Great food, great service, awesome staff. A nice little hideaway in the middle of the Capitol! They also have great vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options!

Really cool vibe. Very attentive staff. Food was good and drink selection is great. Place was really busy just before a couple of local Saturday night events. Reservation is a must!
