    A spiritus gastro pub w inovative twists on classic whiskey cocktails as well as a handful of their own luminous creations. Excellent selection of American, Scottish, Irish and Japanese whiskeys.

    Bacon makes everything better, we all know this. So you obviously must order the wood-oven-roasted, bacon-wrapped trout (w/ leeks, fennel, almonds, arugula, lemon-caper brown butter). Read more

    The burata is super yummy if you're a fan of soft cheeses. Also the asparagus with bacon and egg is great. Seasonal favorite for summer is the watermelon salad

    Like the ambiance, great place to meet friends for dinner. Simple, not overwhelming selections of food. Lounge is a plus while waiting for your seat.

    Relaxing, non-insane brunch option. Usually no wait, low-key, tasty. Nothing earth-shattering on the menu, but a delightful experience.

    Went for the cocktails but were blown away by the food. Simple but creative with fresh ingredients…or so it tasted.
