Grilled salmon and pork belly sliders are da bomb! Music selection is awesome! We were dancing in our seats between plates!

Great happy hour and small plates . Got a huge portion of wings during the happy hour special

Chicken and waffles are a revelation. Chinese 5-spice wings hacks nice kick with a subtle garlic taste.

Left is last night, right is May. Pork was ice cold, not shredded, no sauce, no coleslaw , burned buns . ???? We had to go back to get a refund bc they charged us even tho we sent it back. Sad to see.
