Great food honestly everyone loved their dishes for the most part! The cheese curds were the best cheese curds I’ve had in my life and I am usually NOT a cheese curds person. The cornbread was on the drier side however and extremely crumbly. I will say perhaps the prices are a smidge too high? food itself was great. Me and one other person got full just sharing the cheese curds so there’s definitely enough of the portion; environment is quaint and dimly lit with some fun art and colors around. Their menu is diverse and there are gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options as well. I would say all the dishes are shareable so because of that the price per head is pretty reasonable

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.

Anthony, excellent job making us feel welcome. Got me covered with the rye manhattan. Spot on! Recommended local favorites and caterered to our every desire. Appetizers were spectacular. Loved the Seoul Bites!

Menu has a nice mix of options to pick from. We settled on the Meat & Potato and Not Grandma's Meatloaf sandwich. Ribeye was pretty good and cooked how I ordered. Calling the potato "hassleback" is a stretch, let's just call it halved baked potato with a few cuts - but I'm being picky. They have an interesting list of cocktails, wines and beers. I had their C.U. Cosmo which was nicely made and also tried their Blueberry Crumble Beer - pretty good. It's a nice space that has interesting decor and spacious seating - at least you don't feel stuffed in their like sardines. Overall we had a great time and would return again to try some of the other plates.
