    So rude!!! I called to clarify a dietary restriction and after I had a clarifying question to make sure nothing I was allergic to was in the food the man on the other side said "you asked, I told you" and refused to clarify with the chef even after I tried multiple times.

    Such a great spot would definitely recommend! Great food and loved our server Madison so nice and attentive! Only issue was another server seemed to be having a bad day and was hard not to notice her attitude. Otherwise great spot! Will be back

    I live in the neighborhood and eat here at least 3-4 times a month. The food is top tier. The service is exceptional and the General Manager is the Mayor of the restaurant. Greeting guests, running food and pitching in to make this place run like the well oiled machine it is! Staff seem very happy, food is always hot and fresh so color impressed and that means a lot coming from working in food service for 2 decades. Daily specials are so worth it, Thursday’s are my night so don’t go crowding the place lol but in all seriousness if you are looking for some great food and a nice chill vibe whether for a quick and quaint date night or a night out with you guys and gals if you’re in Uptown this is the place!
