This place is a gem! The vibes are perfect and the prices are fair. Good music, cute decor, amazing friendly service. I got the Korean fried chicken bowl and a berry basil mocktail. It was so good and the presentation was beautiful. My fiance ordered a plain burger and they mistakenly made him one with all the toppings. We didn’t say anything because things happen and it’s no biggie; he just started quietly taking the toppings off his burger, but one of the staff saw him and kindly offered to remake it which was so nice and unexpected!! I can’t say enough nice things. We will be back! I want to try all the bowls! - Tina V
