Great experience. Dined in with two small children and didn’t feel out of place. Exposed kitchen concept made the food taste better - don’t ask how! Briquette 75 was tasty. Filet Mignon, Brussels sprouts and potato’s were perfectly cooked. Kids had chicken tenders and fries. Will be back, often!

A little hidden gem , with great decor, and awesome vibe! Food was great and the value - fantastic! Options to save money if you pay by cash so we paid by cash. We tried new dishes and kept a few staples. Best dish was the muscles with garlic sauce and excellent bread! Would have liked to try the Red Fish, but was out at the time. Thank you!
