Good hip atmosphere. Big bar with lots of happy hour options. The restaurant is usually crowded so it's nice to have a bar to hang and eat. Friendly wait staff. Big space. Food selection nice and eclectic.

Went for brunch last weekend with friends. This new restaurant has quickly become a favorite for young families, couples, friends, and anyone who wants a casual meal with good food. Excellent coffee and other espresso variations. You do need to tolerate some noise from kids and babies, but the atmosphere is great all around.

If you are looking for creativity, cocktails, fun, delicious food and a cool atmosphere, look no further than this great bar in the heart of Takoma Park. The kitchen does a great job and all the dishes we sampled - from the day's catch to the hangar steak to the mussels and vegetarians were well prepared and seasoned. The meals were served hot and the pace of the meals was excellent. (I would be remiss if I did not mention an excellent wine list containing several local varieties) > Everything about the entire process from start to finish was first class and honestly a little surprising as someone who does not normally think of TP as a fine dining hotspot. I will not make that mistake again as I plan to return here.

Love this place, fun central location in Takoma Park, unique old-meets-new decor, great beer, great food. Inviting outdoor patio, lively and fun bar scene. Many tempting vegetarian options on the menu. Delicious burgers. Perfect neighborhood spot.

The four of us each ordered a different entree. The meat dish was good but oversalted. The two glasses of wine, a pint and a glass of Cabernet, were not impressive. The service was attentive but someone seemed to be constantly refilling water glasses while we were having a drink, "It was a pleasant experience but it has a ways to go before I give it 5 stars.".
