    We had 2 tables of eight and we were all taken care of promptly. I wish the tables were next to each other, but that’s the setup. The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone was happy with their choices. The staff was super friendly and attentive and well informed about the food choices. It was an all around good time and we’ll be back again for the Dead brunch!

    Great place to party or Happy Hour, or to splurge on not so healthy for you foods (tasty but high fat etc.) Kids (20 and under) likely would love the menu... not so friendly for healthy eaters. Friendly staff that went out of their way to accommodate!

    First, we loved the vibe of this restaurant just off the campus of Buffalo State University. It’s nestled right on a street between residences and other shops/restaurants in houses. First-What a neighborhood gem! The vibe of this place is fun and funky-LOVE the wallpaper in the women’s bathroom! The staff was very attentive, but not smothering. The food was wonderful. I had the ahi tuna wrap with siracha aioli on wheat lavash along with the roasted Brussels sprouts on the side. The sandwich had just enough spice and the sprouts were charred not burnt and kind of tangy. They were so good. My husband had the Philly steak sandwich with fries. The sandwich was excellent (in fact he ate some before I could get a picture). The fries were good-he prefers them a little crisper, but they were seasoned well and hot. I definitely recommend dining here if you’re in the area.

    Fantastic menu, awesome location, great menu, and delicious food and drinks. My only concern was pretty minor but they put us at a high top that was super narrow so it was a little tight. It was also really close to the bar near some folks that were kinda noisy. The bar was a little loud but mostly because of the live music which was cool.

    Very nice place to eat. The waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and made our dinner time very pleasant. The food was disappointing though. The Brussel Sprout appetizer was undercooked and the burger ordered was served incorrectly.
