Protagonist Kitchen and Bar Reviews
Cozy place , delicious brunch . i enjoyed the time today . Happy Easter.
Amazing place! I’ve ate here several times and can’t decide my favorite. Highly recommend the smoke buffalo wings, and duck. Or for brunch the garden hash with the brisket added to it. The brisket melts in your mouth! Awesome beer and wine selection. If you like gin n tonics order The Crown it’s the best! So refreshing!
Celebrating NYE on our own for the first time since Covid we decided to walk across the street and eat here. My husband had the Miso Mushroom pasta with shrimp and I had the grilled salmon with polenta cakes. Our booth was romantic (dark) and the owner brought us the cutest little table lamp. We had a great conversation about what a gem they have!
