Opens late! That's a plus. But the food is so salty and greasy. Korean style chicken was so chewy and fatty. Peach virgin drink tasted like tap water. Price was not reasonable compare to the quality of food. Waitress was kind, but careless about basic things. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

Really good location! Service was pretty good- staff was attentive and quick even though we got here about 45 minutes before closing. The lobster mac and cheese (which is actually like risotto) is so freakin’ bomb. Most lobster mac and cheese is overpowered by cheese and you can barely taste the lobster but this one? It’s so fresh and delicate, like you definitely taste the lobster, the use of risotto (or whatever rice like pasta used) is super light and just delicious. The calamari was pretty good as well. Not too breaded or chewy and I loved that marinara! I had a stout beer that was super fresh & light. Would definitely recommend this place ☺️

Beautiful restaurant and bar!!! Being here is an experience, it is a very nice interior. They are a cocktail bar so they have a variety of delicious items to try and they usually have one on special. The food is also great although pricey and you do not get much for your money. They offer happy hour drinks and food specials with kind staff.

Great for brunch. Fast service. Comfortable, plush couch style seating. Weird but I saw a cigarette vending machine in the long hallway that connects the two sides of the restaurant. I definitely prefer the far side of the restaurant. It is usually less crowded and has a less diner like feel. I got the brussel sprout omelet. Sadly they use soybean oil in the home fries (and other menu options like most other restaurants) so I had to get a side of grits for an upcharge. The menu is moderately priced so it was not an issue. The food was good.

I've walked passed this place a million times and my girlfriend's decided we should stop in for a few drinks. The outside looks almost like an old silver diner but when you go inside it's a very small modern restaurant. We ordered some salads and a few appetizers and the food was phenomenal. Excellent service as well! I forget the young man's name who helped us but he was very polite and answered all our questions about drinks and food. The drinks we ordered were very strong maybe could tone it down just a bit, but other than that this was a great first time visit here. They have a huge drink and cocktail selection and a very random food menu. It's a bit pricey but definitely worth it!!

Checked boxes for - good food, great location and awesome cocktails! Right at the corner of 2nd and Market, hard to miss. I will go back again for the variety of cocktails and appetizers. Vegetarian choices too. Don't let the front part of the restaurant fool you, plenty of space inside if planning to go with a group. Attractive decor. Fast service and cooperative staff.

Awesome eggs Benedict !! Steak and eggs burger was alright not a place for burgers a little dry and the Asian pear and blood orange mimosas not to my liking so I'll stick to my regular mimosas but overall great !!!!

This restaurant has mastered catering to differing crowds. During the day and/or front it is an upscale 50s diner. At night, and in the back, it's a ritzy and elegant establishement. While I would highly recommend their cocktails, their food is just as remarkable. The service, day and night, is wonderful and food arrives quickly.
