We are huge Hamilton fans and came here because of the connection not really sure what to expect. It blew us away. The food was great. The history and ambience was amazing. Our teenage boys loved it as well. I highly recommend the soup and grilled cheese sandwich with bacon. We would definitely come back again.

I had the pleasure of celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday with a group of 14 friends. We planned the event months in advance to secure a space. We selected the prix fixe menu for our large group and the food and service was exceptional! I would like to thank Maria taking care of our group! Maria made us feel valued as restaurant guests. Maria was extremely kind and professional and went about d and beyond to provide excellent customer service. Also, Christian the manager was great! He did an amazing job managing the restaurant and his mezcal flight presentation was top notch! The fire dancer was an exceptional touch and added excitement to a great evening. She took the time to greet our table and took pictures with our group. The food, service and ambiance was made for a memorable evening for my wife’s 50th birthday celebration! Keep up the good work! Last, but not least, special thanks to Daynah at group reservations for helping me get everything scheduled with the menu and seating arrangements. Daynah was so helpful and responsive to my emails and requests for information. Awesome job!
