This South End restaurant offers a cozy, intimate atmosphere with consistently delicious food and expertly crafted drinks, making it ideal for brunch, dinner, or late-night outings. The attentive and friendly staff, combined with thoughtfully prepared dishes like the hanger steak and unique cocktails, create an experience that keeps me coming back time and again.

Loud bar and gets crowded but come anyway because the food is worth it.
