Went to B&P for date night after not visiting for a long time. It was nice to be back! We got the focaccia and it was amazing! The serving size is huge and the pickled peppers were sweet and tangy. For dinner we did the Capone Experience and everything was delightful. We especially loved the steak, swordfish, and birthday cheesecake. We can't wait to go back!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Cocktails are the main reason to go here instead of the other Epiphany Farms venues, but the tasting menu is a close second. Both are well-curated and interesting, and seasonally influenced. The hosts up front always make the speakasy aspect fun if you don't have a reservation, and if you do, the passphrases are appropriate to the theme. The restaurant is uniquely decorated and the main dining room is beautiful and comfortable. The staff are friendly and get along well, which goes quite a ways toward making the atmosphere welcoming and comfortable. I've never had a bad meal here, but for best results, always get the special. When they're busy some dishes can take a little longer or come out overcooked, but even then the high quality ingredients and interesting combinations make for an excellent dining experience. Highly recommend.

This is such a fun experience!! We have visited previously for "the experience," but this time, we ordered items off the menu. (BLT, smashburger, roasted broccoli, brownie) Both times, we loved our dishes and would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes to try new foods. Fun for a date night, special occasion, or just because. I love the decoration from the Edison bulbs to the artwork to the speakeasy aesthetic. The bar is beautiful. The dishes are delicious. It's definitely worth checking out!!
