Came here at a company after work gathering. Although we called ahead to make a reservation for 14 people, when we arrived at the reserved time, the tables were not ready yet. We had to pull the tables together by ourselves. When we sat down, the service was quick. The girl served our table, Maggie, was very nice and attentive. But all other staff looked like all in a rush, without greeting or eye contact. Now talk about the good part. All the dishes and drinks we ordered were delicious and fresh. This restaurant seems a very popular place. We got patio seatings which was very nice outside. Inside it seemed packed. By the time we left at around 7pm, the parking lot was full. There was a band playing inside. Worth a trip.

The Mgr JR was amazing.. even tho the wait was excruciating he made our experience a great one.. for my 1st time there it wasn't bad.. the only thing I would change is the mac n cheese recipe.. that sucked!! The noodles were hard, not tender and it needed more cheese.. if not I would give it the 5 stars.. but because of JR he gets 4.. hopefully my next time will be as great!! Thank you

First timer.. The decor is actually pretty cool. Aviator and cute little monkeys. As you can see in the photos, there is a bohemian vibe going on too. If you have never been here be very careful, as the location is on a kind of tricky intersection. If you are coming from 175, it is on your right but really quick right. If you are coming from the Berlin Tpke it is on your right but be mindful of the cars merging from 175. The owners must be very proud and involved. Inside is very clean and the wait staff seem to be very conscious of the patrons. The menu is a bit diverse as you could virtually get something from every taste palate, here. The drinks are pretty good, as well. The food is actually very tasty and eye pleasing. Now to the hardest part, for me... In my honest, humble opinion the prices are a bit steep for the menu, location and ambiance. I simply could not justify ordering what I really wanted. I understand COVID kind of dictates things now but it kind of governs my budget too. 😔 On the positive side... The bar seemed hopping and they have... wait for it... LIVE MUSIC!!! OMG... what a beautiful thing. I will return and maybe do drinks and apps just to enjoy the music. Take a trip to the Flying Monkey, to see for yourself. Let me know what you think 🙋🏾‍♀️

Loved the food, drink, and vibe of this place. This is a quite busy restaurant so booking is recommended. We liked their Egg roll with mac & cheese chicken, aviator chicken, and cross-check chicken. The espresso take-off martini was superb. I would recommend going to this place just keep in mind there are fewer vegetarian options.
