    Dinner menu is served downstairs. So i got the burger w/ upgraded ranch fries. I have enjoyed my juicy burger!!! the egg compliments the beef patty as it melts in my mouth. It's simple yet tasty.😋

    Had Sunday brunch. Get the side order of biscuits and sausage gravy (it's just 1 biscuit) but enough to share. Meat lover's Skillet breakfast and lobster roll.

    Great rooftop! When the sun comes out it is perfect. Saturday they play music and from 4pm happy hour starts

    Got 4 drinks and 4 appetizers for under 60 bucks before tip as a group of 4 and we were all full. Fries and deviled eggs were great

    Great food. Rooftop bar is a great place for drinks if the weather is nice (so basically all the time).

    Head upstairs. Get a seat at the bar and order up an Arctic Mule. Copper cups keeps it icy cold.

    The balcony is great. But the selection is apparently very limited. If it's on the menu, it might not actually be available.

    Marinated salmon with chips is a good alternative for ceviche lovers

    Bad cocktails. I asked for a rye Old Fashioned. Got a $13 glass of ice, orange flavor, and watered-down Templeton. My friends got menu cocktails—one was almost pure vodka, the rest were sugar bombs

    This place is somewhere you want to stay away from. They allowed someone to call me a n*** three times loudly and kicked me out when I went to security
