At dinner, a signature cocktail and slow braised 36-hour pork ribs are a perfect pair. While you and your crew enjoy damn good food and drinks, a local band plays live for great vibes. Come hang out and stay a while.

    I thought the outside seating was in the rear. It was along busy noisy Gilbert Street but it was manageable. Great scratch cooking and good service

    The service was impeccable. Our server was friendly and attentive, he did a great job taking a photo of our table and arranging the birthday dessert. We all thought the food was a little bit “off” this evening. The hummus appetizer was fantastic and the monkey bread dessert was fabulous, but my salmon left something to be desired. it tasted like the sauce was too heavy , almost burned tasting.

    Food was served in a timely manner. Just a couple anomalies: biscuit was hard and dry, and the Korean cap steak was spicier than usual. Other than that, the appetizers, meals, and cocktails were tasty! Service was outstanding - friendly, attentive, and prompt. Our request for comfortable seating was accommodated and perfect in its location.

    An amazing restaurant - I must eat at if ever in the Gilbert or greater Phoenix area. This was my wife and I’s second visit in a month (it was so good we had to go back!). The service is amazing and the venue could not be better. Hands down one of my and my wife’s favorite restaurants. And, Mary is one of the best Waitresses we have ever had! She helped us pick amazing entrees and her service is impeccable.

    It took a full hour + to get our food!!! I asked for Chalula for my eggs and never got that. We asked neighbor table who was done eating. We’ll never go back. The atmosphere is cool though just don’t go hungry.

    Really nice time, loved the live music though the acoustics made conversation a little difficult. Great service, especially our server Timothy. The whipped feta dish was our favorite.
