    Fantastic brunch! Great menu options and plenty of variety-- can't go wrong with eggs benedict! Can be a little pricey, but the juices and iced coffees that come with meals make it worthwhile.

    Oyster bar with a big menu of bar snacks and share plates. There are some nice beers on draught, the cocktails are decent for the neighborhood, and some bar bites, like spinach fritters, shine.

    The food is outstanding. Generous tapas portions, reasonably priced, and cocktails are delicious. Shady Hour 7 days a week result in $5 house cocktails which you should enjoy.

    Brunch is fantastic & for dinner go chicken and grits or disco duck fries! Notoriously bad service (they've forgotten drink rounds and even whole meals before ) so come when you're not in a rush!

    Wow. This place has a great atmosphere and was very welcoming. Lobster tacos were very tasty and the pork wellington was probably the best pork dish I've ever had. We had a great dinner here!

    Great happy hour deals--sangrias are cheap and delicious. You must try the truffle and mushroom mac and cheese. The falafel is also a good choice.

    One of the best double happy hours in the area. Dunno the hours, but they have one during normal hours and a late night deal. Great food.

    Brunch here is absolutely amazing. $20 all you can drink from 11-4 on Sunday. Totally worth it. The food is phenomenal and the staff are great!

    Try their signature house cocktail named after the restaurant. The sauce for the chicken biscuit could be sweet to set it apart.

    Chicken and waffles were pretty much waffles with deep fried bread crumb and chicken skin. Pastrami quesadilla was super oily. Maybe drinks would've been good, but I couldn't even get that far.

    Mac and cheese was awesome. Pulled pork biscuit sliders were great too! Happy hour is a great deal.

    A reliable option for outdoor brunch, with generous cocktails and a solid no-frills menu.

    Amending my earlier tip- overpriced brunch, reasonably priced dinner. If you want to get wasted and have a good brunch, go to Marketa.

    The lobster pot pie is delicious, but pricey for the small amount of lobster in it. The tomato soup is amazing!

    Bottomless brunch for $20. Delicious egg dishes and ok mimosas. Worth the price.

    Disappointing brunch. "Over easy" eggs were solid rubber, biscuit was hard, coffee weak. The chicken and waffles, however, were tender, crispy, not too sweet, very tasty.

    Carbonara Mac and Cheese is spectacular. It's ruined me for all other mac and cheese.

    The Carbonara mac n cheese was good. The jamaican jerk ribs are not even close to jamaican standards...lack seasoning and are not hot. Best to go here if you want a light bite. Portions are small.
