Honestly, the food is pretty excellent, creative, and novel. Very fun to eat and tasty. The prices are a bit nuts though and the portions are faaar too large for stuff that's not gonna reheat well. $8 for two small links of sausage that happens to have some rosemary in it? Jeez. Service is also pretty middling and inattentive for the cost as well. Will probably keep us from coming back compared to other places.

The food was decently okay, it filled a hole. Our server wasn’t really around, we maybe saw her once or twice? But it was busy so we fully understand how it can be sometimes! However, the person delivering our food was excellent!! He didn’t have to help us but when we asked questions he seemed very eager to help, hope to see more of that attitude! I think his name was manni? Manny? Something like that. Thanks!

10 stars! Me and my picky sister with gluten allergy were in a hurry and thought it was impossible to find something quick and delicious that we could eat. But the owner intercepted us as we were checking in and led us straight to a table and made sure the kitchen made our food first. It was super fresh and delicious and came with allergy markers. 10/10 thank you!!
