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.

Excerpts

I was really excited to try this restaurant, but unfortunately I don’t think I would go back. The fish burger was a solid 4/5 — good, but nothing particularly unique or memorable. We ordered two plates of chicken strips with fries. While the portions of chicken were generous, they were extremely stingy with the fries — maybe about 13 fries per plate. The chicken strips were also somewhat dry, and we barely touched them. They ended up sitting in my fridge for a week before going in the trash. I didn’t try their beer, so I can’t comment on that. However, Hibiscus hard seltzer was very disappointing — it tasted like stale sparkling water with almost no flavor. It definitely sounds way better than it tastes. For $9 a glass, I expect something better.

TLDR: Good food and drink. Large covered patio. Parking is challenging. Menu is QR, but printed menus were available. We were in the area and looking for comfort food and a drink one evening. This stood out as a good choice. The place was easy to find, but parking is challenging. There is a tiny lot in back and the rest is street parking. I need an accessible space and fortunately there was an open one on the street in front. They have a small amount of seating inside, but also have a large covered patio. We chose to eat outside and it was lovely. My wife decided to have their chicken strips and fries. When she was asked how spicy, she chose medium. I had the fish burger and fries, and selected the Avery White Belgian to drink, which went perfectly with my meal. My wife had the Silk and Spice red blend. She found it to be unusual, but very enjoyable. Our food arrived nice and hot and was all very good. The chicken strips were just perfectly spicy, and the fish on my burger was probably 3/4” thick. I ended up taking off half the bun because it was a LOT. The chili relish really added a nice flavor to the sandwich. Overall, we greatly enjoyed our meal and the environment. Our one gripe was that no one ever came and checked back in on us. We would have ordered a second drink, but by the time someone came by we just decided to take off. Maybe they were just light on help that Friday night. We would probably try them again though.

Food was delicious the drinks were phenomenal the whole vibe was awesome and I love that we were able to bring our furry baby to dine out with us.
