Good beer, impressive local selection and really exciting food. The steak frites (small plate) is great and not a small plate, the shrimp arepa has interesting (sweet) flavors and the berry cobbler fruit dessert is out of this world...the cinnamon ice cream is well-worth the price of admission. They also feature apple pie from Pie Snob, which is a major plus.
The side of gnochhi is a steal at $5.
The $10 brunch deal (brunch and a beer/mimosa for $10) is a neighborhood favorite.
