From the moment I sat down, Daniel behind the bar set the tone — warm, attentive, and mixing cocktails that could hold their own anywhere in the South Bay. The food? Outstanding. Fresh, flavorful, and exactly the kind of plates you want when you’re settling in for a late lunch or easing into happy hour.
Speaking of happy hour… 3–6 PM and absolutely worth the detour. Great pricing, generous pours, and that relaxed, grown-up vibe I look for when I’m out exploring the South Bay.
Parking was way easier than I expected — there’s street parking AND a nearby lot that’s literally a two-second walk. No drama, no stress.
If you’re anywhere in the South Bay, check this place out. As long as I’m still on the mainland (and that’s probably only until the end of February 2026 ✈️ ), I’ll be back for happy hour again and again.
SipWatchTravel approved.
Our party ordered the meatloaf stack, the sea bass plate, and tri tip sandwich. The food came out quickly.
The plates were full. The meatloaf was on the drier side. But, when mixed with the mashed potatoes and the sauce it was better. The sea bass was tasty and the mashed potatoes were very good. The arugula salad was under whelming and probably should have been replaced with some veggies.
The atmosphere was quite loud. It was very hard to carry on a conversation across the table with our guests.
Would we go back…yes. Would I like to try some other dishes…yes
Tonight we went for a couple cocktails, a Lavender Honeycomb and an “Elder” Old Fashioned, and man, I was disappointed. Both of these cocktails were straight sugar.
The Lavender Honeycomb tasted of lemonade, vodka, and simple syrup, nothing more. I think they completely missed the mark. No gin flavor to be found.
The Old Fashioned: whiskey, orange juice, slight elderberry, and simple syrup. I get taking a different approach to a classic cocktail but it just didn’t hit for me. I had lots of orange pulp in my drink, which seems a bit sloppy, and bitters were nowhere to be found.
