The food was excellent. Highly recommend the hot dog burnt ends, and the chicken thighs. Cocktail list was great, and the doughnut bread pudding was top notch. Back patio area is really nice, easy to talk.

The place is very small but you don’t feel crowded. The food and service is very good. If you’re heading to Fremont St. and want a great place to eat, I recommend this place.

The smash burger was hot af. Wayyyyyy overcooked and really not an acceptable representation of the smash burger trend. No crispy edge. Just an overly hot well done flat piece of burger. It said it came with jalapeño and bacon. No sign of either. Even if so, the burger was too hot. Microwaved? Crazy. The mac’ncheese was decent at one point in time. I would say too peppery and not great. The Caesar was good. Too peppery tho. The food was just not up to par for this part of town. The service was nice. So overall sorts meh!

I pitty anyone who has been here more than once as there are too many favorites that we like. As usual we ordered too much food, but we ate it all except for the last couple of bites of the Brownie with the Bourbon ice cream, it was just too much.

Decided to eat here after visiting the MOB museum based on other good reviews. Really glad we did, being October the weather was perfect to eat outside at 8 pm, cool patio area with some neat art murals on the wall. Service was excellent and quick. Interesting cocktail menu and some good local beers. The food us sharable/ tapas style and portions were bigger than we expected. Deviled eggs are REALLY good as was the beet salad. The take on carbonara was very good and highly recommend, the short rib unfortunately was way too salty like they had seasoned it twice by mistake, otherwise it was cooked perfectly. Very reasonably priced for the quality and it made for a nice change while in Vegas not to be eating in one of the strip hotels. Id say definitely check this place out if you’re in the old town/ Freemont district and make sure to have a reservation as it was busy.

Amazing food, great service. Every item we ordered was perfection. We had the fried chicken skin which was great and the smoked honey dip turned it up another level! The oxtail risotto was the best risotto we’ve ever had. The cocoa steak was so unique. The glazed donut bread pudding was insane! We wanted to order another one but we were stuffed. Highly recommend trying this place. We will definitely be back !
