Wow this place is just amazing. Their pork belly appetizers was crispy in every bite. And their brisket hit all the right spots. Everyone that works here is super nice especially my Spanish server that worked on the night of 7/22. They also validate parking here!

Found this place by googling food places around the arts district, since we were planning on going to the bars there for the night. We were not disappointed, the atmosphere was very modern and chill. The waiters were friendly and very attentive. But what made me love this place was the food. I got the baby back ribs and they were delicious. I also tried their baked beans and mashed potatoes. Everything I ordered I loved and more than likely will come again if I’m the area.

Here for lunch for the first time with a 1.5-year-old toddler. Expected so-so given the 4.1 rating currently. Pleasantly impressed!

This night was a such a great experience. Being from Arizona, We were in the need for a fun yet quality dining experience to end our day. The atmosphere was fun and did exactly what we wanted it to! The service was the best and the guys at the bar delivered! That watermelon salad was one of the best I have ever had. The chilis added the best crunch and flavor contrast! Those eggs are to die for! Now, I could go on and on about the Brussels and the truffle Frites! However, the meat stole the show with the sauces. Just a night to relax and enjoy the vibe. If you want a spot that is great and has a good happy hour and late. Igor’s in the city, this is the spot!

Had a dinner with my team members; tried out brisket deviled eggs, wings, street tacos, house nachos, and couple of meat platters. I thought their seasoning was just a bit too salty but others members were enjoying the food and drink. The atmosphere was quiet and staff members were super friendly. I would comeback to this place.

Aug 22 Update: stopped by again for dinner and drinks. Ordered deviled eggs, sliders and tacos. Food was great. Great experience. Ordered Sangria as well which was delish.

More bar than BBQ, this modern gastropub setting with excellent ambiance, but misses the mark totally in delivering real smokey BBQ.
