sara mae pickle: food & drinks were fresh & delicious. definitely recommend stopping here for an easy lunch or dinner option while visiting balboa.
Deborah Craig: It's a great casual place to go. They have a full bar and some good craft cocktails. You can even take your food and drinks out to the grass and sit on a blanket.
Jo Packer: Really nice little place in the middle of Balboa park. Great alfresco dining. Good service. I had the fish tacos though and really didn't enjoy them.

Scott Pigman: Fantastic craft beer selection, friendly staff and terrific food to go with a groovy vibe.
MattersOfGrey.com: They have an extensive amount of beers on tap and bottle. If you are undecided, it's hard to go wrong with the unibroue beers. Try the Fin Du Monde.

Meaghan Kenny: The spicy chicken sandwich with garlic fries were out of this world! And the dipping sauces were spectacular
Eater: The burgers at this East Village spot are as good as the craft beer that's served with it (yes, even without ketchup). It's bar food done better: steak tartar and deviled eggs with artichoke mousse.

Elena Auciello: Open faced grilled cheese and tater tots were yummy! The tomato soup tasted like marinara sauce...
Marina: Do notttt be tempted by the grilled cheese! It will beyond disappoint with its siren song. Basic cut up focaccia not grilled with warmed sprinkled Cheese is NOT grilled cheese. Get it together.
Marina: WOW! $9 for Kombucha beer and WHYYYYY is everyone so miserable that works here? Is it because everyone is ripped off so the tips are bad so they are perpetually giving up? Yes.

Jake Smith: Margarita is only ok. But get the tequila old fashioned and god help you.
