Emilie Futterman: Casual setting, yummy food, great atmosphere. Steak frites and beer for $25 incl tip. Delicious.

Justin Hunter: Good chill vibe, decently priced beers, and good food. Very small, but if there's a spot, take it!
Leanne Z: These are my two favorite foods- beer, cheese. Everything I've eaten here is perfect but small portions. Awkwardly narrow passage next to the bar to get to the back. Very cozy and casual.
Arthur Danskin: Amazingly good food, excellent beer selection, great atmosphere. Friendly chill bartenders.

Patrick Ebobisse: Stumbled upon this place while roaming around Chinatown. Cozy, neighborhood vibes. Dank Sicilian pizza. Worth checking out for a casual slice.
Julian Verdeguer: Negative tips are totally being made up for this spot. Pizza here is fantastic. Couple that with great beer and wine selections, a laid back staff, and some on point interior design.
Kelsey✨: Laid back pizza joint, good for a quick grab-n-go slice. Open late
