We live on the Northside, and within walking distance, and I am SO HAPPY to have this restaurant nearby. Definitely an upgrade in food and beverage quality while still being a come-as-you-are, neighborhood place.
I've visited several times and always had great service. I recognize many staff members from one visit to the next, so they seem to be doing a good job of retaining staff.
The space is tastefully decorated and I love the garage doors that open to the patio. I honestly don't notice the traffic on Sherman unless it's a loud truck or motorcycle.
Now for the food and drink:
- excellent beer list with "Mendota Coast" to satisfy local taste as well as great offerings from other great breweries across the country
- I personally appreciate the local cider, Restoration, when they have it
- great cocktails, including daily special and extensive bar spirits available
- we've enjoyed the food a lot: excellent salads and sandwiches; GREAT nachos; daily soups have been really good and made with creative inspiration
Really hope they keep the momentum, as we plan to hang out here a lot!
