Kitjer: Fois GRAS with port jelly and crushed almonds - stellar! Sit at the counter and talk to chefs! Amazing innards and nice folks workin hard. Ps chocolate coconut cake = almond joy. Delicious.
David Morrissey: For brunch, went with the server's suggestion: fried chicken, biscuit and gravy, topped with a fried egg. Excellent!
