The food is the bomb!!! Salmon bites seasoned to perfection. The best chicken Alfredo I had in a very long time. That downriver sauce for the chicken is everything. They lamb chops were delicious, but I wish they would ask how u want them, as they were overbooked which made them a little tough. They were still delicious. The customer service was excellent.My only complaint was the drinks were not strong. They were watered down a bit. I definately will be going back that for the food alone.

No complaints, service was good, the bar was empty when I went, which is perfectly fine with me! Ordered a Philly cheesesteak, my only suggestion would be a bigger, better quality bun for such a well seasoned sandwich.

Feels like the bar from Grand theft auto San Andreas in there. The colors and decor are very cool and clean. We went in there on election night and I was obnoxiously drunk. Everybody was friendly to us. Me and my friend smashed some tacos and went home happy. It was pretty late and understaffed for them to be ready like that to make us food. I was VERY impressed by that, and boy, I needed some tacos badly at that time. Honestly, can't wait to go back there.

We came on Friday early to have a business meeting. Meeting went well and we are awesome finger food (salads, sandwiches, chicken were all fabulous) there. The chef even came out to meet us. Then later on there were 2 different jazz musicians there. They were outstanding. I would definitely recommend this place for business and music.

I was actually really more satisfied than I imagined. The food was amazing we ordered the salmon bites with fries, lamb chops, and ground beef tacos. It was Thursday and chill vibes let us out certain songs on. Green tea shots and lemon drop shots for 3 dollars. Pool tables were def good time as well. The server Erica is literally a sweetie she made sure we were good the whole night. Can’t wait to come back I’m planning on having party here

Soft Opening. Our first time here. Never visited the old business. They are still getting the hang of things, but everyone was welcoming. Menu is small, but says there is more to come, and has everything you want in bar food. These downriver wings were amazing. A sweet, sticky, spicy, tangy sauce on crispy full wings. Good chill atmosphere. Music was jukebox, top 40 leaning towards Hip Hop and RnB more thab other genres. We'll be back.
