   We did a Saturday Morning Brunch w/ our littles and had a fantastic time. They split an order of pancakes (kids menu) and a side of fruit. We started with the Big Mozz Sticks and each had entrees and everything was fantastic. Reggie was a great server!

   We loved everything about our evening here except for the excessively loud music! We had a group of 3 adults and chose 5 small plates/appetizers and split a dessert. The food was amazing: Caesar salad, cheesy/garlicky shrimp, Brussels sprouts, lamb chops, ahi tuna. I didn’t have the lamb chops, but my companions did and they both thought they were out of this world! My favorite was the Brussels sprouts! The service was excellent. We ended with the bread pudding, and we all enjoyed that as well. I would try to sit outside next time to avoid the loud music, but you can hear the music from their sister restaurant next door, so it won’t be that quiet!

   Me & my friend decided on this place as a midway point between Baltimore & DC. It's ducked off and un-assuming unless you know what you're looking for but its a classy place with a great aesthetic. Plenty of parking within the garage We arrived too late for happy hour (which is only at the bar anyway) but there was plenty of space, so we took a quiet corner to catch up. We shared a few plates - mussels, brussels sprouts & the grilled branzino dinner and washed down with a couple of cocktails. Our server was sweet, albeit a little slow to check on us but pleasant each time she did. Starting off, the Mary Jane cocktail was different but interesting. It's made with avocado which made it a little thicker like puree; I enjoyed it. All of the dishes were delicious - the sauce in the mussels was a little thick but very savory, the brussels were charred real nice and served with 'liquid feta' & hot honey sauce, and the branzino was perfect! The presentation reflected an 'almondine' palette - grilled with lemon, green beans w/ sliced almonds and mashed potatoes. Super tasty and even with us splitting it, it was still a nice size portion. This place is perfect for a lowkey dinner vibe, family friendly and they have their sister property right next door 'Vacation' if you want more of the upbeat, after work happy hour crowd

   Our waitress was so sweet and attentive! The coffee was great as was the food. My grandpa and I had a nice little breakfast on a rainy Tuesday. The music was a tad loud so I felt like I had to yell a little to be heard but that’s literally my only gripe. The food and staff were fantastic!

    This place serves delicious food for a reasonable price as well as nichey drinks for an above average price. The atmosphere is definitely casual so dress in comfotable clothing! Dont wear a tie or slacks. Jeans, shorts and a t-shirt will work fine. A polo is dressy here. The food is definitely worth the visit if you can tolerate the open space (AKA “noisy”) environment. This is a pretty bustling place and the tables are close. Our waiter was nice, but there was an entire family that came in, sat down, was served and was almost finished eating by the time we were served…. same waiter… So that’s why the markdown on service. Fun and casual restaurant.
