I have seen some of the reviews of bad experiences and found my recent experience could not be more different. My wife and I went for a date and had a wonderful time on their hidden back patio. It felt cozy and secluded from the alley etc. Our server was great and the bar manager’s reccomendations were excellent. I got the Pajaro Verde, which was great and not too spicy and my wife got the Kodachrome Greens, which she loved. The rotating drink menu was also excellent. My wife loved the classic and the Brazilian margarita. I liked every drink I had ( cant remember the first one but the second was lavender menace) and on the reccomendation of the bar manager got a rum espresso martini which turned out to be amazing. It was my first time trying one with rum and if I go back I would definitly get another. This truly is a neighborhood gem. Literally my only criticism is that the duck fat fries were a little soggy and could have been left cooking a little more to give them more crunch. We will be back.

We like having cute sit-down spots in the neighborhood, but this place needs to figure out who they are. The food was good and it was pretty cute, but you order via a QR code like you’re at burger joint or brewery, but then there are servers kinda hanging around/running food? My advice for any brand is to know yourself and what you want to be. Is this place a cafe or a nice, casual restaurant?

We really enjoyed their burgers! Their signature Bluebird chicken burger is beyond delicious so juicy and tasty! My spouse had the Truffle burger which was also tasty.

5 stars for everything. We were so surprised by how good the food was. It’s gourmet meets patio bar. Perfectly crispy chicken sandwiches, buttery pretzel bread, creamy, smokey Gouda, duck fat fries, smooth refreshing drinks and a great spot to catch up with a neighbor.

My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich which came on a pretzel bun; and, I had the Cobb salad. We shared a side of the elotes corn. Everything was delicious! The chicken breast was juicy with flavors that popped. The salad was a generous portion and fresh. We both enjoyed the elotes but the flavors would have been elevated if the corn was fresh roasted and cut off the Cobb. They have a paperless QR digital menu; and, you can order/pay for everything from your phone. If asked, they also have paper menus available. There is patio seating in the back which we will have to try next time. Overall, delicious and we will be back!

Lovely polite genuine service. Excellent food. Great Bloody Mary! We were happy to eat inside but they have a very attractive outside area which is enclosed in the back of the restaurant. I would be back anytime I’m in that neighborhood I might even make a point of it. It’s a small storefront so make sure you’re looking

A nice and quaint neighborhood restaurant on Central with plenty of street parking on nearby streets. Menus are available via the QR code on the placard at each table, or you can order direct from the staff. You can order and pay online via an app or , again, do so directly. The beer was very good with my wife taking a craft pilsner and myself an American IPA. My wife had a large dish of fish and chips, and I had a beefsteak sandwich. Both were good. The waiters were clearly in a happy place and seemed to enjoy doing their jobs. The restaurant was clean. The establishment was not crowded, so there was no pressure to hurry up, eat, and leave. Plenty of time to relax. As such 4-stars.

Awesome new neighborhood spot serving upscale American fare. They have a fairly large back patio that’s perfect for summer dining. There’s a nice cocktail list, some salad options, quite a few burgers / sandwiches, and a selection of entrees as well. I recommend the Bacon Jam Burger and the Mac and Cheese. You also order everything via a website and they bring it all to your seat.

Food was pretty good, burgers were tasty. Prices are decent; although sides are also carte. The salads optioned are great and I would come back to try a chicken sandwich. It’s a nice neighborhood spot; the place has potential. Overall, the service was lacking. There aren’t actual servers/waiters who take orders- the one woman working the patio said it was to “reduce the amount of back and forth for the servers.” so if that’s what you’re looking for in your dining experience this isn’t the spot for you. You have to order through scanning a QR code, put a credit card on file to secure the order. You also pay through the app. This is unfortunate if you order several things in hopes that one will come out first (such as a salad); instead all the food comes out at once; our food order was all incorrect any they brought out the wrong burger and Mac n cheese. The last issue I had was there isn’t an option to split the check in the app, which is fine if we were given a heads up, but there’s no servers beyond someone running food. I don’t think I would go back. Maybe do take out since the food was tasty!

I’d been dying to try this place since they opened. We’d needed exciting new places to eat in the area. The place is cozy and we liked the atmosphere. The staff is very attentive and gave us some very good recommendations. They have a paper menu and a scannable one and they give you a choice of how you would prefer to order. You can give your order to the wait staff or order and pay through the scannable option. My hubs got the Truffle burger because who doesn’t love truffles? And I got the cheese steak and a side of regular fries. My husband was a little underwhelmed by his choice. He ordered the burger MR and it came out well done. The flavor was amazing but he thought it was dry due to being over cooked. My cheese steak was the absolute BEST that we have ever had. The bread was great as well. We both loved it, would get it again and we highly recommend it. The fries were cold although if they were hot they would have been really good. We will come back and try their chicken sandwiches which my son said are the best he’s ever had. It’s a new place in our area and it has so much going for it. We feel like it will improve with time. After all, the flavors are spot on and it may have just been an off day. They also share tips with the kitchen staff which is a nice touch. Over all, we enjoyed it and will be back!
