    Happy hour from noon-7pm. Half off well drinks, sangria, and select beers. Don\'t forgot your free sea salt chocolate chip cookies. Delish!

    Gluten Free options on the menu. That said, servers are not 100% educated on variations so if not sure ask the chef.

    Bit disappointed after reading such great reviews. I'd say great for cocktails but avoid the food. Does get busy on a Friday night but to be expected.

    The Problem Child cocktail is unbearably sweet, but the bathroom has very cool soap dispensers.

    Food was good, drinks were good. Staff appeared very busy so we waited a while to place our orders, found the restaurant quite noisy & dark tho

    The chickpea lettuce wraps are delish. Spicy, smoky and hint of sweet melon is very nice.

    Try a basil gimlet or the signature Misfit cocktail. 1/2 off well drinks during happy hour are a steal when you realize its Buffalo Trace Bourbon & Tito's Handmade Vodka. Happy Hour noon-7pm daily! Read more
