    We decided to sit at the bar, got fantastic service. The salmon was delicious, very fresh and perfectly cooked (although the portion was a bit small). Fries were dry, but the onion rings were perfect!

    This place is one of a kind. I had the Urban Burger with spiced maple bacon and side of asparagus fries. One of the greatest dining experiences of my life. Don't skip their warm butter cake!

    The rainbow trout was unreal. I subbed out the kale for some Idaho mashed potatoes that were some of the best I've ever had. Also, the lamb and grilled artichokes were amazing!

    Mixology in rare form! Thyme lemon simple syrup and bourbon will turn anyone from their normal drink...lollipop lamb appetizers are just the beginning of bliss on the menu... Go, and go again!

    Great space, great drinks and creative casual American cuisine. Make sure you have one their cocktails and save room for the bread pudding.

    Very friendly servers. Appetizer: lamb lollipop, fried asparagus. Dinner: salmon with risotto although risotto looks a bit too runny for my liking
