Food quality is inconsistent: the chicken and waffles are a recurring point of contention, sometimes dry with small portions or perceived as overpriced, while other dishes such as tartare, salmon tartare, fried chicken, mac and cheese, and oysters receive praise for flavor and preparation. Portions range from generous to modest, and the balance between bar bites and more substantial plates can feel uneven. Drinks are often highlighted as a major strength, with well crafted cocktails, solid margaritas, and an appealing wine list that enhances the experience. The ambiance, energy, and attentive service encourage return visits, even when food quality and value vary between meals.View restaurant profile
