So there we were, hungry on a Sunday at 12:30. Outside is low key and did not prepare me for what followed. I'd driven past a few times and kept driving. First thing I noticed walking through was the kitchen smells were So Good!! Serious yum. The restaurant was filled with happy diners clearly enjoying their meals, always a good sign. We were seated directly, though the last few tables were filled within minutes. Our hope was for a cozy meal and the upstairs was just right. Our server was thoughtful and charming, he brought us water right away and checked on us several times. At times the noise level was high, but it was a cheerful happy level and not stupid drunk loud, which matters to me as a non drinker. I wanted the gastro- part, but was leery of the -pub part of gastropub. Our cheeseburgers were top flight: old school rich and juicy on brioche buns. Mmmm. The coated fries were so tasty. No photos bc the food was so inviting we dove in as soon as the plates were on the table. I had a bottle of root beer and my companion had coffee, which is Verve and served in a French press. No secret that I'm nosy and always sneak glances at others' orders. Everything looked delish, especially the Margherita pizza. I noticed that most of the diners had the wedge salad, so I'm def going to order that next time. Happy about our visit, will 100% return to partake in the dinner menu.

Delicious food! I went on spaghetti night and OMG so good. Everything is made in house. Lots of choices when it comes to craft cocktails and beers. I also appreciated the friendly server and host staff. The only downside is it can be hard to find from the outside since it's not well lit in the front.

I have been here a few times and have always enjoyed the food (think upscale bar food). We went there for brunch today and ordered the iceberg salad and the breakfast sandwich. The iceberg salad had lots of thick pieces of bacon and the sandwich was on a biscuit. My main ask would be to add more items to the brunch menu. Another sandwhich or salad option would have been great. I saw a pizza come out and it looked fantastic. Will try one of those next time.

Stopped by for an early dinner, unfortunately this place does not have happy hour but still has a decently sized menu! Although it was a weekday, it was still pretty busy. We were seated quickly and given water, but it did take a very long time for our server to check in and take our drink/ food order. Once we finally ordered, it took some time for our food to come to the table. I did notice that some of the guests around us who got there after, got their food first. We tried their margherita pizza and burger. Both were delicious! The Parmesan cheese for the pizza was soo good too. There is plenty of parking and it is located in a shopping center with a theatre nearby. Besides the lengthy wait, everything else was fine and I loved the food!

Nicely updated gem with authentic and down to earth service. Check out the weekend brunch $4 mimosas! Nice presentation great flavors.

Best value ! Thank me later and often:) Happy hour served up regular portions for $5 Are you kidding me??!!' Bring your teens !

Great place to hang out. Nice lively vibe. Plenty of seating. 2 floors. I highly recommend the cheddar biscuits!! Sooo good, and the jalapeño butter was a nice touch. Perfect pairing with my SC cider. Service was great. She was very attentive, and friendly. Keep it up East End!! I will def be back.

The service is attentive and quick, and they don't rush you or anything like that. It's a casual spot with high-quality food. Overall: Fusion food - Italian with some Asian twists on some items. It's interesting, and the flavors work great. Starters: - Sesame Glazed Chicken: comes with three drumsticks. I am amazed by its flavor. It's sweet and savory. The chicken is tender and falls off the bone easily. The sauce pairs really well with the chicken. - Fire Roasted Caulilini: This is my favorite starter. The dish is packed with sweet, savory, and sour flavors, well-balanced. I doubted initially when it comes with coconut curry, but it actually works well with the caulilini. The peanut sauce just adds another layer to this dish. Entree: - Squid Ink Pappardelle: The portion is generous. It's a little bit spicy (just a hint), and I love the addition of chili to this dish. The Pappardelle is kind of sticking to each other. It might work better with a different kind of pasta.
