All these 1-2 star reviews make me sad. I really liked this place.
Came here for a celebratory lunch with my girls after our last day of nursing school around 1PM on a Tuesday afternoon. The maitre d' outside pointed us in the proper direction for parking as you can park either on the street, in a parking garage, or in the open lot across the street. He was super friendly and quite hilarious. Definitely the most informal maitre d' I've ever met, but still great.
There were a few other lunch parties but the restaurant wasn't busy. We opted to sit outside as it was gorgeous out. The restaurant is quaintly decorated and you definitely know you're in the Arts District. The bathroom is shared with the Art Factory, but I don't mind since you get a glimpse of some of the artwork along the way.
I ordered the pig pork cow burger and house fries. The burger was massive and had a kobe waygu patty, chorizo and pancetta. I was in meat heaven. Everything on the burger was absolutely delicious and even the burger patty was perfectly seasoned. I love that the fries come out with ketchup and mayo, so you don't even have to ask!
I also got the iced tea which is a berry blend they brew fresh everyday and serve in a huge honking cup. Another thing I thought was cute was that the water glasses were the bottom 1/2 of wine bottles; I loved it!
Service was unremarkable but timely. The manager checked in on us a few times to make sure we were doing okay, which was greatly appreciated.
Overall, I'll be back. Maybe next time for dinner or to try out the bar!
