Monday during happy is a great time to visit. I have tried several things on the menu but the lamb burger and sweet potato fries really hits the spot. A pita is used instead of a regular burger bun and the large lamb patty comes with some fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and a yogurt sauce. This with a mojito has become my go to Monday treat.

Love that it’s dog friendly!! There was no wait when we got there for dinner. I ordered shrimp and chicken pasta and it was delicious, huge shrimps and big chunks of chicken, so creamy! My husband got the burger and he loved it! It was happy hour so we got some drinks! Mojito was refreshing! He got a mango beer and I ended up ordering one for me!

I was recommended this restaurant and it did not disappoint. My wife and I decided to give it a try this past Sunday for brunch and we were in for an amazing experience. My wife got the shrimp and grits and it was delicious. I order the blackened salmon and it was cooked to perfection. The salmon came with wild rice but with it being brunch hours I ordered an extra side of crab grits; I was so glad I did because the taste of the grits were amazing too. The service was great too. My wife added us to the wait list while we were on our way there. When we arrived we were seated immediately. I have heard of this place before, but never been. The entire feel of the restaurant is simply amazing. From the customer service to the music and of course the food.... I definitely recommend this place without question.

Love. This. Place. What a great vibe when you walk in. There’s a mini bookstore, it’s artsy and people are always on the go. Came here for lunch got a couple cocktails. We got a mojito and sangria. For food we got shredded beef barbacoa tacos as recommended by the bartender. And the lamb sliders with sweet potato fries. Everything was amazing. The tacos and sliders were so flavorful. I ordered the tacos but ended up stealing two of my partners lamb sliders. That’s how good they were! The lamb sliders are a must try. They weren’t too moist but weren’t too dry. Sweet potato fries were great. Service was great. Also, I’ve come here before and gotten the Iraqi corned beef hash. Y’all have to try that as well it’s absolutely amazing!
