Food was okay they have some pretty neat stuff on the menu, although I noticed some of the prices are different on the big menu. The atmosphere is great! I love their gallery wall but I wouldn’t recommend dine in at the moment. They’re currently going through a AC issues and it’s extremely hot and humid inside.

Soooooo yummy! The smash burger is perfect I’ve never had one like it with thin patties and a thick fluffy brioche bun. The fries are nice and thin but not too crispy. I also love the ceaser salad wrap and the cafe drinks have never dissappointed

had a really good substantial steak and cheese sub along with fries. atmosphere is casual and a good place to meet with friends, get some work done on your latop or just catch a quick meal. big step up over fast food and a nice place to eat or meet friends. definitely recommended for good casual dining.
