Solid. My husband chose The Turk and I went with the Staff Burger. Delicious 100%. Fries were cooked perfectly - didn't even need ketchup. Service was excellent as well. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic food!! Loved their pasta and poke - and from looking around, I'm sure their other items are just as tasty. Went for my birthday and the staff were super friendly! They also have brunch on Sundays which would make a nice small group outing. Brunch menu might be a bit pricier than I would like but the lunch/dinner menus are worth it.
The food was phenomenal! My husband and I went and got the chef burger, and their creation was absolutely delicious. The foods felt like high quality, and our waitress was on top of it. She was genuinely so nice and made sure that our water glasses were never empty. We will definitely be back for another date night down the road to try some more items on the menu.
The staff here is amazing, we came in for a late lunch and sat wherever we wanted. We ordered the coconut shrimp skewers, market salad, crab cakes, and local burger with their fries. Everything was phenomenal, especially those coconut shrimp skewers. I woke up the next day thinking about them. Their fries are also worth ordered as an entire side, in my opinion.
Food is always great. Love the cozy ambiance. When I come in to town, it's always at the top of my list of places to eat.
