The restaurant is a very modern tavern that gives off a very social feel. Ambiance rate 6.5/10. My friends and I ordered... 1. Wild Mushroom Scramble: This dish was great! The toasted bread smeared with a truffle cream was delicious! However, the truffle flavor was faint, so I'd recommend asking for truffle aioli on the side which essentially elevated its overall taste. Rate 8/10. - Side of French Fries: These were okay since they could've been crispier. Rate 6/10. 2. Chocolate Babka French Toast: This was a nice sweet dish! However, it lacked berry compote, and the bread itself was soggy on the bottom which was upsetting. Rate 7/10. 3. Steak and Eggs: This dish was yummy! The eggs were perfectly runny, and the chimichurri was good! Unfortunately, the hanger steak was cooked almost well done rather than medium rare which was what I asked for. Rate 7/10. The staff were friendly and the service was moderately quick. Service/staff rate: 7/10. Overall, this casual establishment is a nice place to hangout and enjoy a nice Sunday brunch.

The inside dining area is more upscale than their more casual outdoor seating area. Upon arrival, the hostess wished me "happy birthday," but that was the only mention of it for the remainder of my visit. The menu includes raw bar items, hot shellfish appetizers, salads, bowls and wraps. However, their main feature is the "Naked Fish." This allows you to choose the type of fish, its preparation, and an accompanying sauce. I chose the branzino, grilled, and with salsa verde. The presentation was absolutely beautiful! The sear on the fish skin was perfectly crisp, the julienned vegetables were well-seasoned, and the sauce had a nice spiciness. Paired with a crisp white wine, it was a delicious dinner! The service was "adequate." The staff who brought bread and my meal to the table were friendlier and more attentive than my server. Perhaps she had too many tables to attend to, but she never asked me how my meal was, and only inquired if I wanted another glass of wine when I was ready for the check. Overall, I was very happy with my meal. However, I expected a little more attentiveness from my server, and perhaps an offer of something special for my birthday.

From the moment we walked in, the hospitality from the staff,and chef made us feel right at home. We started drinks with a Strawberry Cosmo and a Paloma Spritz. Both refreshing and dangerously strong in the best way possible. For apps we came for the Crispy Duck on Sushi Rice, and as someone who usually scared to eat duck, this completely changed my mind. The duck was unbelievably crispy, similar to crispy prosciutto, and paired perfectly with their special sauce. We also had to do the Crab Cake was another standout, especially with the house-made Green Goddess dressing. The chef even came out to explain how he prepares the sauce, which made the experience feel much more special. For the entrees, we ordered the Linguine Fra Diavolo, loaded with perfectly cooked shrimp and the perfect amount of spice, alongside the Steak & Chips finished with a truffle vinaigrette. Somehow, every single dish just kept getting better. And because we clearly hadn't eaten enough, we had to try the Bacon Mac & Cheese Balls with smoked tomato sauce. I honestly could've eaten an entire plate of those. To end our meal, the chef surprised us with his Duck Egg Brownie, and it was one of the softest, fudgiest brownies I've ever had. A 2 hour train ride sounds crazy... but Flinders Lane made it absolutely worth the trip. I can't wait to come back to try the kangaroo!

We had the private dining room because we were a party of 10. Very nice menu and an excellent wine list but on the pricey side. Started with crispy Calamari with a lemon caper tartar and a crispy artichoke with lemon aioli, Friese, peppers, and pecorino cheese. Both were very good. For mains. my wife ordered the scallops with mushrooms and asparagus risotto. She truly enjoyed it. I opted for the herb crusted lamb loin since I am a rack of lamb lover. It came with farro and sautéed spinach. Unfortunately I was disappointed. Others in the group raved about the pork chop. For dessert, we tried the chocolate mousse, chocolate ganache and chocolate cookie crumble. Much denser than a regular mouse, very good. Also the brown butter creme Brule. Almost as good as my mine which I got the recipe from a family friend Paul Bocuse.

It's a pretty venue with fun decor , but the room was uncomfortably cold for the rainy day. The server was very sweet and greeted us in a timely fashion. The drinks from the bar took a long time to arrive, which was odd since the place felt empty. They were good though. Cream was requested for our coffee's but it arrived after 15 minutes or so. We like coffee hot, so we drank it black. The server apologized and took our mugs for a refill. When cream was added, it curdled immediately. On closer inspection, the cream had the consistency of yogurt and was just as sour, so we never got a good cup of coffee. The breakfast tacos were bland. Very little chorizo, and the grilled onions and cheese were undetectable. No condiments (salsa, red sauce or sour cream) were offered. Thank goodness for the guacamole. It was the only thing that gave these tacos flavor. 2 of our party had the chicken and waffles. No seasoning in the batter on the chicken, and the waffle was served with about a tablespoon or two of syrup. No butter offered. We asked for more syrup, but it never came out, so only half of the waffle was eaten. The crispy Brussels sprouts were delicious. The calamari had ZERO flavor (not even salt) in the better, but were cooked well and the marinara was good. Friendly staff, good drinks, but lousy food in a cold, LOUD environment. We won't be back, nor will we recommend.
