"I discovered this restaurant on Foursquare and was craving grilled octopus. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of cocktails on the menu, which were expertly crafted with quality ingredients. The decor is charming, with the restaurant being an old diner that appeals to those who appreciate historic places. I was delighted to find an original cigarette machine on the wall in the restroom, adding to the nostalgic atmosphere. The food was excellent, especially the Thai chicken skewers and crab cakes. As a Maryland native, I am usually skeptical of seafood outside of my hometown, but I was very impressed by the flavors and texture of these dishes. The calamari I took home was also delicious. The customer service was top-notch, and I enjoyed engaging in conversation with the bartender. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I will definitely be returning in the future."

Stephen
The best restaurant for comfort food and Asian fusion food. Cheesesteak egg rolls and Korean fried chicken plus great salads especially the one with calamari in it. Also, best pancakes in the city for brunch.

great eier benedikt! steak and eier burger was in order not a place for burger a little dry and the asian birne and blood orange mimosas not to my taste, so I will stick to my regular mimosas, but overall great!

Friendly service and mediocre food and drinks. Salmon was cooked as the way I wanted and tasted good, however I didn’t really like the cucumber and yoghurt sauce. The Mac and cheese is was 6 out of 10. I loved the tuna tacos appetizer.
Cletus
The staff is friendly and approachable, seating can get crowded but still a great vibe and atmosphere inside. However, the center city location is more impressive by far! The food is definetly overpriced but try to get there for happy hour martinis! View menu

Opens late! That's a plus. But the food is so salty and greasy. Korean style chicken was so chewy and fatty. Peach virgin drink tasted like tap water. Price was not reasonable compare to the quality of food. Waitress was kind, but careless about basic things. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.
Amely
beautiful restaurant and bar! to be here is an experience, it is a very beautiful interieur. they are a cocktailable so they try a lot of delicious products, and they have in the rule one on special. eating is also great, although expensive and they don't get much for their money. they offer drinks and dine with friendly staff.

Great for brunch. Fast service. Comfortable, plush couch style seating. Weird but I saw a cigarette vending machine in the long hallway that connects the two sides of the restaurant. I definitely prefer the far side of the restaurant. It is usually less crowded and has a less diner like feel. I got the brussel sprout omelet. Sadly they use soybean oil in the home fries (and other menu options like most other restaurants) so I had to get a side of grits for an upcharge. The menu is moderately priced so it was not an issue. The food was good. View menu

really good location! service was quite good- staff was attentive and fast, although we close here about 45 minutes before. the lobster mac and the cheese (which is actually like risotto) is so crazy bomb. most lobster mac and cheese is exaggerated by cheese and they can hardly taste the lobster, but this? it is so fresh and delicate as they taste the lobster, the use of risotto (or whatever rice like pasta) is super light and simply delicious. the calamari was also quite good. not to bake or chew and I loved this marinara! I had a stout beer that was super fresh light. would recommend this place anyway
Demarco
I came a million times past this place and my friend has decided we should have some drinks. the outside looks almost like an old silver diner, but when they go inside, it is a very small modern restaurant. we ordered some salads and a few appetizers and eating was phenomenal. excellent service also! I forget the name of the young man who helped us, but he was very polite and answered all our questions about drinks and eating. the drinks we ordered were very strong, maybe it could just bang a bit, but unlike that was a big first visit here. they have a large selection of drinks and cocktails and a very random menu. it's a bit expensive, but it's worth it!
