Mia was our server for lunch and was very pleasant and accommodating! The chicken sandwich is delicious, I swapped the ranch for garlic aioli. Fries were crispy, salted perfectly, and not to oily.
Overall very nice place to stop for a bite especially right next to the convention center.
The atmosphere is very simple but is nice, clean and comfortable.

A shout out to our server, Mia. We were seated a bit far away from the other tables so we could have a quieter space due to one of our friend's trouble hearing in noise. She checked on us frequently and was super friendly too. The host (young guy) was very accommodating and thoughtful, took our picture for us too. Excellent food. Thanks so much for accommodating our need for quiet. Highly recommend this--great location right across from the Convention Center. Way better food...

We came here to eat after traveling to attend a speech convention. The food was absolutely incredible! We had the burrata salad and the chicken burger - so good! Azeb helped us and she was so amazing! She recommended some delicious wine and helped us problem solve when we couldn’t figure out what to eat! Her friendly personality was incredibly welcoming after a long day of traveling! Thank you Azeb! We will be back tomorrow!
