Nino E. • November 9, 2014Crab Benedict and Bloody Mary's are excellent at this quirky little ex-brothel. Never too long of a wait, can get a little cramped inside but there's ample outdoor seating.

Brian S. • January 3, 2022A curated list of burger & chicken sandwich nostalgia. The menu is a tour de force. Have fun guessing which American classic inspired which sandwich. I enjoyed this place on an emotional level.
