Imaginative and delicious drinks. The shmaltz and duck fat washed rum was unbelievably amazing. The server was generous with his attention and knowledge. Highly recommend!

Beyond exceptional! The drinks were top notch and the food was fantastic! Wait staff was super helpful. The beef tongue in-particular was the best thing anyone at our table had ever

Note: If you are looking for a raucous bar that serves hurricanes or hand grenades in gallon jugs shaped like butts or jugs, stop reading. This isn’t your place.While I’m sure the food here is great, this review is only about the cocktails we had and the absolutely chill vibe of the courtyard. Both were exceptional. Easily one of the most creative cocktail lists I can remember seeing. So many unique and unexpected flavor combinations that made no real sense when I read them on paper, but made the most perfect sense when I drank the drinks. Whatever voodoo is going on behind the bar at this place is brilliant. If you want to try something different - even if it’s just a different take on a classic, make the effort to drink here. Then, sit outside in the courtyard and savor it all. You’ll thank me.

Truly a gem (pardon the pun). The drinks are beyond delicious, but the food was really a surprise. So delicious and deftly done! And the service may be the best we’ve had in years or even decades. This will be a forever come back for us. Make sure to ask for Kaylin (hope I am spelling that right)!Dietary restrictions: They had delicious gf and vegan options!

A classy stop for cocktails or dinner with a nice courtyard in back. We stopped by for a drink and weren’t disappointed. Try to get a seat at the bar to watch the bartender in action - there’s one drink where a cinnamon stick is ignited on the top side to deliver flavor within. The Cat 2 is also a winner.

Wow.....what a mealThe Roast Celeriac was such an interesting dish! Every bite tasted different than the previous....so many layers of flavors and textures. That was something specialWe also had the Mushy Peas....great little dish and very homey. The wasabi and shallots were such great textural additionsThe Short Rib and Brisket Pie was amazing and big and savory and juicy and flakyThe Fried Acorn Squash was also a great dishThe Pink Grapefruit Posset was really different! Almost a custard texture and quite aromaticThe Cocktails were tasty and sophisticated and well thought outOur serving staff was uber attentive and really took care of usI would definitely go back and recommend to anyone
