Best artichoke I've ever had- amazing flavor and the sun dried tomato aioli and marinade was icing in the cake . Also loved their version of potato skins as well as the candied swine jolly rancheros !

Karen Cooper

The deviled eggs - wow!!! Artichoke was great too, loved the grilled shrimp and penne . Margarita was a little too sour for my liking (and I never say that). Cool art , good food, great service!

Alex Alessandro

If you like artichokes this is my favorite one that I have ever had. Always good. Also don't miss the olalaberry pie and ice cream sandwich .

Alana Washington

Try the Blood Orange Rita and the Monterey Bay Calamari . Also, you can't go wrong with $3 and $5 apps and drinks during M-F 4-7pm Happy Hour !
