We enjoyed our meal, but was disappointed that the menu item we came here for was out and we were eating before 7:00 PM. Our second choice was delicious, but wished we had a chance at our first choice.

This spot in Little Italy was very comforting and the service was chill just like the vibe of the place. The food wasn’t too New Zealand like to me but it still slapped nonetheless. I had the Wagyu Smashburger- it was tenderrrr, definitely worth it. And the skinny fries are cute and flavorful. I recommend coming over here to give it a shot.

Once past the line to put our name down for brunch, getting a table for 3 on a busy Saturday was a breeze. Charming decor on the covered patio lends a warm, inviting atmosphere. Initial drink order arrived swiftly, and the house coffee was decent, but nothing special. My real disappointment came from the long wait to order food, and that when the food arrived it was only mildly warm and lacking the freshness I had hoped for and expected.
