Awesome spot with a diverse menu located close to the freeway featuring wonderful cocktails and faire. The Duck Mole was a wonder old dish, and the Miso Black Cod was a light and delicious dish. The Blue Crab Beignets did not disappoint. The cute Tavern...Read More

Pricey but we'll worth the experience, great food, and tasty drinks. The fresh scones they give for free are warm delicious.

Great place! Cocktails were unique and amazing, the french onion soup was the best I've had, the service was attentive and helpful, the only minor disappointment was the burger a little under seasoned and over cooked.

Absolutely awesome dinner! The food was excellent. Everything was packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. Martha and her serving assistant (sorry we didn't catch her name) were attentive, welcoming and professional. Can't wait to come back!
