★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Hosted my birthday here and it was a great time! The staff was very sweet, friendly and attentive. Everyone enjoyed the food and they even gave to go boxes so no food went to waste. The vibes were great and the staff was helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend.
September 22 · Andrea HeslerOne of my all time favorite spots for food, booze, and fun. Love to sit out when there's open streets, and to sit inside and enjoy the decor!
September 27 · Cameron RockeleinThe best food I had during my trip to NYC — absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming with unique decor and plants, and the service was top-notch. Friendly, funny servers made the whole experience unforgettable!
September 25 · Natalie Houckreally wanted to like this place, however, food was just very unpleasant. our fries had so much chunky garlic it absolutely just didn’t make sense. we also had the mac daddy burger, it was so overdone even thought we asked for it medium. the patty to burger ratio was incredibly off. our main server was very rude to my partner under the guise of being “helpful”. really strange place and not in a cool fun way.
August 03 · Mychaela BuecheWent there for brunch. Pretty busy, but the food came fast and not bad at all
