   Tristan was amazing! I came in last minute with my partner for our anniversary after getting extremely poor service from restaurant where we were prior. They still had plenty of reservations! We came in an hour before closing and they were still respectful. They even put "Happy Anniversary" on our menus and gave us 2 free glasses of wine! Everything was stellar from the front door (the host Fabian was great) from the moment we left. Definitely will come back. Since we came so late we didn't wanna get anything super heavy to give the kitchen and staff some grace so we simply just had some cocktails, the wood roasted oysters ( so good we had to order two) and dessert. We both can't wait to come back and experience you all again! Thank you all for accommodating.

   Decided to go here on the recommendation from some friends. So I with some friends and had an amazing time! Holden was our server and did a wonderful job. We started off with two lemon drops, the deviled eggs, she crab soup with the shrimp toast (unbelievably good), strawberry salad and the roasted oysters. Everything was just very flavorful. The bread was amazing as well! Pork Belly, Schnitzel, and Burger entrees were fantastic as well. The house vanilla ice cream was fantastic too. I see why this is one of my friend’s favorite restaurant. Will definitely be back.

   The family was very happy with the food, drinks, and service. The noise level made it challenging to have a conversation and would be the only drawback.

    Everything was delicious, service spectacular, Just felt like we were.practically sitring in our table neighbor's laps. Space was so close I'm sure my derriere was on their tables as I squeezed through to my seat. If we go again, will have to request a different table.
