Such a great, neighborhood trendy restaurant and bar!
Cocktails are always fantastic (although slightly experimental in my opinion) and while the food comes second, it’s still amazing. The grilled cheese and soup is a go-to for a reason, definitely worth ordering it! The Brussels sprouts are also always on our table.
We’ve walked in more times than made a reservation and I’d recommend that you make one just in case. That said, the longest we’ve had to wait was about 15min during dinner rush for 4.
2-3 cocktails + light food is around $40-60 a person, pretty typical for the area!

I’ve been a regular here for the past year or so, and this place is fantastic. Last Valentine’s Day, they accommodated my wife and me even though we had no reservation (other plans fell through) and quite literally made our evening. The food is always good, the atmosphere is unique, and staff is friendly. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a unique dinner experience.
Went here for valentine’s day dinner. The food was delicious!!!!! We ordered off their pre-fixed menu and then ordered a mushroom starter (i can’t remember the name but it was SOOOOO good). The wait staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond.
The short rib was incredibly tender and cooked amazingly, the chicken fell off the bone, the wagyu tartar was the star of the night though. The flavor was absolutely incredible i would love to come back here.
The hostess noticed when she seated us that our table was wobbly and my partner and without saying anything to us she came back and asked if she could fix it- we weren’t bothered by the rocking but it definitely made our experience better and we appreciated it! Our waiter boxed our leftovers up too and was just incredibly kind and attentive. Truly a 5/5 experience.

I dined here recently for the first time with a group of friends to celebrated a birthday. I only have positive things to say about this establishment. The staff was attentive, fun and very professional (Cole was excellent!). My friends had the oysters for an appetizers and were raving about how delicious they were! I ordered the steak frites for my dinner and it was heavenly! I had a cake set aside to surprise the birthday girl and the staff was able to keep it all a secret until it was time to bring it out for dessert 🎂
Thank you so much for a memorable first time here! I will definitely be back

If you’re going to charge an exorbitant amount of money for a soup and grilled cheese, esp with all the extra charges on delivery apps, it would be great if you actually packaged it properly. This is the second time this has happened and it’s totally ridiculous.
The food here is amazing. You can tell a lot of thought and consideration went into their menu, and the quality of the dishes are outstanding for the price. Cocktails are extremely inventive, strong, and beautifully presented. I've visited twice - including for NYE - and have always felt like a valued customer even when the place is full. Highly recommend for a nice date / celebratory dinner spot.
Delicious restaurant with great, creative drinks and SUPER nice staff who seem actually happy to serve you. They have incredible brunch. Pork belly Benedict was original and delicious. The pork belly was crispy and not greasy at all. Eggs in purgatory had great flavor. I think this going to become my go-to place in Davis 😊
Came for dinner before a concert and had a great experience! We ordered the burrata and a steak to split. Burrata was thoughtfully presented and the figs and pomegranate were nicely paired with arugula. The steak with chimichurri was cooked well and extremely flavorful. Service was great too!
