Diners can start with duck-fat fries with Béarnaise, an egg roll version of a Philly cheesesteak, or deep-fried, dinosaur-shaped chicken rillette nuggets. In addition to a handful of salads, there are hearty handhelds like a salmon burger, french fry-topped Polish Boy, double smash burger, and shrimp Po’ Boy starring head-on prawns. In the big-plate department, there’s a 48-day dry-aged USDA prime strip steak, grilled red snapper, herb-crusted rack of lamb, lobster mac and cheese, and vegan mushroom bourguignon.

    I’ve been here several times and the food, drinks, and ambiance never gets old. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, it is fantastic food. Our personal favorites are the margherita pizza, spicy salami pizza, and burger sliders. The drinks are amazing as well and our server surprised us with what he thought we would like based on our alcohol preferences and did not disappoint!

    My wife and I enjoyed a Friday evening and had a wonderful time. Each room was filled, and the environment and energy were great. The food was outstanding and cocktails incredible. The trio (piano, sax, base) playing music were really good, although very loud and we had to yell across our two-top table to talk, so I would give this a 9.5/10 night out.
