Larger than exterior appearance. Very warmly greeted at the door. Waitress was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We started with bangers and the winter squash. Both wonderful. For dinner octopus and hanger steak. Neither could have been cooked more perfectly. Finished with coffee and German chocolate cake. The darker chocolate and toasted coconut top made it the best I ever had. Super enjoyable evening!

Great brunch place.
The service is very nice and helpful. I’ve been there a couple of times and never had an issue.
They have a good variety of dishes. And I love the fact they have coffeine free tea.
Great atmosphere, with peaceful design.

Wonderfully pleasant and competent FOH and bartending staff, but the kitchen seems to be having trouble. Our half dozen oysters took 30 min to get to the table on a quiet Wednesday night, which should probably not be a thing. When a table of 4 ordered entrees, my perch came 10 minutes before the other 3, and was cool on the edges even right when it got to the table. If I wasn’t paying $17 for some fish and Brussels sprouts it would have been ok. On top of that it was seriously oversalted, and the fried coating was sliding off easily (I imagine it was sitting waiting to go out and got soggy along the way) This could have easily been an amazing meal with some better trained/organized kitchen staff it seems

It was just okay. The chicken sandwich was dry but the bread was good. The potatoes were excellent. My husband’s steak was okay. Would not order that steak again really wanted something tender. The mixed salad was very flavorful. The service was very good.

For a quick post workday cocktail + dinner this is a great spot. Very fresh, artfully prepared entrees that lean to the farm-fresh side. Very clean eaters will love this spot. Great bar service. They know how to make every drink. My partner was underwhelmed with the fatty pork chop entrée.

Great food and cool environment. This place has a small but awesome menu. 5 of us went so we were able to try a good portion of the menu. Everything we had was very good. The food took a while to get to us, but it was a busy night and the kitchen staff seemed small. The great food was worth the wait time.

Great redesigned space…same great food and service. I really appreciate how kid-friendly this place is…they have a kids’ menu with several good options. When I walked in with my five year old for lunch today, the server and the host did not even blink. Nor were they cautiously friendly. Also, they were not overly-friendly to my son, as at some establishments. The staff acted totally NORMAL and we had a nice child- and adult-friendly lunch that we both enjoyed!

I had lunch there today and had the black bean soup and the brussel sprouts with some sort of magical chili sauce. Both were OUTSTANDING. The service was perfect. The ambiance wonderful. Will definitely be back and would love to try dinner.

Met my aunt for lunch today and we were both very happy with our experience. Food was delicious, I had the chicken sandwich and she had the burger. Their french fry potato chips are delicious. Staff was friendly and on point. We both said we will definitely comeback when in Evanston.

Fantastic food but some glitches in the service that need some work. There was a large crowd — maybe five parties — waiting at the hostess station at 7:30 for at least five minutes before anyone even acknowledged them on a recent Saturday night. More concerning, they apparently ran out of a dish we ordered (and the table next to us as well) and they substituted, without warning, something much less interesting and frankly, not good at all. When we asked, they took it off our order and comped a dessert. But still…

However, it’s worth the glitches to try the inventive and delicious food.
