| - Super fun place in Griffentown. Trendy decor and upscale comfort food on the menu. Have been twice now as part of a big group and had the group tasting menu both times. It's good value and you get to try a lot of the things on the menu. You will definitely not leave hungry if you take this option. The appetizers included a fancy version of a pogo, Mac and cheese balls, and oysters. The apps were just ok for me, a bit bland. Next to come out were several different salads which were all amazing. There was a kale salad, Brussel sprouts, and a beet salad. I could have finished all of them off and called it a night there. But then the tower of fried chicken arrives, with biscuits and pickles and various sauces. I'm not a fried chicken fan in general, but damn these are good. The sauces were kind of underwhelming but honestly the chicken is so good, don't even bother.
Decent cocktail menu and wine selection. Service is friendly and attentive. The manager passed by our table more than once to make sure we were happy.
One important point - this place is LOUD. Both times we where there on a weekend around 8-10, it might be quieter on weekdays, I don't know. There's a DJ in the room playing some seriously kick ass tunes. It's a super fun lively vibe, but you will have to yell at the person sitting next to you to have a conversation. Not necessarily a bad thing, but this ain't the place for an intimate quiet evening, that's all.
In summary, skip the apps, go for the salads and the chicken, put on your party shoes and have a great time!
