    Tried about eight or nine dishes. Baby octopus stood out as the best. Give it a try.

    Small dishes to pass, a little goes a long way. Look past the name, but the "Pig Face" is the best dish on the menu.

    Shaved kohlrabi salad is good. Grilled lamb ribs melt in your mouth. Roasted cauliflower and soft shell crab are MUSTS! All fantastic.

    Great interior and beer selection. Skip the food, does not live up to the hype or the price! I spent the next day vomitting at work.

    Tasty kohlrabi salad. The food is salty. The goat is heavy and comes with nothing to cut down the fat (which would help if they didn't serve items in the order that they're ready from the kitchen).
