We love this place- a nice hidden gem in downtown WC. We love sitting at the bar and Lucas is great- very knowledgeable and an experienced bartender. They had a three course prefix for Valentines Day which was a little pricey but delicious nonetheless. We just wish they still offered their delicious homemade bread during the prefix. One of our favorite date night locations- we’ll be back!

I wonder why we don’t eat here more often. The menu is inventive and hard to choose from, the cocktails delicious and generous, the service was perfect. We had a great time and will be back soon.

Booked for Valentine's Day and they said they couldn't find my reservation. They were not super busy at that moment but they did seat me very quickly and were very happy with the service and food. If you plan to reserve, maybe don't do it on one of the busiest days of the year, they may lose your reservation like they lost mine.

The service was exceptional and we really enjoyed our cocktails along with the pizza and appetizers. The only problem was seating. We reserved a patio table in advance but when we arrived, our table was not available and they shoehorned us into 2 seats at the very crowded bar.
