I tried the Al pastor tacos with the homemade tortillas! This was super delicious, the homemade tortillas was a great touch. I also had the deviled eggs and the nachos. Both delicious. My cocktail was pretty delicious as well, i got two of them. :-)

This place is exactly what you need. Feels like going to your fancy friend’s house with a warm fireplace, full bar of delicious cocktails, thoughtfully selected beer & wine, and unpretentious perfectly executed food. Brunch is fantastic, they were out of biscuits one day and the chef whipped us up an amazing potato bowl with gravy cheese, eggs and toast. It’s our go to neighborhood spot!

We came here on a cold Sunday morning and the owner of this place was so nice to us! It was cold outside so he made sure we were warm by bringing us a heater! We ordered some beers, Mac and cheese, hot dog and Fingerling potatoes, everything came out hot and fresh and absolutely delicious! We were contemplating between this place and a coffee shop and I’m glad we picked this one! They are located next to a park and have a lot of outdoor seating areas. It’s all covered so you can hide here from the rain. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in the neighborhood!

Awesome little place. Food is well presented. Super chill owners running it. Answered all my questions. I starred with one taco. It tasted like Holy Goodness, so I ordered another one. Neat and clean spot. I will definitely go back. Thanks Sv Rhiannon

Had a quick dinner on a lovely summer evening and got to enjoy the breeze with seats just inside the large roll-up door that opens out onto their outdoor seating area. Drinks were fabulous and the food was well-seasoned and freshly made. Service was very attentive, though it could have been a bit more informative upon arrival- we were seated and served waters and menus, made a decision on food, only to be told that our selection was sold out...and then that our second selection was also sold out. A quick intro upon arrival would have been helpful, but they definitely made up for it with with cheerful and attentive service. We'll definitely be back again, hopefully to try their breakfast options.

Cozy fire with yummy food, cocktails and coffee! Lots of draft options. Everything here is made from scratch. From their biscuits to their cocktail syrups. Labor of love and it truly shows in everything they serve!

This place is fun! Full bar is nice. Love the maps on the wall. The tacos were very good! Impressed with the omelette my friend ordered as well. Yet another lovely establishment in Kenton.
