    We were very unimpressed with the food. The kabob was very dry, the cauliflower was over spiced, the food was not inspired. The Lavender G&T was good, but overall it was a very disappointing experience. We will not be back.

    The perfect meal for two: classic hummus, Brussels sprouts, green falafel & braised beef short rib.

    Absolutely divine meal from beginning to end. Short rib hummus, crispy potatoes, pork belly, and the salmon kebobs made for a delicious meal. And our server, Morgan, was a dream! We will ask for her next time we come in!
