Love the live music by Ken Song! My husband is a pro trumpet player, and I love live music. The hamburger with the secret sauce was delicious. Had the Prisoner Cabernet Sauvignon and an Old Fashioned, both were great…

Sweet live jazz in the alley. Solid appetizers and cocktail happy hour. Great Black-n-Blue burger!
We sat outside, but the inside looks cool.
Definitely give it a try.

I was just going to leave my star rating on this review, but the owner response was a little confusing. Yes, it is me? Just perhaps not the one you're thinking of?
I came with my family (4) for brunch on Saturday and we simply didn't really enjoy the service or the food. To be fair the prices were reasonable in 2025, and the photos and other reviews brought us here in the first place but it didn't really meet our expectations.
So if I'm needing to defend my review:
Food: It was fine, nothing special, but not terrible, probably wouldn't come back for anything in particular.
Service: The server didn't really seem to care if my family was talking and would interrupt to ask us to do minimal tasks like hand them plates or pass the pitcher of water to the other side of the table so they wouldn't have to walk around.. all things again not really worth mentioning, which is why I initially only put in a star review. The main thing that bothered me though was when the bill came they were commenting on the tip amount (somewhere in the 15-20%range) my father was leaving as he was entering the payment info, and was kind of just hovering over his shoulder the entire time. It just seemed weird, and made us uncomfortable.
Atmosphere: We sat outside, didn't really step into the establishment.
