and our server made sure we were taken care of. A fun evening.

Food was meh. Not terrible, but not at all interesting. It felt uninspired. And portions were ungenerous. Bartender was friendly and creative (made a terrific Manhattan.)
