The blueberry poundcake is great, it's not too sweet and that really allows the blueberries come through naturally. Context: I've been coming here for 5+ years. The only times I don't like being here is right before showtimes at the Orpheum (check current shows to avoid the rush). They're not lacking for customers, and they have always, in my experience, delivered quality food and drinks. Their rotating menu selection is always a joy to look forward to. If you want to experience it more intimately/get a feel for it, go at around 5pm, on Sunday, or right after a showtime starts at the Orpheum. (Photos are of the mbti menu, the blueberry poundcake, and the tres leches.)

Excellent food and service. One of the best gin and tonics I've ever had. House made tonic. The pasta dishes have house made pasta and are scrumptious. If they have the Tres Leches offered for dessert, get it. Not overly drenched and a very nice version of a great dessert. Fia was an excellent server.

This is a very fun place. A funky atmosphere where the decor changes several times a year. We visited when they were celebrating Henry Doorly Zoo. Craft cocktails around the Zoo theme. We had the Zebra and the Butterfly. Both excellent. Won’t bother to describe, since they’ll be gone soon. I’m sure they will be replaced with something just as good. Deviled eggs and guacamole were fresh, delicious. Crab Pasta and Cubano Sandwich were excellent. One of those places you need to visit multiple times a year to catch the latest theme. Try the drink carousel if you are brave. Enjoy a drink made from a private bourbon barrel. Like the bourbon? They will sell you a bottle.
