I'm a tenacious traveler back.

My friends and I stumbled upon The Mayfly recently, and I’m so glad we did! This spot has such a wonderful, chill vibe that makes it perfect for any occasion. Whether we were there for a casual Thursday dinner or a lively weekend brunch, the atmosphere was spot on, the music was great, playing at the perfect volume so we could still enjoy our conversation, and the spacing was comfortable.

The staff here is genuinely kind and attentive. We were seated right away by the bartender, who was quick to check on us and take our orders, making the whole experience feel intimate and welcoming.

We were completely blown away by the food. I highly recommend diving into the mac & cheese and the truffle fries, they were absolutely amazing, rich, and deeply satisfying, we couldn't stop raving about them. Their wings were also perfectly cooked and savory. If you catch them during happy hour, they often have great deals on wings and beer, which is fantastic value. For brunch, their $25 bottomless option is stellar. The drinks, like the wild rose and mimosas, are perfectly balanced, strong but never overwhelming. Also, the ‘Smooth Landing’ cocktail is a must try, it's truly amazing and packed with great flavor. The Mayfly delivers excellent food, great value, and a fantastic, relaxed ambiance. I would gladly come back here again and again!

Good food! Service was a bit slow and I did ask for the nachos to come first but they got all the food at once. It’s in a nice part of town and draws a good crowd.

Grabbed a bite after a play on August 5th. The bartender was very attentive and sat us immediately.
It was a bar food night of wings, fries, and flatbread. All three were meh.

Sun brunch. Nice spot. Comfortable space, size, layout, and chill. Service team was pro and helpful. Menu - food, drinks were great, love it when a spot has a short well done menus. Unfortunately they didn't have the Impossible burger available - it happens. Veggie flatbread and good pilsners hit the spot for me in any event. And for us xennials, try and guess what the spot used to be - you'll figure it out.

Hosted my 30th birthday here and had the most incredible experience! From Rory coordinating the details to the staff ensuring we all had an amazing time I couldn’t have asked for anything better. We were able to control the music and everyone was extremely accommodating. Special shout out to Isaac for making the day so smooth and fun!

It's a cool spot to drop in after work, or if you're in the neighborhood
