I’ve visited this restaurant several times at different times over the past couple years and each time the experience has been the same, fabulous! It is a favorite go to if you like sitting by a fire pit outdoors, super cozy, but inside is equally as lovely, I’ve done both with friends. You cannot go wrong ordering their hummus, the best ever, and pimento cheese as appetizers. Fresh, delicious and consistent. Their pizzas are brick over and equally tasty, you have several to choose from (they will accommodate you the best they can) and their burger I found delicious as well, I like pimentos and minus the bacon, which I don’t eat. Now for their drinks, highly recommend as well. They have their own specialty cocktails, I had their Charred Manhattan most recently, but their martinis are good as well. My friends enjoyed their drinks as well, even if Smashmouth IPA.. If you want to try a unique restaurant that’s not a chain, with a limited, but delicious menu, you’ll have a pleasant experience. You can also grab a seat at the bar and watch a game. Try it!

I ordered a grilled chicken club sandwich and it was very good. I had sweet potatoe waffle fries with it and they were also yummy. The double smash burger my son had was good. The portions were enough and the service was good.

I really enjoyed the food and you can’t beat the buy one get one half off appetizers. But our waiter is really what made it! Matthew was absolutely amazing. Best server ever! We will forever sit in his section.

Ordered the tomahawk steak with a side of coleslaw and salad along with a bourbon flight. The steak was probably the single best steak I have had to date. Expertly aged and seasoned; the accompanying chimichurri was fantastic. Extremely generous portions for the sides as well. The side salad would be considered an entree at other establishments. They have an extensive bourbon menu which includes several limited availability selections. If you want a sample of many hard-to-find bourbons in VA, then that is the way to go. The service and atmosphere are top-notch. Wait staff are attentive without being intrusive and the outdoor seating is the best option during warmer weather. Overall, this is one of the best restaurants in the Richmond area and I heartily recommend it to anyone.

Had an amazing brunch today. Went there over a year ago and the food had improved since then. The staff was amazing and super welcoming. The waffles was so fluffy and light and the chicken could use some help. But the brunch pizza was just as good as I remember. Will be back!

The food here is always fresh and consistently good. I usually stick to my favorites—the crab dip and a salad—and they never disappoint! The crab dip is packed with flavor, and the salads are always fresh and crisp. I’ve also tried their burgers, and they’re really tasty! Every time I come in, I get Matthew as my server, and I’m not mad about it! He’s always so sweet and personable—he really adds to the whole experience. My favorite server here

Loved my salmon bites! Charred and cooked delicious! Salad was super fresh! Choc martini good- but should have added some choc syrup. Steak was great but undercooked in the center- it actually worked out because I took that home and ate it later. Excellent service. I'd return. The food tasted delicious!!
