    This is one of the gems of Lincoln Square. Definitely try to dine on the patio. Best service and just a very happy staff. The scallops were like butter. Can't wait to go again.

    Brussel Sprouts cannot be overlooked! The Mussels were the best I have ever had! Everything here is high quality and reasonably priced. I will go here time and again

    The meat and cheese board were great, and the burger was delicious. The back patio was cozy and the service was prompt and helpful. I'll definitely be going back, and maybe sit next to the kitchen!

    Totally freaking incredible. Do whatever you can to sit at the chef’s counter and order through the whole menu. Highlights include the fried enoki mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, and the raviolo.

    Celebrate spring with their brioche french toast or their brunch salad which is finished with a poached egg. Why not try a new brunch beverage, like a breakfast stout or a Sunday session ale? Read more

    Interesting menu with plates to share so you can try multiple dishes. Try the gnocchi and the harvest apple salad, mmm. The cocktails are tasty esp The Count and Basil Smash. Great staff!

    Innovative menu and amazing staff. Recommend the ricotta and green bean appetizer. Had a spectacular tofu special with peaches and spices that MUST stay on the menu (although it was a small portion)

    Had the family style dinner. They give you portions for everyone at your table. $26/person. Included your pick of 2 starters, a main and a desert. Tasty. Heated outdoor seating w/ good ambiance

    The food is incredible there's nothing disappointing about this place. Sticky Buns are incredible. Best burger and beef tartar in town. The chefs are also so friendly! Definitely a fav!

    The kitchen brings an artist's eye to preparations such as hamachi crudo with citrus segments and horizontal smears of citrus sauce, and crispy artichokes alongside a lazy river of artichoke puree. Read more

    They only allow reservations on half the tables, making it easier to just drop-in. Brussel sprouts and scallops are the favorites so far.
