Really cool local spot! Forgot to grab a picture of my sandwich but it was delicious - The American Spicy, with chili crisp aoli that was a great crunch to this sandwich. Loved that the ralcette cheese was melted and drop right on to the sandwich. I also tried a caviar bar snack (which I did get a pic of) still don't know if I loved it or not. Lol but definitely worth the try and only $3 Can't wait to see what they do on the patio 🫶🏼

The European raclette sandwich was delicious! Great balance of flavors and it paired well with the salad which was tossed in a light balsamic-y dressing. The tinned mackerel was such a pleasant surprise. It was actually so delicious that it inspired me to buy a tin of mackerel when we were grocery shopping later in the day. The vibes, decor, and music were impeccable, we will definitely be back soon!

After going here I was tempted to leave a review but held off because it seemed like the owner meant well, and the business is just getting its footing. That said, your response to the slightest bit of criticism—a perpetual and necessary aspect of the hospitality industry—is telling. I so hoped to enjoy this place, as the decor and vibe on the inside is very cool and eclectic. Yes, I saw the menu ahead of time, so I knew to expect the smell of raclette, but it was still surprisingly overwhelming. I’m sure you’ll tell me that I haven’t traveled to enough countries in the world to garner an appreciation for this cheese or something, and maybe that’s true, but my advice would be to not center your menu around a single product with an odor so divisive that some customers may just turn away, or only want to sit outside. A few of the tots, which were air-fried, were still slightly cold in the middle, and given your infrastructure limitations, perhaps I would consider investing in a different way of cooking these. Regardless of whether you have a full kitchen or not, I find it strange that the side of greens would come completely undressed, especially when you have a full salad (with dressing) on the menu. I figure that at the very least you could use the same dressing or vinaigrette on the side of greens that accompanies a sandwich. The bar snack of cracker, whipped cream, caviar, and sprinkles felt like it was imagined not of inventiveness, but simply because it’s quirky, which though I respect the whimsicalness, does not make for a good dish. It didn’t taste good, and while I can laugh at how goofy it’s composition is, I wish I could’ve also been surprised at how much I enjoyed the combination of ingredients. In general, The food was nothing to write home about, the wine was better, and the espresso tasted great. Maybe lean into that, then you would have to worry less about your cooking space limitations, plus the place would smell better, making grabbing a bottle of wi

Wasn’t sure what to expect when we wandered in, but excited to have this gem tucked into the Bay Creek neighborhood! Overall, very tasty and very friendly! Loved the soft bread bites on top of the salad 😋 Truly superior to crunchy croutons. We had The European sandwich which was also yummy (meat, cheese, bread, and pickles is an easy way to my heart). Bummed they were out of tater tots, but would love to try the tots version next time! Also, I never order dessert, but we were sold on this tart cherry layered chocolate pudding..delicious!!

Such a cute and comfy sit n sip! The owner, Adam, is so kind and creative. We tried the chocolate pumpkin bread and cookie and they were delicious. Right along the bike bath at Park & Winga!
