Our first time. Didn’t know what to expect other than it’s rating a a few reviews. Everything was beyond expectations. We eat out a lot and we like and choose higher end restaurants. This was a great experience. Can’t wait to go again.

This place is fantastic. I was visiting from the west coast and was enamored with the ambiance of the restaurant. It's beautiful to look at and the food was exceptional. We dined on a Tuesday for "Hungarian Night" and as fellow Hungarians, we were incredibly impressed! Just like home. :) The drinks were delicious and all the details of the decor were to die for. The Dachshund decor.....OMG. A restaurant after my very own heart and soul. Can not wait to come back!!! Can not recommend highly enough.

Amazing drinks and amazing food. The atmosphere was incredible and the staff was very friendly. As a bartender myself, the cocktails were so well thought out and so tasty and well put together.

outside table on a sept evening was perfect, crowded and lively, food portions great, guacamole was delicious, great night with friends only 4 stars for service but it was probably just because of how hopping it was, not a deal breaker, would come again

I found this place through TikTok and it lives up to the hype. It was exactly what we were looking for from the ambiance, the service to the food. 10/10 recommend to anyone coming from out of town.

    Fabulous time! Our server Brianna was super nice and the food was amazing as always. We were there at an off hour and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere for an early dinner. I tried tempeh for the first time and enjoyed the preparation immensely. Thank you for opening up my mind and palate.

    What a hidden gem! Great tasting food, excellent service, and huge portions. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Everything was unique and fresh. I ordered the house salad. Very fresh and tasty. The salad could serve 4 people! My friend ordered the spring chicken sandwich with onion straws. Stating the sandwich was the best she ever had! My mom and sister ordered the Folsom chicken sandwich with onion straws and fries. Everything was mouth watering they said! Packed with flavor! The strawberry rhubarb pie and carrot cake were so delicious! I don’t even eat that pie annd I enjoyed it. BCP snacks were out of this world! Moe excellent service! Great waiter who was genuine and fun! Thank you!😊
