The food is quite good here and they got a vegan sandwich and a few small plates as well as a cheese board. The cocktails are great too as well as the atmosphere.
At 9:12 on a Tuesday walked up the stairs only to be rudely greeted by the staff, who informed us they were closing.
The posted closing time on Google is 10:00.
Terrible terrible service.

Came here at 913pm on 8/15. Both Google and their front door says they’re open until 10. We get intercepted in the front and told they just did last call and are closed. Either they need to update their info or tell their staff they can’t close before advertised closing.

Dan with Offline - The cocktails are fantastic as well as the food. Two of the unexpected standouts, the lavender mimosa and the Caesar salad.
Be sure to check for their daily drink specials.

I imagine this place is great for people who live right by, but there is nothing else around so if you travel over there, it isn't worth being a single stop.
The interior is nice and it has some decent views. For food, we only had the charcuterie board which we enjoyed. The drinks were too watery for our tastes. Service was friendly and attentive.
Not sure if I would come again, but may be worth a check out for others.

Went on a Saturday afternoon and it was extremely quiet. Had an amazing and intimate experience. The ambience is great and the food was delicious. The highlight were the cocktails! Highly recommend the lavender one as pictured.

I’ve always enjoyed the vibe and cocktails here (especially the Aperol, Hugo, and Bloody Mary) and have visited several times. However, during my last visit, we noticed we were charged more than the tip we left. Additionally, the music from Gizmo across the parking lot was so loud that it disrupted the great atmosphere of the outdoor elevated patio.

I love this place. Come several times a month. A very low-key casual, comfortable atmosphere to have a drink and something to eat with friends. Excellent sandwiches, the cheeseboard is always good, and we love the drinks.

Great cocktails, friendly service, and a nice environment. We were somewhat disappointed in the flavor and quality of the food.

I am giving this place four stars because they had a vegan dessert, sandwich, and an appetizer or two, as well as apparently vegan cocktails. We ordered dessert only. The vegan dessert is This Dessert is Bananas, which is a banana blondie, oatmilk vanilla ice cream and vegan caramel sauce. It was a lovely evening and we sat outside, although their indoor seating area was pleasant as well. We really enjoyed our desserts. The server said they always have a vegan sandwich that is vegan as-is, but are happy to veganize other items. She said they try to always have three vegan cheeses, which last night were feta, gouda and I forgot the last one! Anyway, really nice place, open late, easy parking, something for omnivores and vegans and gluten free (omnivores) as well. Note this is a second-story restaurant, you will have to climb stairs.

Hosted my book club here today and the food was delicious. I was happy to see a vegan charcuterie board! Food was a bit slow getting to the table, but it was understandable given there were 9 of us but only two people working the restaurant. Food was well worth the wait!

The food here was absolutely wonderful.
BUT
I'll never come here again because it took unacceptably long for the food to come. We got half of our food, most of it the shareable about an hour after we put in our order. That was all non cooked food - cheese plates, toasts, olives. We ended up sharing what came out because at that point we were all so hungry. Our sandwiches still haven't come out and we're edging towards an hour and 15 minutes now.
The server was great and the atmosphere was too but waiting over an hour for food was just too much. And the place wasn't even busy.

Good creative cocktails, well executed, and good flavors in the food. Could use a bit of a cleaning but overall good experience 👍
