Punch drunk love cocktail was good. The food was okay. Tad over priced in my opinion, for a $45 steak and fries that was kinda lackluster. Perfectly cooked but not much flavor. The salmon was alright as well. Again cooked great, but nothing really special. Thank you for the experience.

Where do I start…. Loved this place from looking on the menu (didn’t love that the only way to reserve was through the current system and not additional options, but that’s just my preference), arrived and it was a homey feel, the decor was very eclectic on the rooftop. Loved the rooftop garden that was used for drinks. I was very happy with our service as well as the food and vibe. Also, I loved seeing that the patrons had a wonderful variety of ethnicities! Will definitely be returning! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Impromptu night out and found this gem that’s been in the neighborhood for 15yrs. Abdul was a wonderful server. The food was AMAZING Kudos to the chef. I hope they are there the next time I go for a consistent meal experience. Drinks were well balanced. Had the warm drink on a cold night by the fireplace near the table. I will be back for sure!

Can’t believe I’ve never stopped by. Really delicious food; the portions are great for the price. You can really tell that quality matters to the kitchen. Service was perfect – attentive but not overbearing. We’ll be back!

Awesome drinks and apps. We asked the bartender (Laurie) to make her special and she made us a mango with jalapeño infused margarita and it was delicious. We also liked the polenta with chef special vodka based dressing

The food was pretty surprising, given the interesting menu. We had the sliders which were a little too greasy for our liking but, delicious mushrooms and shoestring fries. We also had the steak fries and the steak was well seasoned and cooked right. The truffle mayonnaise and the barbecue sauce were delicious albeit with a little too much rosemary. Our hostess Natalia was wonderful and extremely welcoming. We’re definitely coming back!

Delicious! We came here for a Sunday brunch and both the tostada and breakfast sandwich were delicious. The little muffins they bring to your table were such a nice (and tasty) touch as well! The atmosphere is trendy and fun too.

Me and my wife went for an early dinner. The server was pretty dry and direct with little personality but he wasn’t bad. We had the Beef Brisket potato rounds, Cauliflower Steak and Brisket Sandwich. Everything was properly cooked, being just a tad under seasoned all around. Nothing bad about the experience but it didn’t impress us and with the slew of restaurants near Grove, nothing makes this place be the #1 choice. I hear the rooftop bar is the highlight but I didn’t get to see that this trip.

I came here a year ago and really enjoyed it. I came back again yesterday and it was a completely different experience. The host was pretty rude to me and told me I had to wait 20 min even though there was an open table. I went outside to wait and 10 min later my friend went in to ask her about the open table. The host said it would another 20 min wait. My friend said there are three open tables and then we finally got seated but she was very rude to me and kept lying about the time. It made me feel like she didn’t want me to dine there for some reason. The food took 40 min to come out and we were so hungry. It took so long we devoured the very mediocre tasting food. The waiter was really nice but that’s about it.
