We had 3 appetizers and the French onion soup. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. The shrimp scampi skillet dip appetizer was absolutely amazing!

Just opened and wanted to give it a try as I have had good experiences at Jasper’s Backyard in Conshy. Definitely still working out kinks. Thought food was ok but nothing to hurry back for. Service needs work. Waitress used tablet to put in order and was really struggling to enter. When apps arrived we had to ask for plates. We also had to ask for more water and waitress didn’t check in to see if we wanted refills on drinks. A different entree was served to my daughter then she ordered. When her’s arrived (burger) she said it wasn’t we good. Area good use good restaurant so hope they figure things out

Been twice. Service and quality of food has been solid. The noise level is outrageous and a major detractor to the ambience. It’s impossible to hold a conversation with the person sitting right next to you.

The food wasn’t good. We ordered the fried buffalo cauliflower and it was hard as a rock. The Caesar salad was bland. It’s like they just sprinkled Parmesan on it. The Cobb came out with no dressing at all. It was cold in the restaurant. Wanted to love it and an alternative to McGerks. It’s not going to happen.

Nice, new bar-restaurant atmosphere. Server took our kids' drink orders and left before we could put in our drink orders. Food came out extremely quickly which was a pleasant surprise but we never saw our server from the time she took our order until we flagged her down for boxes and the check. The menu had a decent selection but was a little pricey compared to the quality/flavor profiles. Would definitely try again in a few weeks/months to see if anything changes since opening.

The food, service, and seating was excellent. The parking lot was tough since there wasn’t any open spaces. When I mentioned it to the hostess she said that the bank parking lot next to the restaurant was available. So that is good to know. The noise level is high which could be off setting if you want to have a quiet conversation. But all and all a very good place to eat.

First time visit to this new neighborhood restaurant. Some interesting items on the menu, but somewhat limited in entrees - lots of starters, sandwiches, flatbread. However, food was good and service was excellent. The restaurant was crowded for a rainy Wednesday night. BUT the noise level was awful - very hard to have a conversation at a table of only 4. Will probably wait to go back when weather improves and can eat outside to limit the noise level.
