"Wusssuuuuuuppppppppp My main squeeze and I made a reservation here for Feb 12 (before valentines day) probably about 3 weeks in advance and were able to get a good dinner time of 7:30. Decent yo. We arrived 15 minutes early and had to wait a little bit to be seated. But thats showbiz baby. The whole aesthetic there was pretty sweet. I really liked the pillows around the bench seats and whole friggin vibe ya know? Took my hat off when I walked in gee wiz So we got dinner. But before dinner I was skiing out at white heat all day, crushing the warm day freshies, and we could put the ARRR in starving (tummy was growlin). I was not prepared for the proportions we were about to be served. I've attached the gnocchi we got. I'll note it was literally the best I've ever had. Pillowy, soft, creamy, godly. You're a fool not to try it. If I was close enough to the cook I would've asked the secret is. But I was let down by the proportion. I could've eaten two of these along with my tappas. The tappas we got: brussel sprouts (literally a MUST EAT. SOOOO GUUD), olives (also good but beware of the pits. I just ate them like a man), and the shrimp. Brussel sprouts and olives exceeded expectations, but I wouldn't recommend the shrimp because it comes with three shrimp for 15 and how am I expected to share three shrimp? Doesn't quite fit the tappas definition imo. But aside from that, they were friggin good too! If I could adjust the Google review, I'd give them three due to the prices per portion. Otherwise, everything else was great. The food we got was phenomenal, our service was par for the course, and the music playlist was relevant and good. Good for a date if you make a reservation. Get with it y'all. Seeya next time 188"

"They 're really known for their bacon. They 're so known for it that it was a feature on United States of Bacon on the Discovery Network. If there is an afterlife and I come back reincarnated as a pig, I 'm not sure if I 'd want my meat to be famous. Ideally, I wouldn 't be slaughtered for my meat, but if I was going to be slaughtered for it, I might want to be served here. People seem to really enjoy the bacon. Or I 'd want to be part of a mcgriddle at McDonald 's, but I guess both those options would be pretty impersonal. The best case scenario would be if I had an owner that really cared for me. We spent majority of our days together, they were filled with belly rubs and long walks. Unfortunately, one day my owner gets some terrible news. Their heart is failing and they need a heart transplant immediately. They don 't want to take my heart. At this point I 'm their best friend and also while there have been some pig heart transplants to humans, it 's an extremely rare procedure that has it 's risks. In the end, they go through with it because they know that 's what I would have wanted. It goes swimmingly. To honor me, my owner ends up eating my full body, not wasting a single piece of me. While things are never the same without me, they go on to live a beautiful life. They experience every moment to it 's fullest, while always keeping my memory close to their heart...while I guess my heart. Anyway, I ended up not trying the bacon here. I got eggs, toast, and avocado. It was really good."
