    This used to be my favorite restaurant in Bloomfield. I’m not sure if it’s under new management or new kitchen staff - it’s changed. It’s no longer available on door dash and they don’t answer the phone. They messed up my order. The steak Sandwich was my favorite item, and unfortunately it’s no longer pieces of real steak; it’s a ground beef patty. For $24, no thanks.

    Fresh seasonal fare. Tasty appetizers. The sausage broccoli rabe egg rolls are spectacular and the "fries" were great. Salads were fresh and crisp. Beer selection is ok but full bar. Coke products

    Love the eclectic selection of foods. The decor is very pleasing. It could be a little bit brighter for my liking but overall a great place. Definitely try their cocktails. I didn't get to try their desserts because I got so full on the appetizers and big sexy 2.0 Burger
