Basque small plate style dining. This place is a foodies delight (great wine too) and offers something for everyone. I recommend sitting on the back patio in warmer weather or grabbing a seat at the cozy MCM style bar in the cooler months.

Southern comfort food at its finest! This place is usually packed; lucky for us, it’s a quick walk to the end of the alley, so take-out is easy peasy! Save room for the coconut pineapple cake. Yum!
