    Poutine
    Ellie G.

    We had the brussel sprouts for an appetizer and poutine & flatbread for entrées. The brussel sprouts were very good but maybe could have used a little more citrus. The entrees were tasty. The service was very good. The ambience is cozy and it was very busy for Valentine's Day.

    We had a really nice dinner here a couple days before Christmas. It has a really cozy neighborhood feel and the waiter was super nice. They have a daily happy hour which was awesome, we got mussels and cocktail shrimp for a really good price. It is very family friendly, they were very kind to our toddler. The best thing we ate there among many good things was the apple galette dessert, it was amazing.

    Ribs

    Here's what you need to know: Outstanding service my Mike Donovan - just a great server who set the standard. Very tasty fried chicken sandwich and ribs. We celebrated our birthday here (very enjoyable galette for dessert) and really enjoyed ourselves and will be back for more, especially for Mike hospitality. While overall the pricing was fair for the area, The only reason why the review is not 5 stars is because of the pricing on the specials. They had a ribs special that was 4 ribs (about 35-40% of the whole rack) for $33 ($43 with tax and tip) which is just unjustified. These aren't kurobuta heritage ribs that I could tell and good smoking is not an extravagance these days with technology where it is. So seemed excessive for that. Ambiance is nice and quaint and we look forward to coming back to try the other offerings on the menu. Meal for 2 with coffee but no alcohol or apps was $100

    10 piece fried chicken

    I heard about this place before Covid hit and always wanted to give it a try, so tonight was the night! I pre-ordered the fried chicken and biscuits via their website. Today, Zach called me (super friendly guy) around 11 to confirm my order and my sides. I wanted to order more food from their regular menu, but ordering a 10 piece fried chicken, biscuits, mashed potatoes and roasted brussels sprouts was probably enough. I hate to admit this, but I ate half of the mashed potatoes because they were so good! I love potatoes and these hit the spot. The Brussels sprouts were good. Fried chicken was really good. I used to order fried chicken on Sundays from Hofherr in Northfield, but I think we just found our new place for fried chicken. Thanks! I can't wait to try the regular menu. Pick up was super easy. I just pulled up and they came right to my car. I didn't even have to call.

    Wedge salad

    Great! Stopped in because we were in the area late on a Saturday afternoon. Lucky for us it was Happy Hour and we were able to enjoy a great peach sangria and a mojito. We also ordered and loved the chips and onion dip from the HH menu. For our entrees we shared the brisket flatbread, which we enjoyed, and each got a salad. My Greek salad was bright and delicious - with generous dressing. My sister enjoyed the wedge with the maple balsamic dressing (rather than the ranch as described in the menu). Also important to note - the service! Our server was attentive and very nice. It was a lovely visit.

    My boyfriend and I came here for happy hour (which is everyday fyi) and it was so great! Everything was so good, and the mignonette for the oysters was *AMAZING*. The Elderflower Mule has a nice kick to it too Host and servers were so nice!

In the fall I had the pumpkin latte and I had to ask for more pumpkin because I couldnt taste it. Today I tried their new cookie butter latte and it doesn't taste like anything. How can the pumpkin latte and cookie butter latte taste the same? They also charge $1 more to make the drinks with oat milk. Why are they punishing customers for dietary restrictions? The prices are also high compared to other places. My husband ordered a slice of their blueberry almond loaf and it cost $7!

    3.5 stars because all the meat was dry…read more Very cute interior. Lots of space and they have a stage for entertainment. Service was so kind. They dont rush you at all. Large $16 or Small $9 Nigvziani Badrijani (Stuffed eggplant with walnut garlic paste) - liked this a lot! $24 Chkmeruli (Traditional Georgian - style oven backed chicken soaked in garlic creamy sauce served in a clay pan) - sauce was thinner than expected. Tasted really yummy! Yes garlicky but not overpowering. I love garlic so I wouldn't have been unhappy if it was more garlic forward. Chicken didn't soak the flavor as much as I expected so it needed sauce to get the flavor. Chicken a little dry. $25 Khinkali (Traditional Georgian dumplings with a twisted top, generously filled with your choice of spiced meat, cheese, or mushrooms, 5 Pieces) - loved these! My favorite dish. Expensive for 5 though, even though they are big. Meat was tender and flavorful. $25 Chakhokhbili (Traditional Georgian family style chicken dish with red peppers onions & herbs) - chicken was a little dry again. Flavors were mild, I was hoping for bold flavors. It was good just not what I expected. Perfect if you're looking for something more mild in flavor without any spice. $25 chicken Ojakhuri (Juicy marinated kabob pieces baked with potatoes and onions, seasoned with traditional Georgian spices and served sizzling in a rustic clay pan) - chicken a little dry again. Potato's were the winner here, garlicky and flavorful! Barely any onions. Price - expensive Portion - good portion, also keeping in mind price is high so it's good the portion is reasonable Service - great! Didn't check on us much though

    What a great meal! This was the first time that our family…read moreenjoyed Georgian food, and we really loved it. We found this restaurant through the yelp reviews, and, as usual, the yelp wisdom of crowds was correct. The meal was absolutely delicious. Sorry, I can't remember the Georgian names of the dishes but the eggplant rolls filled with walnut paste, the bread with melted cheese and egg yolk and the lamb and potato stew were all great choices. The food tasted home-made, as if a grandmother had cooked for us with love in every bite. Lots of garlic - we love that. Washed down with a glass or dry red Georgian wine, a perfect pairing. We were fully satisfied with our main dishes so were not able to try dessert. Next time. The atmosphere was nice - tablecloths on the table, friendly service, not noisy. We will definitely come back next time we are in the Evanston area.
