Vibrant setting on 19th street with well spaced tables and dividers in a garden like street side setting. What a find. went this Sunday for brunch and already booked a table again for next Sunday. Food was outstanding and one of the more interesting cocktail menus around. Service could not have been better. Cant wait to try it out for dinner. 10 out of 10

The place was very busy, and even though we had a reservation and we were one minute late, they had trouble seating us. We waited about 20-25 minutes but the food was amazing and definitely worth it. It is also worth considering that it is very busy.

The food was satisfying. However, when my party was seated by the hosts she told us "we need the table back by 7:15". We felt as if we had to rush to eat and it was rude. Our server was not helpful also gave us the impression he did not want to help us.
