Corey Harris: Old fashioned, lobster mac, meatballs
Sarah Mackey: Delicious! Especially the meatballs and the tuna tartare!
Jessie Catana: Everything was simply delicious! Octopus salad was spectacular. The short ribs...out of this world! The scallops were also incredible! The only thing they need is a better cocktail list!
Frederic Guarino: Go to Taralluci e Vino and sample their great wine list - excellent Riesling from Italy !
Alex Rainert: Your devices running out of juice and need a charge? Grab the two top in the back right and you'll find an outlet tucked away beside the bench. Closest seat to the loo but hey, more Snapchattin'!
Sarah Arnold: Brunch tip: if you prefer sweet over savory, the French toast is a must have. It's stuffed with goodness and melts in your mouth. Top it off by paying with Cover!
