Service Bar

First off - Shea is a great server! Second, the cocktails were delicious. Third, and most importantly, the burger was AMAZING. (now I'm biased as we supply the ground beef) Chef created a great marriage of flavors. Will 100% be back (probably next week - then maybe the week after) Run in here - and get the burger.

I always meant to go here, I used to live right around the corner, I shop at the thrift store across the street, but I never had the money. Truth be told, I still don't have the money, but it was a nice splurge. Whenever I spend close to $100 at a restaurant, what I want to feel is that quiet energy you get through the evening, I want to feel the glow of the meal washing over me for the rest of the night. Luckily, I carried that difficult to capture feeling with me when I left the restaurant. The dining room is beautiful and well appointed. Silverware might have needed an extra round of polishing. Glassware and plates are unique and well taken care of. Their dirty martini was wonderful and just nice to look at. The oysters of the day were everything I wanted - they tasted decadent and creamy. Wonderful way to start the meal and definitely one of the highlights of the night. Caesar Salad did its job. Was happy to see they had Skins Field Recordings by the glass, the wine selection has some care put into it despite this distillery being known for its spirits. The mussels were served with a green curry sauce, which was unique and delicious. In an effort to save money, I had the Fried Chicken Sandwich but I didn't regret it. All the condiments played together nicely and I couldn't really piece together in my head what I was tasting, I just kept taking a bite and saying "god this is good." One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had.

Lots to say about this dining experience, overall it was good. The good: -The atmosphere was nice, good lighting and okay space between the tables. Nice decor and accents. -Our drinks were very good and the perfect strength, well balanced, nice aesthetic. -The whipped cream on creme brulee was perfectly sweetened. -The Caesar salad dressing is some of the best I've ever had and the cheese is so fresh. The bad: -The marrow appetizer was overpriced for what it was, we (maybe) got 1.5 tablespoons out of both bones combined. They were prepared well and the sourdough was very good and charred perfectly. -We asked to share a Caesar salad, the kitchen did not plate it onto 2 plates. We were given the dish and had to wait for plates. -Not bad, but surprised to receive regular heinz ketchup with the duck fat fries, anticipated something housemade. -Shocked to hear our server did not know what an Irish coffee was, and never gave us an answer if we could order one or not. -My pappardelle pasta was so salty I almost sent it back, the size and texture of the noodles was great. -My spouse's mussels seemed over cooked but everything else was fine he said. What should be fixed: -The front of house is undeniably understaffed, we saw 2 servers the entire time we were there on a Friday night. The bartender and 2 other support staff were there helping to run food and clear our table. -Retraining the FOH staff is a must...examples missing from our service include; replacing silver ware when you take dirty ones from the table (we went without a few utensils), boxing up food away from the table should be standard practice for a restaurant of this caliber, checking in on the meal at least twice (we were only checked on once we were done eating). All-in-all I will go back, but it seems like a 50-50 experience, some stuff is good and some stuff is bad and it's a mix of the food and service. For $141 before tip, it's overpriced for what it is right now. Small, consistent improvements will make this place worth it.

Very intimate setting. They didn't have many vegan options. What they did have (cauliflower with lentil and beet salad w/o burrata) was very delicious! The servings were quite small which was disappointing. The drinks were not the best I've had in town, but still good. It's seasonal, so I'm hoping they add more vegan options.

I used to love this place pre-pandemic, but it's not the same food. Cocktails are still great and worth a stop, but the food menu is limited and inconsistent and oddly priced (very expensive and not worth the price). The Jerusalem artichoke was my favorite, the tiny fruit salad appetizer ($22) was underwhelming.
