Popular dishes include the sweet tea deviled eggs, fried chicken thighs, and duroc pork chop." - Helen I. Hwang

Vista’s Flying Pig to Renovate and Reopen Next Month - Eater San Diego

"Vista’s Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen opened about two years ago, attempting to replicate the success of the company’s first location in Oceanside, a popular farm-to-table spot. But while the restaurant has garnered praise for its dishes and dining room (both of which have expanded the scope of what’s available in downtown Vista), business has slowed down lately, and the location is preparing for a big change." - Mike Schramm

Wow, wow! We hosted a Rehearsal Dinner and it was FABULOUS! We worked with Michaela on the menu, went a couple of times to try various menu items and came up with our special dishes for the dinner. Michaela was amazing every step of the way, including making our custom printed menu — our server the night of was Joe —and he was awesome! Attentive, friendly, efficient and a great guy! Our group was 22 people and they made us all feel so welcome. Kudos to the chefs for amazing dishes…pork chop, shrimp and grits, fried chicken and spare rib. The appetizers were incredible as well…..and the banana crème stuffed beignets were to die for. We will definitely be back…thank you Michaela, Joe and team for your service and making the Rehearsal Dinner so memorable!

Food was nice and hot! To start we had the truffle fries which is a great sized portion, came with a sauce that i enjoyed. Yum! I tried the cajun catfish and it had a nice spice to it. Very good for my first time trying catfish. The catfish was very soft and i enjoyed the creamy Cajun sauce on top. My husband had the house bolognese and that was very tasty! This is a great place to try if you are visiting Oceanside. It was recommended to us by a local 🙂

In the area exploring Oceanside and was pulled in by the name of this place! The food was excellent. Can wholeheartedly recommend the PEI Mussels Jambalaya and Tri-Tip sandwich. The lovely lady serving us knows the menu very well and her pep was certainly appreciated. Great service!

Flavor: A- Service: B Tea: A Solo dining: A The Pig Burger is the Flying Pig’s most popular item for good reason. It’s a thin beef patty, a thin pork patty, bourbon bacon onion jam, and white cheddar on a delicious bun. I’d say it earns an A- for flavor with a great taste that could come on even stronger. The meat is regionally sourced, the burgers are clearly house made, and the cheese is perfectly melted. Who knew California could do a burger so well? The truffle fries and accompanying aioli are also delectable so treat yourself to that up charge. The inside feels a little fancy for a pub but dining outside seems more So-Cal anyway. Especially with an impatient driver yelling not-so-politically-correct things at pedestrians that snapped right back with their own insults. Dinner and a show!?! Cheers to the Flying Pig for bringing these farm animals together in an extraordinary burger. #theburgertrail

Everything was absolutely amazing! The salad with goat-cheese, avocado, horseradish! The prime short-rib in a veggie broth with black-eyed peas! The fried chicken & mashed potatoes with mac-&-cheese! The beignets with fruit confit! All of it to die for! Also, the service is top-notch! Truly stellar servers - thanks Joe!

Absolutely legendary tri-tip sandwich served here. A bit steep on the price, with it pushing $100 for burrata, tri-tip sandwich, and pork chop meal with no drinks, but the quality really comes through in the food. Highly recommend this joint if ever in Oceanside

Food was delicious! Service was wonderful. The ambiance was great. Highly recommend when in Oceanside! We started out as a group of 14 that quickly grew to 40. Our server, Joe and the team at Flying Pig were quick and accommodating. Our friends had been before and highly suggested the fried chicken sando with the truffle fries and it did not disappoint!! Highly recommend it with the house made ranch dressing. Everything was wonderful and with as many as we had in our party, no one was disappointed. Thank you, Joe, for your patience with our big group and for being awesome!!

I recently dined at Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! The brussels sprouts with cranberries were a standout--perfectly crispy with a delicious balance of sweetness from the cranberries. I also had the fried chicken thigh, which was incredibly crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, served with savory collard greens that complemented the dish perfectly. The short rib was another highlight--so tender it practically fell off the bone, bursting with flavor. On top of the fantastic food, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere made it a great spot to relax and enjoy the meal. I highly recommend Flying Pig and Kitchen for anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying dining experience!

Food here was excellent and the service was good as well. We stopped by for happy hour and enjoyed a couple drinks and some food. The deviled eggs are delicious! The mac and cheese is so rich and cheesy. We were bar hopping so we didn't order any BBQ, but we'd definitely come back again.

My wife & I wanted to try someplace new tonight and couldn't have been more pleased with our experience at Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen. From the moment we walked in we were comfortable. Warm greetings, upbeat staff that were attentive yet non-intrusive. They had a large party taking much of the faculty so we sat at the bar to dine. Our bartender/service woman was great. We perused the menu which was full of creative options & several specials. One of which was Sheppards Pie , a favorite of my wife, that sadly they had sold out of. We settled on two of their "OG" Classics based on a recommendation of another patron. I had their burger that was one quality beef patty & one extraordinary pork patty. It was delicious without adding a single condiment to it. My wife had their signature Tri-tip sandwich. Again, delicious. It was so filling she brought half home. Finally, we tried their Pork Belly Sundae for dessert. A traditional sundae with tiny bits of cooked pork belly. It was a wonderful mix of sweet, rich & salty with a bit of chew. We split it & had 25% still in the bowl when we left. Nice variety of specialty beers on tap. I suggest the French Toast Stout - a unique flavor experience in a stout.

Food: 5/5 steak & eggs. It was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Their sourdough bread was delicious, it's soft and not so dry. Their fries are also delicious, I would definitely swap out the baked potatoes for fries the next time I'm there. Shrimp sandwich was okay, but definitely get the steaks. Service: good service and staff are very friendly. Ambiance: very nice and clean. Good for big groups, they have tables and bar sitting.

Located off the main strip in O'side, the interior is very unique with the various chandeliers and wooden interior. I wasn't terribly hungry so I ordered the bruschetta while my friend ordered the Caesar salad. The bruschetta was a bit unconventional with goat cheese, spicy honey, and arugula. I don't recall the price but it was just under $20. When I saw the "hot honey drizzle" I literally thought they drizzled hot honey, as in temperature hot. Little did I know that it was spicy! I wasn't expecting that. My daughter didn't care for it much likening it to "something my dad would make, it was literally half a piece of bread." We also shared the pitcher of one of the Porch Sippers - I believe it is a seasonal item since it is not on their current menu but contained rosé wine and was very tasty! At $30 it seemed a bit pricey but actually we couldn't finish it amongst the three of us! Our waiter was attentive - the hostess was okay, maybe she is tired of tourists? Would I return? I think I would pass for now since Oceanside has other interesting spots to try out.

Met friends for dinner and we shared a variety of items from the menu. Everything was really fresh tasting and flavorful. The service was great. We had a very relaxed evening and would definitely go back. Really fun spot to hang and enjoy an evening.

Definitely gets busy, so come early or be prepared to wait! Casual dining but legit food. 5/5 Cauliflower app - crispy, spicy 4/5 burger - A bit too simple with two patties and cheese. Would've liked some veggies on it. 5/5 tri tip sandwich - I usually don't spring for tri tip because they are typically dry. Their tri tip was tender and juicy.

We love to travel down the coast on the train and today we came with 5 other couples for a day of exploring and some eats... Because we were 12 I decided to call and get a reservation while on the train just to be safe. I was going off Yelp! reviews and what a great choice it was. The place is really nicely decorated. We were seated in a large room away from the bar but it gave our loud large group some room to ourselves. Our waitress Sam was awesome, she did a great job with a huge personality. After serving our drinks we started with some appetizers. We shared fried pickles, the goat cheese the new deviled eggs. All were great, especially that goat cheese. My wife and I ordered the Shrimp & Grits and the Mussels. I don't think you can make a bad choice here. Our group was super happy with their decisions including the Fried Chicken and Beignets, Shrimp Po Boy, the Watermelon salad and a couple of burgers. We were stuffed but one in our group had to taste the banana Beignets and we all tasted it. Again, everything here is good. The service is amazing, the drinks are amazing, the decor is.. well you get the drift. Can't wait to get back here.

Swung in to check out the Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen in Oceanside. Surprisingly quiet for an early afternoon during the Summer, I was able to score a seat at the bar rather easily. I went with the local Karl Strauss Hill Street Blonde draft (San Diego) and the Pork Verde Chilaquiles before brunch stopped being served at 3pm. My bartender was friendly and it appeared that there was a family-run feel to the staff (including management) running around helping each other out, checking on patrons and asking how the experience was. I found that type of effort, especially during a slower period, to be indicative of the detailed attention to service excellence at the Pig. The restaurant itself was nice, open air with plenty of indoor and covered outdoor seating to people watch in Downtown Oceanside. The bar itself had a dozen seats, a two small TVs to watch the latest sporting events. The chilaquiles were served up in a small iron skillet. At first, one may think that the diminutive portion size won't be adequate, however, once you dive in, you'll find that it was packed with incredible flavor. The pulled pork was extremely tender, served with a spicy salsa verde over a bed of tortilla chips. Topped with a perfectly cooked fried egg, cotija cheese and cilantro, this dish was deep in flavor and hearty. The bathrooms are clean, well-stoked and easily accessible. The prices are comparable to other establishments in the area near the beach, but the value you get in the homemade offerings blows most other Oceanside gastropubs away. For the drinking crowd, the beer was delicious and I also witnessed a fellow patron order the Bloody Mary. I must say, it looked delicious, right down to the extremely unique and rather porkified garnish. Next time you are in Oceanside, swoop into The Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen, you won't be disappointed.

I hadn't been back here since their original location. This location has nice ambiance and decor. It's become more of a gourmet restaurant than before. The steak was excellent. The pork belly was good too, but overpriced. The beef short rib was not good at all, the quinoa was not good and the squash it came with was flavorless and burnt. I tried two beers on tap, the first one I got was flat. Had some difficulty getting clean silverware, but overall service was decent.

We ordered the deviled eggs (very unique!), the fried chicken salad (just ok), and the truffle fries (by far the best out of all three)! We had the bartender serving us and service was mediocre. It's a cute, eclectic, artsy place when you walk inside.

Came here for our Anniversary dinner to start the night! Started with waters and a Hazy IPA and a drink special my fiancée had that was in menu. Definitely on a Friday I presume which today is it's quite busy because it is like a classy/casual ambiance, you definitely might wait a minute for your food but that's okay because I get it! Definitely having a drink before helps Next when our food came I had the Pig Burger which is totally worth it and comes with fries! She has the House Bolognese which is made daily by the team for that day. I'll be honest they were great and definitely a little steep for price but I get it! We finished all our food and I'm impressed. Worth every penny, try em out!

I have had this place bookmarked for a thousand years--ok, maybe just a hundred--and finally visited on s Sunday evening. They have outdoor patio seating but the interior decor is charmingly chaotic, and I mean that in the best way. The cocktail, beer, and wine menu is strong. I tried the Smoke Show which is made with mezcal and, as the menu indicated, it was a "heavy hitter." It was extremely boozy and smoky. I thought it was awesome but you have to like booze and smoke to enjoy this one. Normally, I absolutely love deviled eggs but I think the ones here, while very creative, were a miss. They are quite different than normal deviled eggs, which is just fine, but they seemed very dry to me. The filling wasn't as luxuriously creamy as normal deviled eggs. I give them points for the very interesting ingredients, however. The short ribs were incredibly tender and delicious and the portion size was generous . The grits under the ribs was fine but needed seasoning. Alas, there is no salt on any of the tables. I have no doubt our terrific server would have brought me some amazing gourmet salt if I had asked but hey, no big deal. I loved the ribs. The scallops entree over risotto was very good. If you like scallops, give these a try. The decor is attractive and funky, the service was outstanding, and most of the food was very good. A couple of misses but I would gladly return. It's a fun place.

We came up here a couple weekends ago for an appointment and decided to make a day out of the trip to Oceanside. This food is inspired by New Orleans cuisine so this was a must try. We got the chicken and beignets plate and the SCF Pork Chop plate. Everything was mouth watering. I usually don't eat fried chicken but the chicken was juicy and the combination of the beignets drizzled in that hot honey really blew me away. The pork chop was tender and paired so good with the grits! Might be back this upcoming weekend to try some other dishes at this spot.

Wow, wow, wow! We were recommended to try FLYING PIG this last weekend and so glad we did! We decided to share a few dishes between the four of us...The fried chicken with beignets, Mac and cheese, and goat cheese were to die for! Service was amazing and the energy, ambience was super cool - like being in the French Quarter of NOLA. Highly recommend...we will def be going back!

Incredible menu and food!! We went for brunch and ordered the goat cheese, jambalaya, and cheesy potato skillet. Portion sizes are big! Service was lovely as well and we didn't have to wait to be seated at all. Good vibes overall. We live in Costa Mesa but we will absolutely be driving down to Oceanside just for this spot in the future!

The Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen is a cozy and rustic Oceanside favorite. The dishes were rich with flavor and paired unique and unexpected ingredients together to make a match made in heaven. The pork belly with the pancake was a perfect example of this and was the highlight of our meal. We enjoyed sitting at the bar and received wonderful and quick service from their team. This is an awesome dinner spot and their brunch menu looks equally amazing!

Originally tried to go to toasted gastropub for brunch but the wait was too long so I found this place on Yelp. Service: 5/5 Service was great! Friendly and attentive but didn't hover. Food: 4/5 Overall the food was really good. The fries were a bit too skinny/slightly overcooked for me but the pig burger was delicious (one pork patty and one beef patty). I think it's a tad overpriced but it's fair. Drinks: 2/5 Bloody Mary wasn't spicy at all and was bland. Mimosa was fair but definitely get the bottle (way better value). 2 Mimosas were $21 and a bottle of champagne was $39. Ambiance: 4/5 I liked the ambiance. Animal heads on the wall, they had blankets in case customers got cold.

3.5 is my review. We had been trying to go to Stone Brewing down the street, but didn't realize it didn't have food, so they recommended we come here. They have beers on tap, wine and cocktails. It's a dark, pub-like environment. The service was very friendly and appropriately attentive. They even offered me a blanket because it was cold and rainy out. The drinks were very good. I got a cold brew cocktail and the hubs got an IPA. The fried pickles are a MUST! We then shared the blackened fish sandwich with the truffle fries and the little gems Caesar. There is only one fish I don't like--mahi mahi. I neglected to ask what the fish was and I think this was it. Not my cup of tea. But the hubs loved it--lots of flavor and texture on the sandwich. The truffle was a bit overpowering but the shoestring fries were nicely salted and crispy. I'd get plain next time. The Caesar was flavorless. We barely ate any of it. Not worth it.

OMG... I can't say enough great things about this restaurant that we just stumbled upon. I had the pork belly with pomegranate and brussels sprout over a corn pancake... Can I say this was one of the best pork bellies I've ever tasted. My husband had the tri-tip sandwich with truffle fries. He was in heaven. It didn't end there, for dessert we had the beignets with banana pudding and blackberry jelly. Friendly owners and staff. Can't wait to come back. Would recommend to anybody in the Oceanside area.

This is not our first visit. Our first visit was a year ago. And we were super excited to come back as we had a wonderful time the last time. We were seated immediately upon arriving. And given the menus. The deco has not changed since the last time we visited. It's a chill vibe slowish Saturday afternoon. Not all the tables were filled today. They have seating both inside and outside. It appears to have expanded to an empty shop next door, and that can be accessed by a door on the side. We were seated right next to the bar. They took our drink orders. Hubby ordered a perfect manhattan, and I ordered the alabama vacation. The drinks took approximately 10 minutes to come. I'm happy to report that we both loved our drinks!!! The perfect manhattan was yummy to my hubby. And my alabama vacation was nice. Light and not overly strong. The food we ordered PEI mussels for appetisers, chicken fried pork, and a pear and apple salad. The food took about 15 minutes after our drinks came. And they had forgotten our mussels. Our server had said that when my hubby said to scratch our initial order of baked bolognese , he had scratched our mussels as well. Since our food had already arrived by the time we realized that, we told him not to put the order for the mussels in anymore. The chicken fried pork was yummy. It arrived with the breaded and fried pork chop on a bun at the bottom, topped with a sunny side up; garnished with some sprouts and potato chunks on the side. There was also gravy on the pork chop itself. The chicken fried pork itself was crispy and smelt so good and tasted heavenly. The gravy over it was delicious. What my hubby didn't like about it was that the bottom of the egg was a little overdone. And he didn't care for the bread underneath. I had a pear and apple salad. It was already tossed with dressing. It had dates, candied pecans, and blue cheese. I enjoyed the salad till I hit the bottom. It felt like there was so much dressing at the bottom. There was a lot of blue cheese, and the bottom tasted a little over salty for me. That's just me - I'm used to eating very little dressing. We did end our lunch with a wonderful dessert. We had banana pudding. It came presented on a plate with the banana pudding in a little jar. It was built up like a parfait with whipped cream and a caramelised banana. It tasted really good! Overall, it was nice. They kept checking on us to make sure we were taken care of, and we appreciate that. I do, however, feel that service could be a little faster. And I feel that I expected a lot more from this place that we had visited and enjoyed a year ago. Keep up the good work! And thank you for wonderful time! Wanted to also point out that the menu on the website may not be 100 percent similar to the one at the restaurant. I was looking forward to trying the alley cat but it wasn't available at all on the menu in the restaurant. I would suggest that the website be updated regularly to reflect what is currently available at the restaurant.

This trending restaurant popped up on my Yelp feed. I saw their happy hour menu and I had to try it. I like to get the smaller plates and see if I like the dish rather than ordering the regular plate. I came around 430p.m. on a Sunday. They were not busy at all, so I got to choose my table. I chose the 2 person wooden table. The waiter said it was made by a customer years ago. Wow it was stunning. The whole place is just hip and eclectic. You can look around and the room and find something fascinating. Our waiter, Joe, took our order quickly. He is very personable. He also made some suggestions. He did a great job overall. Again, I ordered from the happy hour menu so that I can taste test the dishes. It was really hard to decide what to pick since I wasn't super hungry. My favorite dish #1 was the chicken Sando. This was recommended by Joe, the waiter. I can see why since it top my list of favorites. It was big, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I also liked the beer pickles in it and the mustard aioli. 10/10. My 2nd favorite dish was the deviled eggs. They brine the egg in sweet tea but it wasn't sweet, it just turned the egg brown. The dill pollen fried capers were good as well as the bacon. The whole thing was so good. 9/10 My 3rd favorite dish was the fried pickles. It was yummy! The pickles were battered and fried. They gave us ranch and ketchup to dip them in. 9/10 The smash burger was a bit of a letdown. I've been on a smash burger kick since I went to For the Win in LA. This wasn't quiet that. It tasted like a burger. It was plump and juicy. I couldn't taste the zip zip sauce in it. 8/10 Finally, the Mac n cheese. It was definitely better than ones I've had. You can taste the mornay and provolone cheese. I generally don't like Mac n cheese especially from a box. This one was good. 8/10

The food was okay, we started off with the truffle fries, which had an excellent dipping sauce. I had the short ribs with grits. The grits I thought was cooked very well but I shouldn't have added all the cheese and bacon, it really took away from the grits itself. We also had a side mashed potatoes with gravy which to me wasn't that great. My better half ate the fried chicken thighs with greens which was juicy and tasty. We ordered 3 drinks which was a bit on the pricey side but very tasty. Our servers had great attitudes and were attentive so our needs throughout the evening.

Thank you for the bottom of my heart for such an extraordinary experience for me and my friends. Levi and Joe were amazing to us. The food was outrageously fantastic and the service was equally as fantastic. I just wanted to thank you so much for making the celebration dinner such a success. Tip - Make a reservation. Ask for the Chef's Table in the East Wing for your party. Take the server's recommendations! We did and they were the table favorites!

I stopped by Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen a couple weeks ago with some friends. Honestly, I had mixed feelings about the place. The food was overall pretty solid, but there were a few things that I wasnt particularly happy with. First off, I had the fried chicken it was crispy and juicy just like you'd hope. The collard greens on the side were a bit bland. I really wanted more flavor from them, especially with how good the chicken was. My friend ordered the shrimp po' boy, and we both thought it could've used a bit more seasoning. The vibe inside was a nice rustic and cozy atmosphere, definitely a great spot for a casual hangout. But it was pretty loud, so if you're looking for a quiet meal, this might not be the best choice. Service was decent, but our waiter seemed a bit distracted, like they had too much going on, so we waited a while for refills. Would I come back? Probably. The food is mostly good, and the prices are fair for the area. Its possible I caught them on a bad day, will definitely try something different on the menu!

Had a celebratory dinner for a good friend who got a life changing job, and it was terrific! Joe took care of us tonight and was on point. Checked on us regularly, keeping our drinks full and the food coming! Thanks, Joe! At the table, we had fried chicken with mashed and bacon collards, sort ribs, scallops, and a pork cop. Everything was terrific and perfectly prepared with an excellent presentation! Dessert was a double order of Beignets, fabulous! This is a beautiful restaurant with excellent food and staff, drop in and give them a try.

Nice place to grab food. Outside patio is doggie friendly! Came here for lunch one day and got a table outside, brought our pups and there were other people with their dogs as well. We ordered the deviled eggs and the pig burger with salad to share. The pig burger was phenomenal, meat was flavorful, cooked to perfection and the cheese was melted on, with the bacon jam. The side salad was really delicious too. The deviled eggs were smoked and a bit lacking in flavor, different from regular deviled eggs for sure. Service was ok, bathroom was clean, street parking was easy to find.

Great find in downtown Oceanside. The place is clean and trendy. The staff provided great service and were super friendly. The food was superb! The goat cheese is a must! They have a full bar as well. I don't think you could go wrong with anything you order here.

It was... fine. Service was fairly slow. The place itself felt kind of like a Cracker Barrel inside. My steak was way too salty and the price tag didn't really fit the quality of food. Best part of the meal was the wedge salad. The grits were flavorless.

Visited for lunch today. Upon walking in we where greeted and seated at a table. We put in a drink order a short time later. When the drinks arrived we order food. I had a perfect manhatten and the staff asked aboit bourbon choice. The mrs had alabama vacation which she enjoyed. The Mrs had the apple and pear salad and pear and apple salad and I had the chicken fried pork. She felt the salad was a little dressing heavy bit tasty. My pork was well cooked and had a delicious country gravy. We also ordered PEI mussels as a starter, but somehow that order was never put through. So we went without. Lastly we ordered the banana pudding to finish off which was nice. Just for reference we visited a year ago for a dinner and felt much better about the experience

The Flying Pig is a great spot for a nice, casual meal. It's elevated comfort food with a full bar. I've gone twice now to this location -- the previous location was smaller and kind of hidden. Better here in all ways. The tri tip sandwich is delicious and probably one of their most popular dishes, judging from how many were coming out of the kitchen.

I'm visiting from D.C and was told by family that all the food in Oceanside is bland.... I ordered the steak and eggs and was left in awe. The food was absolutely delicious. Nothing else needs to be said I definitely recommend this restaurant.

I recently dined at this restaurant and unfortunately had a series of issues that affected our overall experience. One of my children's dishes arrived with a hair in it, and when I brought this to the server's attention, their response was less than courteous. Additionally, I ordered two lemonades, but we received only one lemonade and a water with minimal lemon, yet were charged as if for two lemonades. The pineapple juices we received were spoiled, and the potatoes were undercooked. On a positive note, I do admire the presentation of the dishes and the overall taste of the food. However, the service and some aspects of the food quality were disappointing. I hope the restaurant addresses these issues to enhance future dining experiences.

The Flying Pig Pub and Kitchen, Oceanside, CA - November 25, 2023 We arrived at about 4 PM on a Saturday afternoon with our two sons. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit outdoors, streetside. It was a little coolish, so we asked to have our outdoor heater lit. That put off some nice warmth. Happy hour is from 2:30 to 5:30. Our server was very friendly and attentive. He got our drink orders right away and gave us a little time to decide what we wanted. They were still serving items from the lunch menu, so we settled in on the Pig burgers all around. We ordered a brussels sprout, appetizer and a couple glasses of wine, and some sodas for the boys as well. We ordered a side salad with one burger and fries with the other. The food was delicious and we had a nice time watching people drive-by in their low riders. There must've been a low rider convention going on because there were a lot of those types of cars. This place is definitely worth checking out.

Wasn't too hungry but stopped in for some apps and drinks. The mac and cheese and pork belly appetizers were delicious and drinks were great. Recommend it to anyone in the area!

I've been dining at Flying Pig since it was on Tremont. They moved to Mission Ave location and started slow. Now they have their original chef back and have definitely upped their game. The menu is incredible. Prices are fair. Quality and originally are superb. I had the shrimp poboy for lunch. Delicious with truffle fries. The new side room adds the needed club feel for an evening out.

We sat outside it was a nice day. But service was a little slow. Food was very tasty and well presented. We all enjoyed their cocktails. Very nice experience overall. Would dine here again.
