Got takeout. Missing one of the sandwiches we ordered, ordered burger medium and it was blood red. Short rib sandwich bread was stale and not much on it. Was very unhappy based on the price of everything.

Food is OK. Nothing special. Selection is all over the place with little indication of being good at any of it.Spinach balls....don't order. Zero flavor. Waste of money.Ceasercsalad with salmon add on. Salmon was way overcooked. Dry and disappointing.Flank Steak. Using low grade sirloin. Fatty. Wrong cut for real flank steak offering. Frozen product for fries.Dessert, chocolate tart to go for home. Again frozen other place product looked inedible and threw away after opening the to go box. Waste of money.Witnessed another couple order a burger. Wife of other couple sent back her undercooked burger twice. She gave up after second return and settled with taking home in a box. Sign of poor cook and inattentive ordering details.Not likely to rmonet.Better options in town.Live local and am totally unimpressed.

I've been here a few times and every time the burgers are spectacular! Definitely some of the best burgers I've had in the area. Service is always prompt and friendly, and the vibes inside are funky and cool. Definitely a don't miss spot on Broadway!

Great experience prior. Today was not the day. Went in for Sunday brunch, menu was small. Burgers werent that great, chicken and waffles burnt and dry. Waitress was non existent in the empty restaurant.

We've been here before and it's always been a nice experience. Atmosphere is nice and cozy. Food was good. The amenities this trip were not too standard...bathroom needs a good overhaul and is not fully functional. It's too dark. Toilet seat broken. One of two faucets doesn't work. It's like a stylish, savvy restaurant turned into college hangout with little attention paid to details any longer. Service was fine, server was very friendly. Owner...please look at your place with fresh eyes and bright light. I would love to have the opportunity to change my review next time we visit. Best of luck to you.

The only place I went to twice while I was in Rhode Island for 3 months. Great drink selection, very fresh food, live music and friendly staff. The prices are a bit high but it is farm to table food so it is worth it!

Had dinner last night as the bar - friendly staff and great food. My wife and I split the mussels which were excellent- came with a few pieces of toasted French bread for sopping up the delicious sauce! Afterwards we split the burger and while my 1/2 was medium rare like we requested, somehow my wife's was well done-ish. Burger was good enough - the fries were excellent and we had a hard time from gorging ourselves on them! We love this spot - so lively (even in the Winter) and we love the Chris Wylie artwork throughout

Outstanding food and environment. Plenty of options to be prepared gluten and dairy free. The 3 of us ate for Aaron's $65 plus tip.
