3 stars seems fair. Food was alright. Service was excellent, although we were the only customers sitting at a table. A print out copy of the beer selection would be a better option than having to use your phone.

I’ve been here several times for dinner over the past few years and also once for brunch, and always have had a great experience. They have a few outside tables but seating is primarily in the downstairs, which has more of a cocktail lounge feel to it. On that note they do have an extensive list of beers and cocktails. I started with the Opportunity Hunterdon Haze which was an easy to drink IPA with a deceptively high ABV. Highly recommend to anyone that likes hazy IPAs. I also copied my buddy and got the Back to school New Fashioned which the waitress described as a PBJ drink. I really enjoyed it but my friend thought it was too sweet.
We started with the bacon shareable which was a no brainer. It was very tender and succulent, it seemed to melt in your mouth. We got the truffle pork pizza; their pizza is very unique as it’s incredibly thin as a result of using tortillas instead of dough. My friend and I enjoyed it.
The beer Mac’n cheese was different but very good. It wasn’t overloaded with butter or cheese which was interesting.
Lastly we got the short rib pot pie, which was a very hearty portion as it contained a lot of short rib. It was my friends least favorite but I enjoyed it.

Update- I came here again with my wife for lunch and we got cheddar IPA soup, grilled Reuben and salmon BLT. The soup was different from any I’ve had but my wife and I really liked it., despite it being summer. Definitely recommend. Grilled Reuben was excellent and the side salad was nice and fresh. I was less impressed with the Salmon BLT; enjoyed trying something new but wouldn’t get it again. It came with a large portion of fries which came out hot and were very good.

Wonderful staff. Downstairs bar is cozy. The meat board and a damn good Bloody Mary for Sunday Brunch is the best way to end the week.

This is my new absolute favorite place now. The whole staff is amazing, very welcoming and attentive, they have the best bartenders who will make you anything, and the food is just so delicious! Don’t listen to the bad reviews, there is nothing wrong with the service, brunch is amazing, great selection of beers, you can celebrate an adult birthday here, it just feels so homey! Let’s support our locals

Service, drinks and food were outstanding! Favorite place to go in all of Somerville and I highly recommend to everyone I know.

We went here for a birthday celebration. Right off the bat, the ambience is super cool. Quiet and lounge like describe this restaurant. There’s music but it’s barely audible in a good way. Service was good.
We ordered the duck fat fries and shrimp and chroizo to start. Wow the fries were delicious with a crazy surprise of smoked ketchup.
For entrees we got the hot honey chicken pizza (daily special) and the build your own burger. Both were stupendous. So uncommon to have a burger cooked a correct medium rare, but they did it.
The dessert, the stout brownie was the fluffiest most jiggly brownie I’ve ever had. Delicious.
We also ordered the smoke show cocktail which wasn’t really our style. I won’t hold that against them. You could tell how well the drunk was made.
All in all it was a great experience. Super delicious. Can’t wait to go back.

Really nice spot, lite fare menu with fair prices, Good selection of craft beers, Had the local October Fest from the tap. Good Temps no froth.. Had the shrimp tacos, was good, but small servings for the hearty appetite.. would definitely recommend for a quiet date night, low light ambient sets a good mood. Good service, clean environment. Parking wasn't the best.
