What players say

First off, our server, Amanda, was exceptionally amazing! There was outdoor and indoor seating, and we had an awesome time outside. The cocktails had names that were particularly eye catching and politically relevant.

★★★★★ Michael, May 2019

A pretty interesting place with some cool food options. The host was super friendly and our server was quite helpful, almost visited the table too many times to check on us (until the end when he disappeared for a bit). The Marinated Tofu Banh Mi was super yummy, as well as the Hanger Steak and White Chocolate Mousse.

★★★★☆ Mikala, Aug 2023

I walked past this place assuming it would be littered with The End Is Near! and Repent Now! brochures and worse: a boozeless menu. I was wrong. As far as I can tell “Rapture” refers to the Gumbo, which was excellent. Nay, sublime. All four beers on the Local Flight I ordered were eminently quaffable.

★★★★★ Brian, Jan 2024

The food was fabulous, wine pairings were smart, and the wait staff was absolutely amazing.
