Once I saw they had a mocktail selection, I was sold. We ordered a couple of mocktails - the Last Call and Milly's Home. For food, we ordered the cauliflower and cornbread to start. Both the mocktails were great and I can't think of a better corn bread that I've had. The lemon pepper cauliflower was also delightful. For entrees, we ordered the short rib and the quinoa Summit Bowl with chicken - both great. I would definitely recommend this spot. It wasn't busy on a Wednesday, the food was great, the service was on point and there are plenty more items on the menu that I want to try when I surely return.

The ‘bowls’ are barely a side salad. Very tasty but very very small with a pathetic amount of food on the plate (not even in a bowl!). Four of us had bowls and we needed up going out for a bite later in the night. If you go, order one of the burgers for sure

Surprisingly fine cuisine at very reasonable prices. The space is relaxed and casual, and the varied menu suggests "comfort food" but the dishes are conceived thoughtfully and prepared carefully, even elegantly. How do they make their "skillet cornbread' so rich & savory? Service was great, very efficient & attentive The cocktails are imaginative and artistic creations, and there's a well-curated list of wines & beers. Happy Hour is truly a bargain. It's hard to understand why there's ever an empty table in the house.

                                                                                                                      Is this helpful?

Portions were small and not that flavorful. It had a sort of lunch place vibe instead of dinner. Cocktail was ok and the wine pour was small. Wanted to like it.

At the end of the day there’s just better bang for your buck than this but i do see myself dining here again.
