My husband and I decided to try this restaurant for lunch. The food was delicious. We ordered the cauliflower wings. A plant based version of Buffalo wings made from breaded cauliflower. They were tasty and a nice light appetizer to start with. My husband ordered the BLT, and I had the Turkey Club. We both enjoyed our sandwiches very much. The portions were plentiful and mine came with homemade chips. So good. Just checking out their menu I thought they had a great variety and mix of dishes. Lots of great burgers, and even some selections with seafood and pasta Our waitress, Kelly, was super nice and attentive. Interior was clean, and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere had a cool vibe. I look forward to going back, trying some other dishes as well as some of their cocktails. Highly recommend a visit.
Vegetarian options: While not a huge selection of vegetarian options, they have multiple salad options. They have some vegetarian appetizers, and I noticed they offered a plant based burger on their menu.

I'm giving 1 star because I can't give zero! Went for lunch, had an hour. Took minimum of 40 minutes to get food (I was with 4 others). I ordered a Caesar salad with shrimp. It came on a salad plate with lettuce, a few shreds of parmesan and 4 medium sized shrimp which hadn't been deveined! I paid $20 for this salad!! Needless to say I will NEVER go back and pretty sure my lunchmates won't either as I wasn't the only one that had problems with their order. Ridiculous!!

Can't comment on the food, as we never got any.
We were the 2nd table to arrive (place was basically empty) and ordered at 12:05. At 1pm we told them to cancel our order and walked out. Almost every table that had filled in after we arrived had already walked out just before, or just after us. Kitchen seemed more interested in cooking 1 of every food item for their photographer than for any of the patrons.
Server was nice and very apologetic for the kitchen issues.

went with 4 others for lunch. we had an hour and it took almost that long to get our food much less have time to eat! even though it was lunch, portion size was miniscule. I ordered a Caesar salad with shrimp. I received a salad sized plate with lettuce, a few shreds of parmesan and 4 shrimp that weren't even deveined!! I paid $20 for this salad; he shrimp were $1.50 each and we're about medium in size. One of my lunchmates ordered a chicken and avocado sandwich that came with no avocado and a piece of chicken so small you had o look between the slices of bread to see it. At about $20 or more per person for lunch, one would expect much better service and portions. Will NEVER go back there and I'm sure my lunchmates won't either.

$15 Frozen hamburger patty and it was cold when it finally arrived an hour plus after ordering.
Waitress made no apologies and would forget stuff after asking for things.
Brings 1 plate at a time and most were almost done by the time mine came out.
Very disappointing. Will not return.

Service was great, the food was not, and it took over 40+ min to receive my order. The esthetics were charming, downtown city vibes. The bartender was very accommodating, but the wait for the food and it being cold was enough to not return.

Showed up at 9:30pm- closes at 10pm. Was given massive attitude for trying to order food and a cocktail. Bartender refused our order when told kitchen closes at 9:15pm. Restaurants should not say they are open if they are not. The worst experience we have ever had there. Do not go. Worth skipping. Don’t see them staying open with the horrible customer service.
We had our drink and food order ready. Owners should fire this bartender as we go down there often. Sad to see good food wasted with poor business practices.

We ordered burgers. Both seemed to be frozen patties pre cooked that were reheated. The fries were the only thing that tasted like it was just cooked. Very disappointing for the price point.
The food was super good, i got the chicken sandwich without the toppings and i went with my grandma and great grandma and they both approved. Even though a few items were unavailable our service was great i do recommend. I do think that this place might be a hit or miss restaurant but for me it was a absolute hit btw the chicken on the chicken sandwich is absolutely massive ? and again the service was SUPER GOOD.

Natalie (the bartender) delivered hands down the best customer service at the bar I’ve ever received! If you find yourself in Newport News, stop by and try the “Left on Red” and/or the “Mermaid Water!”

Service was poor and extremely slow. No effort to check on us or our food was made by front of house staff. Order took over 30 minutes for a fried chicken sandwich and a cold sub. The waitress was rude when asked what was taking so long. The waitress then told me that this is typical for "made to order food" as though I had never eaten at a restaurant before. Ended up taking our food to go. Portions were tiny and my sandwich was over cooked to the verge of being burned. Overall a terrible experience and will not be going back.
