Naomi is literally the best server she has created such a great environment with a welcoming atmosphere, the food is also phenomenal I have yet to have something on this menu that hasn’t impressed me. The food is so flavorful and fresh. And the esthetic here is very youthful yet classy. I would recommend this place to anyone of any age.

Food was not as good as I expected it to be by the reviews and pics. The thing that tasted the best was the cauliflower wings. The southern fried chicken could of had much more flavor, but it was nice and tender and not chewy. The deviled eggs could of also used more seasoning and flavor as well. The Mac and cheese didn’t taste good at all, I had to send it back (which I literally almost never do anywhere). The drink I had wasn’t bad but for the price it was very small. Some of the food prices are honestly not that bad, but some are more pricy. For 2 people, our meal came up to a little over $100 (but we did order a good amount of food). The ambiance is very nice and it’s much bigger inside the restaurant than you would think when entering. I really liked how they decorated and separated the rooms.

I was very disappointed from the beginning. Waited 15 mins for a hostess to show up. Table wasn't clean, the menu was different from what was presented online, and the food was way over priced, barely ordered anything before the bill hit $100 for a party of 2.

First bar I went to in New Haven, probably the only bar I will ever go. Friendly staff, amazing cocktail. They ran out of Rubber Ducky, but was happy to put a rubber duck inside a different drink for me. Not so loud, chill vibes, will definetly visit again next time I head up to New Haven. Thank you for the experience!

The food was great but it was beyond loud. Lots of children (who were well behaved) but it was so loud we could barely hear our waitress. Next time I'll pick a different room to sit in.

Came for after dinner drinks. Cool, lively bar with fun cocktail options. The seating is somewhat communal and helps spark conversation with neighbors. Did not eat here so can't speak on the food, but the food we saw come out looked and smelled great.

Came here for a girls night with the bestie, the manager (?) overheard us talking about how I hate grapefruit juice and jokingly suggested we order two of the rubber ducky drinks… we did and it was so good we got a second, even as a grapefruit hater. We got the chicken and waffles app and honestly it was pretty bangin. The service was really great, we had a perfect girls night, big shout out to Pat and the manager guy for helping make it special.

We dined on a busy Friday evening, the vibe is lively and they have a variety of food and beverages. It's in a great location downtown, walking distance to our hotel and close to many other eateries. We were a party of 6 so for appetizers we enjoyed, zucchini chips, mahi tacos and beef sliders, all very tasty. Our entrees included, mac and cheese (add shrimp), steak and fries, caesar salad, chicken sandwich, and the burger. Our server was attentive and friendly, they were busy so it did take a bit for drinks and appetizers to come out. Overall we enjoyed our experience and would recommend it.

Great service, but what kind of cocktail bar doesn't have cherries for garnish?

Well-prepared elevated bar food. Would recommend in some cases. Knocking off stars because we requested a quiet table on OpenTable due to a hearing impairment in our party, and we were seated next to an EXTREMELY loud party of 20. Granted, it's a very small dining room, but there is one quieter table that is in an alcove, and it went to the party right before us, for no reason, as far as I can tell. It was a tough lunch to get through. So those notes you can put on your OpenTable reservation? They don't read them.
The food was okay, but overpriced for what it was. What was really annoying were the two women sat next to us who must've never been to a restaurant before. From the time we were sat to the time we left, about an hour, they had their flashlights on taking turns taking pictures of their drinks. Literally they spent an hour shining flashlights around taking pictures of the same two cocktails. They were leaning back over our table trying to get some perfect shot to flex a $12 drink on insta.

My wife and I had a great experience here before going to a show next-door. The staff were very helpful and the atmosphere was really fun. Definitely a great place to check out if you are in the area.

Food is always amazing! Staff is always great! Usually sit at the bar and the bartenders are great! 1st time sitting in the main dining room and they had cute ducky themed things on the walls! Went for my birthday and they gave me a free dessert!!
