"It's a really cool vibe there. Very small but it wasn't busy at 7 on a Saturday night. Food was pretty good, definitely some interesting takes on a few things. Like the meatballs and stuffed peppers were fantastic, but the cold scallop on top of egg salad was just an odd combo. The octopus with potato was very mediocre. There's a ton of stuff to try so I know there's gonna be some things that hit and some that miss. Service was mostly fine, nothing actually bad about it, just wished they had taken the time to explain what they do there and give an explanation to at least the charcuterie board. We had to eat hustle another table get the run down to know what we even had. It's definitely a spot I will return to and explore more of the menu."

"We had a great night sitting at the bar chatting up the staff. They taught us a lot about the meat and cheese on our board. Great place for a date night!"

"Delicious food and a great environment. My family went for Sunday brunch and was able to try their brunch specials paired with some additional food from the main menu. Overall wonderful choice with a unique selection of food and drinks."

"Great place to have a charcuterie board! The sandwiches are fantastic as well - great meets, cheeses, and bread, and all are fairly priced. They have several wines on tap as well and service is good."

"I've picked up tons of charcuterie boards here for different events--photoshoots, get-togethers, etc. Yesterday was the first time I had ever eaten in. I did a wine flight (selection of 3) and shared a half board (2 meats & 2 cheeses). It was a great pre-dinner snack! I think next time I'll try the Cuban sandwich. The guy sitting next to me was raving about it! The space is mainly set up for quick pick-up/take-out but there is bar seating, tables downstairs for several small and one large group. There are also tables upstairs before the catwalk. There were people there solo, some studying, some doing work, and a group rendezvous. We were there on a date. It's really a versatile location. Geneviève was our bartender. She was extremely helpful in helping us make our selections. The store manager was also very pleasant and answered my many questions. He definitely knows the business well! Highly recommend!"
