We stopped in for a drink and an appetizer. After leaving to go to another bar, we got to the car, turned around, and went back inside. My husband and I both agreed that the drinks, food, and service were great!

I really don’t like to post poor reviews, but I think this place is just ok. I’m not sure what they’re trying to do? Are they are bar, restaurant, breakfast place? My friends and I went for the band. The Swinging Johnsons were a hit! Great music, great sound, nice guys! Now the food: I took a chance and ordered the Parmesan Crusted Seabass. It was interesting! There was no crust on the fish, sort of a seasoning, but no crunch. The fish itself tasted ok, but not particularly fresh or tasty. Then it had this white sauce on it…. Like the one you would find on chicken fried steak. The sauce was good, but didn’t really go with fish. Then there were assorted veggies, like someone steamed them, literally threw them on the plate and did absolutely nothing to make them look or taste appetizing. Very strange. The rice was fine. My Sauvignon Blanc was fabulous- I picked the priciest one - the taste made me happy! The prices were ok.
The atmosphere: it looked like a bar, had a casual feel, still had part of the sign from the old restaurant up. The waitress was nice but it looked like there were only 2 for the whole place and they were running. My friend had the potstickers and she said they were just ok.
Parking: Very small lot

$$ Moderately expensive. Good choice of small plates to share. Mexican Fiesta chicken salad on the small side. Crab cakes were different, but tasty.

High quality food and amazing list of high end appetizers. 2 for 1 3-6pm. Soon to have live music and local north county craft beers on tap.

Placed a (quick) order to go.
The waiter said it'll be a 20-minute wait...
That's fine.
No one greated us. No one sat us. We had to talk to someone at the bar.
Offered no water.
Tab opened 6:46pm
I ordered 3 meals to go.
Left at 7:30pm
They use canela oil.
Parking is terrible if you drive anything larger than a mid-size.
The place was not busy...
Food was absolutely the worst thing. Burger was broken down the middle.
Fish and chips was soggy and tasteless.
The (shrimp) Greek salad had no shrimp!! It was tiny!. I thought everything was a joke.
Stay away from this place.

Don't waste your time trying this place. Worse than the prior Greek restaurant that was here. Had shrimp cocktail that was dry and tasteless, with little cocktail sauce. Asked for more and was told they were out. Also had the jalapeno poppers, and they tasted like they were from the freezer section. Bartender made cocktails, served, and I believe cooked as well. Bathroom didn't have seat covers either. Looked like Seafire, no upgrades or changes made. Don't waste your time!
