Edgar SarmientoAugust 6, 2014The tuna burger is delicious. Happy hour is a great deal for fantastic cocktails.
JoyAugust 27, 2011Great ambience. I had the ahi tuna burger and it was delish. Also had couple bites of handmade pasta and it made me crave for more! You can't go wrong with this place.
Tania MazraaniJune 23, 2023Great atmosphere. Food is served surprisingly -too- fast. Was disappointed with the chicken wings: dry and rubbery. The fries were crispy & flavourful, but a lot of broken potato crumbs in the plate.
Lina A.April 26, 2015Busy place, nice cozy atmosphere. Try the shoestring french fries and green chile burger are good. cocktails are good as well.
Good food and service. Hoppin bar area in evening, don't dress like a slob. Spotted sean penn having dinner there one late night
Courtney CaccavoMarch 28, 2015Get the rosemary chicken and green chile mac n cheese. Free salted caramel chocolate chip cookie at the end!
Andrea BelterOctober 17, 2012Megan F is AWESOME, ask for her! Beyond delicious food, the brussel sprout salad is great, and the cookies are phenomenal. Definitely a must visit.
D KFebruary 15, 2016Lobster sliders, curry cauliflower, mushroom carbonara, cocktails - all delicious!!
HelenApril 12, 2013The dip plate is amazing and the mountain of fries truly is a mountain of fries. If you're near sighted make sure to bring a flashlight.
Matthew LeeJuly 15, 2015The crispy lobster nik niks are a must. The baked mac and cheese with pancetta is great as well.
Dan BuhlerSeptember 12, 2019Salmon skewers and peach toast were great. Also can’t beat the cocktails and friendly bartenders.
Ieva AndrukaitytėNovember 28, 2014Have a complimentary sea salt cookie at the end. A good choice of local beers and excellent food. On the pricey side.
OliverSeptember 12, 2015Their fried chicken is something i crave all the time. Mac n cheese delicious and the mixed drinks are the best!!!
Chuck ThomasJuly 12, 2013Great atmosphere. Great service, and the food ain't bad either. Be prepared to wait for a table in the evening, but worth it.
Rachel MercerJuly 12, 2012Arrive early and grab a seat at the bar before it gets too crazy. Fabulous array of Happy Hour drinks. The fried grits are a must.
Tim KoenigSeptember 28, 2011Great food, great atmosphere, and friendly servers. Definitely coming back! The chocolate chip cookies with sea salt were amazing (wishing i had more room for them).
Demand Media StudiosJuly 27, 2012Great food, amazing drinks and your meal comes with free homemade chocolate chip cookies with sea salt. No way you can go wrong here!
BollareNovember 29, 2012Great vibe and food and drinks. (Icing on the cake, is the complimentary salted cookie they give you after your meal!) -Jessica F.
Karen LibsonAugust 6, 2011The mussels are amazing! Love this place for the setting, the food, and the drinks! They also play some great tunes, entire LCD Soundsystem album while we ate.
Pieter De JaegerJuly 11, 2018Ahi tuna burger is a must-try. Also loved the complimentary cookies at the end of the meal
Sarah LeCroyFebruary 21, 2013We loved: chickpea wraps, bacon wrapped dates, the fried chicken sandwich and the yellow jacket cocktail. All delicious!
Anika D.May 22, 2013Great atmosphere and food! Also the first place in the US where I found "Aperol Spritz" on the menu. Must try!
Happy hour runs from 12-7 p.m. every day, with some great deals (considering typical pricing in the area). Get there before 6 p.m. if you want a seat at the bar, however.
Nabeel ZoAugust 12, 2019Their mac & cheese is one of best.. the service & overall atmosphere is really good
Brian WilliamsonJune 11, 2014You want cocktails before your meal and sea salt chocolate chip cookies afterward? This is the place.
Bobby KennedyMarch 2, 2016Awesome atmosphere, great drinks and a tasty variety of small plates to share.
Prime Rib Sliders. Holy sh*t. Kale salad is awe-inspiring. Be patient because between 5-9 you're likely waiting so try and snag a seat at the bar.
Lillian CheungMarch 15, 2017Lobster nik naks, fries, Goodnight Emilie cocktail and free salted chocolate cookies...
PatrickOctober 16, 2012The Mezcal Yellow Jacket is out of this world if you like sweet, smoky, and spicy, all in a span of one sip. So good!
Kim LarsenJuly 18, 2016Great drinks. Try their Pisco Sour or if you like smokey drinks, the Mescal Sour.
Fiona HillJanuary 28, 2015Excellent friendly service. Best burger ever. Lovely Lobster Sandwich. Definitely worth a visit.
Ahi tuna burger, ask for it rare. Chorizo mussels & roasted parsnips w Basilb pistachio pesto. Bloody Mary tops it off!
MohammedDecember 29, 2015The Green Chile Burger and the Chicken Burger are really good ! So is the Kale Salad.
Tom LameyAugust 24, 2012Do not leave without getting the chocolate chip cookies. For an extra sassiness (Phil Hartman SNL reference) and a history lesson ask for server Lauren.
Nick RosenOctober 10, 2011Delicious tapas-style food, great selection of drinks, amazing ambience, and the music is the icing on the cake (Black Keys, Roots, etc.)
Zuri DenekenJuly 12, 2014Great place! Try the prime rib and don't leave without tasting their famous cookies
