Great spot in Apex. Amazing food and the bartenders are fantastic. It gets packed quick so make sure that you get your reservation. Try the tacos they never leave the menu for a reason!

Other than it being a little too loud (lower dining area is small) we had a great experience. Our server Roha was attentive and pleasant. The restaurant and bathroom was clean.
We were a group of 4 and ordered a Calamari appetizer that came on top of Guacamole and had spicy cucumbers ...very good, the cheese tray... just ok. The Cheshire pork chops were soft, juicy and delicious, and the Scottish blackened salmon was great moist , flavorful , buttery. All in all a very enjoyable evening.

Hanger steak was excellent, as was the artichoke dip. NY sour was really good too. Farm to table concept. A lot of the specialty fish was sold out on a Saturday night so come early if you want new stuff on the menu. Very good meal.

Food, service and bar are great. The menu is limited, so typically we check the menu for something we like, but a few times the one item we wanted wasn't there, so make sure there are at least 2 things on the menu you like.

we had a reservation for 745 and we were not seated until 820. There was another couple there who is also seated 30 to 40 minutes after their reservation. No apology was offered for the late seating. And then they were out of more than half of their main entrées. so I decided to have a salad, but wanted to have some simple grilled chicken on top and the only way to get chicken on the salad was to order the main $32 chicken entrée in addition to the salad… not a good experience

A good menu and good food in downtown Apex.
We had such a wonderful dinner tonight. The deceptively simple chicken cutlet was the surprise sensation along with the romaine and apple salad. They were very busy and stretched a little thin for service in the upstairs dining room with more than one server working with us but they worked as a team making every effort to be attentive. Overall, it was a great experience tonight and we look forward to returning again soon.

They don't like you spending too much money. I liked to order tons of appetizers out there. Last time, we occupied a table outside for a while, constantly ordering drinks and food and had a good time. Just after we asked the check, an idiot from the staff came to our table and told us we could not use a table over 2 hours. Imagine the waitress reaction? Just before we paid. We used to go there a lot, it was our absolute favorite, we use to tell everyone to go there.... never went back and told everyone NOT to go there anymore. Food is not what it was 10 years ago when we started going there, when it was organic and localy sourced. Chef used to be awesome. It's ruined now... adios.

This is a very cute place, great location on the Main Street in Apex, decorations are cute and cozy and was nice inside. very small inside however, it was a cold Tuesday night so sitting down wasn't a problem. Service was great, our server was very good overall. My main reason for the low score was the price. I ordered the spicy tuna tacos. I got 3 tacos, they were medium to small sized with just tuna and a little (dry) coleslaw on them - that was the entire meal (no sides, no lettuce, salad, etc) and it was 28 dollars. I just can't get past that price for that little amount of food. I think this is just way over priced for what you are getting. I understand tuna is expensive, so I am willing to pay a premium for getting fresh fish, no issue there - but for such a little amount of food and 28 dollars, that was kind of crazy. I don't think I will return.

Delicious food, creatively and thoughtfully prepared. Excellent wine selection and informed pairings by the staff. Worth the wait!

Had the pork chops with scalloped potatoes, everything cooked to perfection. Sorry I took the picture after I tasted the pork chop.

This restaurant has been my favorite since it opened and I am shocked that I haven't submitted a review for it yet!
Every time I walk in this restaurant, it's like a warm hug from friends. The food is phenomenal, the drinks are well balanced, and the staff literally couldn't be friendlier. I'm currently sitting at a table here tonight and the amount of people that walk in with staff calling them by name is incredible. New guests are greeted with warmth and excitement as if they're returning home.
My wife and I come here a LOT and we have never had a bad experience! We have brought guests here time and time again and the same. Of course, every place will have an off night, but whenever anything wasn't perfect, the service made up for it to keep us happy.
Some nights we grab a bunch of small plates and other nights we order from the large plates menu. No matter what, we ALWAYS order the goat cheese salad.
Truly... This is a gem and not to be missed.
Joe, you're our favorite, and I hope you never leave!
