THE BEST drinks, shareable plates, and woodfire oven baked pizza's in town. They source as much of their ingredients locally as possible, and carefully craft everything they make. Go for lunch, happy hour, dinner, or late night (they are the only restaurant in downtown open until midnight too!). It has a super groovy atmosphere too that makes you want to bring a book and soak it all in (when it isn't too busy!)
