Kinda forgot this place even existed. We won't be making that mistake again. The lamb empanada and rocket salad were both excellent and the entrees were equally good. We ate at the bar which was cozy and fun. The server was attentive and super knowledgeable, but never overbearing. We loved it here!

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. The amount of purpose and passion that goes into curating the beer and meal pairings was evident in every aspect of the dinner. Tess is clearly run by an owner who cares deeply about their work and the whole meal was wonderful. An incredible and hardworking wait staff as well.

Americana cuisine. Simple and fresh dishes with lots of flavor. Bar staff really knows how to make a proper drink. Highly recommend you make reservations, street parking is rather limited.

I would rate this restaurant 10 stars if I could. My salmon was by far the best I have ever eaten, and I spent 10 days in Scotland two years ago. The restaurant is so clean that it actually sparkles. Street parking can be a challenge but don't let that be a deterrent. You must try this restaurant!

Delicious ravioli especially paired with a very nice wine. Super cute night out!
The mahi mahi is quite possibly the best entree I have eaten in this entire city
Lovely little restaurant, food is a mixed bag.
I have never been here and wanted to use my City Tin coaster, I enjoyed a delightful meal and enjoyed the cozy intimate atmosphere. My waiter was fantastic and the food very good. Had the smelt and mussels appetizers and both were flavorful and tasty, the arugula salad was fresh and the perch and barramundi fish fry good. Will definitely be back to try something else next time.
A great experience with every visit.

Love the courtyard.
Our server Moi was extremely attentive & professional. He was efficient & able to communicate with the mgr. about my disappointment with the portion of the sea bass. Although delicious, it was a ridiculously small portion. In the end, the chef prepared another piece of the fish. Everything else was absolutely delicious, e.g., the salad, salmon entree, wine & flourless chocolate cake. Highly recommend especially Moi, our server.

Went with a group of friends.Service wasn’t bad. Food was average. The man who owns this place is honestly not a kind a human being! Avoid at all cost

Very good meal, somewhat limited menu and my drink had a funny taste to it, thinking it was the ice. Perch was great as was the salmon. Quiet environment and great outdoor patio. Street Parking only can be challenging when busy.
