    A neighborhood gem tucked away in downtown Bridgeport offering creative and modern Southern fare. Small and large plate options. Great for date night. Parking is close by.

    Absolutely exquisite from seating, to service, to dining. Chef even came out to say hello. I highly recommend. We started w the roasted beets, and the asparagus dish. We both had the saffron risotto w Seared Sea Scallops and it’s was extremely flavorful and a perfect portion.

    Amazing food and service. The Steak was to die for and the chicken was one of the best I have ever had. We'll be back as soon as we can get a reservation. Place was packed all night. Turning them away at the door at 9:30pm. Exceptional.

    Outstanding food. Great service. Wonderful atmosphere. Just a little loud because it’s a pretty small space. Went for dinner before a show at the Stress Factory. Will be back.

    Food and drink were top notch…. A hidden gem! While it was a bit loud for our preference, it was an energetic vibe… We will definitely be back!
