What customers say

I always have a great time here. Craig, the bartender, is incredible and makes outstanding drinks — including some delicious off-the-menu mezcal creations. Shellie, the new Executive Chef, clearly takes pride in her menu. You can taste the passion in every dish coming out of the kitchen. I’m especially excited about the possible addition of her beef tartare — it would be a fantastic new feature. Everything she and her team are producing is stellar (and their Taco Tuesday is definitely worth mentioning). Marco, the GM, is personable, welcoming, and always offers great recommendations. The entire team delivers friendly, top-tier service. They’re absolutely crushing it, and I’ll definitely be back.
