Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Great neighborhood feel. My husband and son get pork schnitzel every time. Thai curry app is so good I could drink the broth! The beet salad is a perfect mix of flavors and a great addition to a meal. Chicken parm was rated by my son as one of best he has had. Poke bowl is a perfect lighter meal. Fra diavolo sauce is so flavorful but not too spicy. Buffalo cauliflower is a must try. Lightly fried and spicy! I can't wait to go back to try more items! The menu isn't huge but has a good variety. Everything we have tried has been so flavorful and delicious. Our new favorite Centre St spot!

Made a reservation for 8 on a Friday night and I’m glad we did! The place was packed! Our appetizers and drinks were great. We were sad that they were out of empanadas. Only unfortunate thing is that the restaurant is open until 1 AM according to the website but the patio closes at 10:30 so we were essentially kicked out then.

I love this place! I almost always get the same thing - the poke bowl - and it always satisfies. Great atmosphere and service. Just what you want in a neighborhood pub.

Had a very delicious meal that was well prepared, tasty and used fresh ingredients. Service was good and Sever was attentive to needs. Good sized portions. One thing you need to be prepared for is the tables are close together. I had one party on one side that was having a quiet conversation and then unfortunately had a party of four on the other side that was to loud. Overall a very good experience and looking forward to going again

We sat outside, it felt like home, a backyard at home. No complaints at all about wind, dust, mosquitoes or flies. The place is clean and we got very good service. They don't have a big menu but it has a fair variety and diversity We had a great time.

A very nice little neighborhood cafe. I loved the food and the environment. Had poke and watermelon cocktail and do recommend them both. Will visit again.

The restaurant was quite warm, the ac didn't really cover it(it was a very hot day so can't blame them for that). The food was decent. I got the fish and chips, the chips were excellent, but the fish was a little bland. We also got the poke bowl which was refreshing, and the serving was generous, but again a little under-seasoned.
