WE thought this was a new and exciting alternative to what's offered in Valparaiso and have patronized several times. Only vegan option is the sweet potato tacos. Couple of downers- place is usually very noisy when crowded with sound levels in the upper 80 dcb range, especially when patrons are drinking. No sound absorption design-hard surfaces only. Other distressing observation that prompted us to make a quick exit while waiting to order at last visit: Noticed the guy who would be our server squatting at the table next to us and involved in a discussion. While chatting, he was scratching the side of his face with several fingers- ugh! That's it, we're outta here. I'll never eat anywhere with servers that scratch their body parts. Disgusting.

Everything was good but we’ve had our meals changed three times, the chicken was too salty even the one they said won’t have seasoning we took it home and we’ve failed to eat it ? we really didn’t want to leave a bad review, my mom loved loved the atmosphere of the place the food was good but eish, we couldn’t deal with the salt … we were given 50% on our first order but I think the takeout was supposed to be 50% off too. I’m sad to leave this here but I had to. Please stop leaving the chicken to sleep in whatever it is that it sleeps in…

Very spacious restaurant and no matter how many people in the restaurant the tables are spaced nicely so it is not too loud. This is one of really only two restaurants in Valparaiso that we feel comfortable bringing our grandchild. The food is good with enough options for everyone. In the summer the outside dining has wonderful views. It ranks a 7 on Jim's Chicago rating system.

Visiting Valporaiso for the first time and googled cool places to eat and this place popped up. I am vegetarian, so I had the General TSO cauliflower (not that great) blackened brussels sprouts (terrible smoked taste) and the beets salad (decent). The food didnt wow me, but the service was great!

Haven't ever had much in terms of quality service here. Never have I gotten what I ordered, and the service is super slow. They have live music but I've heard better from the hole in my exhaust manifold. Not impressed, not entertained, not coming back.

First time there and we were surprised! Great atmosphere and great food. I love that kids eat free on Tuesdays and my only minor complaint is to specify which beers are $4. BUT again, thats minor. Everything was

Kirk was our server, made excellent recommendations and took great care of us with food allergies. Great drinks & food! Grace at the cafe made excellent coffee. Everyone was pleasant and helpful, we were not rushed, and will definitely be back!
