"Our waiter nice guy attentive and fast our food was really good medium mushroom burger avicado toast some calamari and poke appetizers. Well be coming back"

"First visit, I had the “special” (see photo) smash burger. Really good deal, only $6, instead of the normal price of $17.25.
Outdoor seating on the street side, was nice, friendly server did a very good job.
Irish Nachos was good, served on a hot plate.
Double patty “smash” burger was good, my only complaint was it really wasn’t a smash burger, because it didn’t have the normally tasty crispy edges.
Plate served hot, good fries with very good ranch style dip.
The best parking is a paid lot to the rear of the restaurant. But the walk to the restaurant is difficult, especially for a mobility challenged person, due to the steepness of the alleyway.
Recommended, we will be back."

"Went for brunch on a Friday. No wait. Very friendly staff. Got a Bloody Mary (good) & Irish Coffee (ok). I ordered the Dublin Benedict, corned beef instead of Canadian bacon. It was very good. The side of potatoes were undercooked a bit.
I'm sure at night with all the live music and people this place is an entirely different story."
