"such a beautiful little place!! wonder and attentive staff who walked us through everything and gave great recommendations. you really can’t beat the atmosphere in this place it is just so lovely and all the small plates we tried were great! the avocado bites wrapped in bacon were a surprising hit!!"

"Delicious and creative global selections at extremely reasonable prices. Awesome desserts and eclectic cocktail menu. My friend had the Orange Chicken and I had the Chilean Sea Bass YUM!!!!. We had the Irish Creme Moose Trio - super! The flat chips and sauces trio that's put on the table when you're seated is delicious. Outdoor seating is in shade or full sun, indoor seating is behind a large front window and if that's open it's like sitting outside, but without the traffic noise and sun. This is now my go-to lunch with the girls!"

"Blown away. This is an incredible local place with an amazing food and cocktail menu. It gives city vibes without having to go to Chicago and I’m here for it. All the small plates were delicious. I’d say 2 plates/person absolutely will fill you up. You can push for a 3rd but prepare to take food home. This is the spot to dabble in international cuisine. We had so many delicious plates amongst my group of 4. We love that the menu changes seasonally. Cannot wait to come back and devour all the tasty items."

"Killer cocktails and great food. My wife ordered three different cocktails and she loved them all, we even took home a bottle of their Gin. It's a bit small so you may need to do reservations on the weekends but it's well worth it. We spent a rainy Sunday afternoon there and it was splendid. We will definitely be back."
