Perfect date night/double date night spot! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and spent an entire evening here, from happy hour, dinner, all the way to the live music. The service was great, the food was tasty, and the live music was what made this place really special. The outdoor seating is beautiful and not to be missed! Drinks were on point. Can't wait to be back.

3rd times a charm. took my friend here as a wedding gift. glad we made reservations because at a friday night, the place was packed. deviled eggs were green this time, and still hit the spot. the corn dip with pita is an absolutely must get. heres the thing, we asked for more pita and we got charged i think around $4 so keep that in mind. they should just add more to the plate instead of veggies because this was addicting! churros were disappointing, but i wouldnt get them again. they were too hard and over baked. chicken sandwich is a must get. well worth it. a little messy, but tasty and hit the spot. not spicy! my friend got the shrimp poboy and loved it. the gin drinks are tasty! about $15, but pretty.

The snowy weather didn't stop this mom foursome from enjoying a Gal-entine/Mardi Gras night out. The place has a great atmosphere, warm and inviting. You definitely feel like you're visiting a friend's house. Our waiter, Andrew was amazing. Made great suggestions, was attentive but gave us plenty of space to enjoy our night out. Unfortunately the advertised jazz music was not present as I'm sure with the snow, things got changed up. But Andrew made sure we still got some Mardi Gras beads to end our night with some fun. We had drinks and appetizers from both the special Mardi Gras menu and the regular menu. Food was delicious and drinks were spot on! Looking forward to coming back again to this local watering hole!

Have come a few times since October, and I always have a good time. Love the retro feel to the restaurant, and during Christmas time, they decorate it to the T. When they are busy, you can wait some time for drinks or food, but the wait staff is always super apologetic. Some drinks are better than others, but still worthy to try. Food wise, I have yet to eat something I didn't like, especially the onion rings (absolute favorite appetizer here). Worth making a visit.

Came here for brunch and was really satisfied that we were still able to order things we saw on the dinner menu that we liked. One thing I liked about this restaurant is that they serve fancy mocktails and if one would like they can have added spirits to it. It's both a win for people who want to drink or not. The one app we ordered that was a big hit for the table was the crispy cauliflower. Highly recommended for a nice brunch that is not in New York City
