Reviews
I ordered the Seneca burger (a smash burger), and added bacon. It was good, but $12 for a smash burger feels a bit steep. Good… but not $12 good. I also got the sweet potato fries, which were delicious and crispy. It came with a horseradish(?) dipping sauce that worked surprisingly well.
They also had some interesting cocktail options. I’d come back for brunch or an early dinner to try more from the menu.
I ordered a black bean burger and sweet potato fries. I’m lactose intolerant, so when I asked about the ingredients a few minutes later, I learned the burger had dairy. I told her I couldn’t have it and would just keep the fries.
Despite knowing this, she still asked if I wanted the burger anyway because it was already being made. That alone showed a shocking lack of concern for my health.
Then she proceeded to shout at me from behind the bar, loudly enough for everyone to hear, saying things like “It’s your responsibility to check the cheese,” and interrupting me each time I tried to speak. When I attempted to clarify, she cut me off and said, “I’m not doing you any favor.”
I left embarrassed and upset. If a manager treats customers with dietary needs this way — dismissively, loudly, and without empathy — that’s a huge red flag. I won’t be returning.
Also dog friendly, has outdoor seating and nice staff. Good decor and good vibes. Definitely recommend for a late bite or just a nice chill time with friends if you’re in the area.
