The service was outstanding. Though the lunch menu was limited , the food was good. The location is a bit difficult to find, but it’s in a lovely section of the historic downtown and it’s a nice walk in the blocks around.

The food was amazing - 10/10. We ordered the lamb sliders, duck carnitas tacos, and flank steak with mushroom risotto. The Brussel sprouts were the best I’ve ever had. Service was great! Overall one of the better meals I’ve had in awhile! Would go back again to try brunch.

Overall it’s a nice establishment in a cute part of town. We had plenty of parking and were seated right way. We did have reservations, but they were moving folks in and out nicely. The waiter forgot our appetizers, but that was OK. We are enjoying our conversation. Burger was cooked perfectly and was enjoyed. Steak salad was good but a little drenched in dressing. Asked for the dressing on the side lemon cheesecake was outstanding. All in all I would return if I was back in the area,
