A+ experience for those with allergies. The chef came out and gave me his time with explaining things that were safe for me and things that weren’t. He knew all of the ingredients in everything and helped me piece together a nice meal! It’s rare to find something so accommodating. I felt very safe eating here!

What a fun find for us although it opened just before covid and has been there for approximately 8 years. Luckily it made it through those hard times. The atmosphere is a little dark and seventies moody feel. Also, feels a little speakeasy. It sits hidden on the corner of a large old brick apartment complex.
We were there for brunch served on Saturday and Sunday. We had bloody Mary's to start. Definitely a nostalgic skewer with cheese, olive cocktail weeny and pickle. I had there breakfast sandwich with their homemade chicken sausage as well as their homemade buttermilk pancake. It came with butterscotch syrup, yum,. Jesse had a breakfast burrito both came with tatter tots. All was delicious and freshly made. Amy was our server and also the co-owner. She was delightful to talk to. We will definitely go back with friends at night for cocktails and hang in the retro vibe. It felt like one of the neighborhood places you would find in New York or Chicago. You know that secrete place that only those that know know.

5 stars all around. This place has such a good vibe to it, it feels like you’re stepping back in time. Very chill & comfortable. The staff were great & friendly. Drinks were well made & food was so good. I definitely recommend trying the apple butter Brie dip, walking taco-rito & the olive burger. Will be returning :)

What a great place! Located on the bottom level of an old and occupied apartment building. The vibe is 60’s retro and we loved it! Grace, our server was fantastic and knowledgeable. The food was so delicious and the twice cooked wings were some of the best we had the flavor and the sauces were outstanding! My partner got the classic cheeseburger and he said it was great, and I got the taco-ritto which had cheese, ground beef and Fritos in it, and it was delectable! This will be our new staple for when we are on the west side of the state! Cheers!

Cocktails are great & personally I like their Brunch menu better than the regular one. Service is sometimes not that quick but overall it’s a hit or miss. I do love the atmosphere and the vibe.
