I love this little hidden joint. And they just started doing Authentic Ramen Monday nights from 6pm-9pm. Choices of protein are Steak, Ahi Tuna, Chicken and Tofu. I slurped the broth at the end and was wanting seconds. I highly recommend. They also have open mic comedy starting at 8pm Mondays. I’ll be going back every week.

I love this place! I love the bartenders and their fun demeanor even on busy nights. The food is always tasty and fresh, a great mix of perfect deli and bar food just like you want on a night out! Also, my husband and I LOVE when they host karaoke nights! The DJ has an astounding selection of songs and is always amiable and will even duet if asked- he’s a great singer too!! We’ve had a great time here and you will too
