How do I do , here I go yes I’m very honest if you haven’t gone there you need to asap the food is outstanding omg the drinks are amazing Monica is the best as well as Andy both funny it’s a must to go great atmosphere the prices are so good . For me hands down the best in west Quincy !!! I was there yesterday and l enjoy myself until my son and his gf came but met many nice people that is friendly the ones I only talk to because that is who I am .What I think is they should have a band there on a Saturday like I do have someone that is really good it would bring happiness,joy,laughter that so many people are lacking due to what is going on in this world . Just saying . But it’s a must to go there . Mark my words I already been spreading the word about this place .

Pren is the best bartender around. She always puts people in a better mood and her finesse with a G&T is unmatched. Five stars do not do her justice. Pren gets twenty stars in my book. Not to mention she’s hilarious and always has a good yarn to spin. Her knowledge of cartographical history is impressive. I can always trust Pren to serve up a good pour and a good joke. Hats off and bottoms up

Not familiar with Quincy looking for a spot to have lunch and we all loved the food. Very enjoyable lunch. Service was very good too. Wish I was closer would come more often.

They only have high barstool type seats, which are wildly uncomfortable, especially if you are older. For us it basically ruined the meal to the point we had to keep standing up to stretch our legs.
Food was great, service was pleasant and efficient, decor is clean and modern, ladies room immaculately clean and price, for lunch was reasonable. It’s also relatively quiet, so you can have a nice conversation. Location is perfect for us, but sadly, we won’t be back. Better seating would make this place a winner.

After a 2 week vacation to Austin, Vegas and Charleston we wanted a new spot to try at home that had a great vibe. And this place did not disappoint . Absolute gem !!!! Food , drinks, service and music were great. This spot should have a 1 month waiting list for a table.

Very pleasantly surprised! “This all was absolutely delicious!” We stopped on the way to the airport and wanted a chill place with great food. Nailed it! The food was great (chicken avocado, steak sandwich, wings, chicken blt). Our server was proud to work here and said we’d like no matter what food and drink we got. She was right!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! Our server, Matt, was fantastic—friendly, personable, and made us feel right at home. I ordered the Brussels sprouts and the tofu grain bowl, and both were absolutely delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was inviting and relaxed, and everything was super clean. The menu had a great variety of options, and the drinks were perfectly done. Matt M really made the experience. Highly recommend—I’ll definitely be back!

What a gem! Ate here with my boyfriend tonight and had fantastic service with our server Andrew. The drinks were great and our meals were even better! I tried the short rib dinner and he got a burger. My short rib was incredible, almost tasted like roast beef!

Always happy to see a new spot in Quincy. It was busy and everyone was in a great mood. Can’t wait to come back!

Amazing! Bottom line. The burgers are cooked to perfection, tender and moist! The brioche buns are so super soft and cooked perfect. The spicy margarita was outstanding, and the service is spot on. Five out of five stars and will ? return! ?

Two tacos with very little short ribs maybe 3 tacos would have helped

The brunch menu has good options. Their avocado chicken sandwich was great paired with their iced brown sugar latte. Everything came out pretty quickly and tasted fresh. The server was friendly as well. She seemed very knowledgeable about the menu. They did some decorating for fall, which was a nice touch. I’ll definitely come back.
