I almost never write restaurant reviews, but we met a waiter there who had to be recognized publicly. Jordan was his name and he... was phenomenal. He catered, He was prompt, smart, caring, and knowledgable about the food. And he just had this friendlydemeanor about him that made us all happy.

Lovely ambiance, great drinks and awesome staff!! They have late-night happy hour from 9-11 some nights. Do yourself a favor and... stop by to grab a few. I brought my date and had a lovely time. You're in luck if Chris or Ron are working that night. Read more

(Last visited 11/21/2021.) If you know me or my fiancée you know how we feel about brunch and even more about bottomless... mimosas, but this place doesn't quite offer that... something else though... read on. Here's how itwent! Atmosphere/Appearance: First and foremost, I highly recommend that you make reservations in advance. We got lucky today.Set right downtown New Haven near Yale is this gem. Good luck with your own parking since this place doesn't have a private lot,but there are plenty of spaces on the street or structures around. It's a cozy and quaint place that can't hold a lot of people.It's almost always packed in here and the energy is through the roof. I loved it. The left side of the restaurant is the barsection with a half-wall separating it from the other side, which holds all the tables. The giant exposed ventilation that runsfrom the ceiling right to the floor is a super cool, modern-rustic touch. Service: Chris took excellent care of us both timesthat we've visited this place. He's quick with getting things we asked for, friendly, fun and ridiculously helpful. Food: So wemust discuss what you probably searched to find this review... This place does NOT offer bottomless mimosas, however, if you buya pitcher of mimosa, you can buy refills for $1.00/piece. How many you're allowed to buy is up to the restaurant. The first timewe came, we were allowed to buy multiples, but the 2nd time we were only allow to buy one additional, so take that with a grainof salt. For my entrée I went with their Barracuda Nachos! These consist of yuca fritas topped with blackened chicken, pepperjack cheese, tomato & scallions served with sour cream, salsa and guacamole. You can add other proteins for additional costs.They were SO FREAKING GOOD and just different compared to traditional nachos elsewhere. I loved them. Value: A pitcher ofmimosa is $20.00 and the refill is only $1.00. See the value there?! Lol. My nachos were $12.00 and it was an additional $2 Read more
