"This was our third time dining here and we have been very pleased each time. The drinks, food and service are excellent. We always make reservations if possible because the restaurant can get very busy and wait times can be long. There is outdoor seating, a large bar and a large dining area. Pictures show blushing lush cocktail, Pakistani meatball with rice and tomato Curry sauce, scallops with pea risotto, icebox cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake. Enjoy!

"Food was great! Pulley, our server, was informative and on point. We will definitely return since there's a dozen more things we need to try!"

"My husband and I had our eye on this place for a couple months. We moved to this area six months ago and we were really looking forward to a good me. We were not disappointed. We sat at the bar for pre-dinner drinks and enjoyed trying practically every one of them before we moved on to our table. Naturally, we had to try a few desserts. We went with the highly recommended cornbread (you will not be disappointed) and the pork wontons. For our main, I went with the scallops and my husband had the steak. The pea purée was chefs kiss! And of course to finish it off we had to get the cheesecake! We will definitely be back and bringing friends!"

"Domini was our server, and she was awesome. Great suggestions, not overbearing but attentive. I said that it was our anniversary in our reservation that I made online, and she brought us 2 half glasses of complimentary champagne, which was a very nice touch. She waited to see if we were going to order drinks first, though, which i thought was cool. I'm not sure what they would do for non drinkers. She had excellent suggestions for drinks and explained the restaurant's wood fire concept for food. The appetizer we had was the E&I Mexican Street Grit. So good. We were going to get the corn bread, but we like getting things that we would not normally put together at home. Very very good appetizer. The pic only shows one piece. Husband and I each took one piece before I took the picture. Has a slight spiciness which we love but those who dont like spicy I would not suggest it. Husband got the Lincolnville Lager on tap, and it is a very nice light beer. I tried 3 different drinks and ALL very good. I think the champagne toast thing we got was prosecco, and it was good. My first drink, "Oh, you fancy, huh?" Excellent drink to start with. Domini steered me this way when i told her i dont like drinks to be sweet or to tart. Awesome recommendation. Then i ventured to bourbon...an old fashioned. I couldn't help but try because this place seems to know their bourbon, whiskey, and tequilla as they offer flight options. I made my own old-fashioned maple brown sugar, buffalo trace bourbon, and orange bitters with extra cherries. Oh, and paid $1 extra to have it smoked. Deliciousness! Finally, with dinner, I went with the Chimmichuri Steak & a glass of malbec. Chimmichuri steak dinner is hanger steak, so if u can't do MR, then u might want something different. It can get tough after that. I normally would do medium but for fear of toughness and didn't want to risk spending $33 and have a tough steak, so i went medium rare. It was very tender. However, some pieces i would warrant as rare, not mr. My husband ate those pieces. He got the $55 ribeye and said it was ok. He said he would get it again if it was $35-$40. Didn't feel it was worth the price. Also, there wasn't enough demi glace. Im sure if we asked, Dom would have quickly got us some more, its not like we felt that we couldn't we just didn't. Would suggest swapping the fries for the smashed potatoes that the Chimmichuri steak comes with. Veggies were good, but I think they could have had more char on them. Overall we left happy. Total bill was $158 for us. Not bad for 3 rounds of booze, appetizer, and 2 entrees. We will go back and sit at the bar and try some more drinks and appetizers. Thanks for the 1st visit."

"Enjoyed dining here after hearing many good things about them. The hype was up to par. Located in a strip mall there is plenty of parking. They have an outdoor dining area for those who are so inclined. The interior was chic and lovely, open, and busy. The bar area was busy when we arrived on a Saturday around 4:30 and although mostly empty when we say, all the tables were full before we left. Loved the wedge salad, which I shared with my beautiful wife and there was plenty for both of us. She had the Beeliner whole fish while I took our server Liz's advise and tried the duck legs special. We both had the charred okra on the side. The charred flavors of the okra went well with the sweet stickiness of my duck legs, which were huge and meaty. I enjoyed it very much. My wife also loved the fish, which she opted to arrive sans head. (You just have to ask or it will be whole). I also had to try one of their amazing cocktails and really liked the "Oh You Fancy". Definitely a go-to for upscale drinks as all the syrups are crafted in-house. Overall, Liz provided excellent service, the food was very tasty and plentiful, and the overall vibe is fun and exciting. We will definitely return. I'm pondering their brunch for the near future!"
