Delicious!! Tight quarters with the tables but that’s every North end restaurant. Delicious food and drinks but they don’t serve desert. Need to go to their bakery next door but given it was Christmas Eve Eve, there were lines out of every bakery door!! Good service and not bad prices. They have valet ($30) but didn’t realize and my husband dropped us off and parked in the lot down the street. They won’t seat you until your full party is together. Overall would definitely recommend.

Fantastic first visit, will try very hard to come back soon (live about an hour away). Every bit of food hit the right note, chicken was crispy, hot and perfectly seasoned, drinks were varied and well made. Mac and cheese with brisket is a must ! Service was extremely courteous and attentive.
