Stopped in for drinks and sat at the bar—great experience! I absolutely loved the watermelon cocktails; they might just be my new favorite. The atmosphere is small but really nice, with a cozy and stylish vibe. It’s definitely my new go-to drink spot!

I’m only giving 2 stars because I feel like this place would’ve done so much better if they had another server working. I watched the table next to me complain about waiting an hour for their food and they got it for free. I’ve been Sitting here patiently hoping it would be better but no it’s now been an hour and only received my margarita. I had to approach the waiter twice to ask about placing my order the first time I was told that I had to wait 15mins to be able to place an order, it’s now been 30mins and I had to go ask again if they can put in order finally the guy said yes and apologized but the thing is I came in on my lunch break and can’t even enjoy my lunch because of I have to go back to work. Probably won’t be back but I’m glad I tried it just not happy with it and there was only 4 tables including me.

630 on. Friday night. Seat yourself. Live music started at 7. Plenty of spaces for our party of 2. We chose a table. There are booths and bar seating as well.
Smaller intimate space with low lighting. Hollywood art, big mirrors, fancy chandelier. Nice and clean. Seasonal outdoor seating available.
Lots of specialty cocktails- we had a blueberry mojito and a fig bees knees. Both delightful.
Menu selection is simple- which I personally loved. I get overwhelmed with too many choices! Some salads, sandwiches, small plates to share, etc.
We both chose the double stack burger. Delicious!! Plenty big, too. Fries and side salad pretty standard and good.
Bill was $27 each as we had the same priced items. Before tip.
Service was good. No complaints!

10/10. This place nailed it. Had the double smash burger upgraded the fries. The burger was everything you’d ever want from a burger. Way better than Zombie burger and for me a step above Lucilles. The atmosphere reminds me of a quiet cafe off of the French Quarter in New Orleans. Just a quiet laid back no hurry vibe. Will definitely be returning.

This place used to be great prior to Covid. We used to eat dinner and have drinks once a week. Last night visiting for the first time in years we learned quickly that things have changed. We sat for 10 minutes before getting a menu, no drink order was taken after the menu was dropped off, they were out of 2-3 consecutive items we considered ordering. Once we ordered, one of the three items showed up after 20 minutes which we then had our drink order put in. Then 20 more minutes later I had to walk up to the bar to ask about my food and it hadn’t even been started. We were there nearly 40 minutes already. We paid and left without eating more than an appetizer. The bartender was nice and asked the kitchen how long for the rest of the order and it still hadn’t been started.

Great small, intimate setting with a bar and a variety of seating. They have live jazz music every Saturday starting at 8pm. Food and drinks were phenomenal. There was a vast selection of signature cocktails which were great! All the food that we had was very fresh tasting. Their frites were tasty as well. If it’s cold outside, might want to bring something warmer because it does get chilly when the door is opened. Will definitely be back!

Brought friends, from out of town, here to have some apps and cocktails after doing some shopping in The East Village. Loved the atmosphere when we walked in.. found a table right away.. sat down and then watched another group walk in behind us and seat themselves.. the waitress immediately gave the other table waters and menus. We patiently waited until we watched the waitress take the other tables drink orders. I then walked up to the bar and asked for menus. I was handed a single one. The vibe was just odd. I will say that the cocktails and the food were delicious.. not sure if the waitstaff was just having an off night but made us feel very unwelcome.

Great food and some interesting options – try the pamme frites! Great cocktails as well with some rotational specialties. It’s always a good time here. Especially when they have live jazz playing.
