WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING

  • "Our server went above and beyond to accommodate our youngest son's food allergies. I felt comfortable and relaxed knowing that everything he was eating had been thoroughly vetted and was safe."

  • "Food was amazing! Burrata app with a bottle of white...chef's kiss."

  • "...has the look and feel of a big-city restaurant with food that could compete with high-end, citified places...makes this a night-out-on-the-town kind of joint. " - Greater Than a Tourist- Champaign-Urbana : 50 Travel Tips from a Local by Sal Nudo

  • "This is the best restaurant ever. 10/10. Drinks are really cool and the food is always interesting. Plus you get popcorn."

  • "The food was excellent. Emma was a GREAT waitress. The Carrot Cake was just a tad small. LOL !! Sarcasm !! I had the rest of it for breakfast the next morning. Veggies are good for breakfast."

  • "Love this place...were pleasantly surprised with the spacious patio & menu selections. Madi was so thoughtful and kind after I shared my allergies with her. She was attentive and so sweet throughout the whole evening to ensure we were having a good time. "
