What to Order
Truffle Parmesan Herb Fries
These fries are praised for their perfect crispiness and non-greasy texture, served with an amazing dip.
"Their fries were crispy but non-greasy at all, I know it might seems like a given but this is one of the few restaurants where they execute it so well! The dip was amazing..."

Beef Tartare
