I discovered this restaurant from Instagram. An influencer recommended as a hot new spot in MD. From the moment you walk in the door, I appreciated the vibe, the design of the restaurant, and the welcoming staff. I ordered an omelet w/ seafood - delicious (9/10). Our dining host (Telfie) was so nice! 😊 We had an opportunity to chat with him about the restaurant and some of the top dishes chosen by other customers. He was wonderful (10/10). I will definitely be back in to try out other items on the menu and maybe a drink :)

My experience was great. The serves were kind. The jerk chicken lollipops and Caesar Salad were my favorite. The croutons in the salad melted in my mouth.I enjoyed the Snow Crab Asian Garlic noodles. I wish it had more crab meat and that was it a bit more spicier. I had a mango mocktail , it was sooo good! I wanted to take it home.

Went on a slow, cold Sunday afternoon so it wasn’t not busy at all. For some reason, though, our server was difficult to find throughout our meal. Food/drinks were really good, & they had fun holiday themed drink decorations. Definitely bundle up though if you’re seated on the patio.

A limited but delicious menu. Full bar. Pleasant inside and outside. But, in the evening, you're going for the music, and it was great July 30--Gabe Koempel and combo.
