    We went there for my friend’s birthday and in reading the menu it didn’t sound very exciting but we ordered several things and everything was delicious. I would highly recommend this place. There is also a really cute outdoor area that would be great for a private party or a work function. I will definitely go there again.

    We have been here for dinner several times, and today (New Year's Day) went for late lunch. Most of our favorites were available. We absolutely love the wood-fired artichokes - they're smoky and tender and come with a very tasty aioli. My husband doesn't like aioli, but they're buttery and tender enough he just eats them plain. He raved about his French Dip, and I had the soup (Crab and Corn), which was hot and brimming with crab, and a side of Loaded Smashed Potatoes (half to go home with). So good! We are big fans of the Tres Leches cake, so we got two portion to go and will have them this evening. Something to look forward to in the new year! Note: My husband's last name is Collins (no relation) so we are especially happy we enjoy The Collins so much. Must try Collins Brothers too some day.
