The berry salad was excellent. And the fish tacos also yum. Their fries are unique and delicious as well. Excellent kid area upstairs and solid outdoor options outside. Service was fantastic. I loved the Gose so much I got two. Both of my husbands beers were good as well. We will definitely be back.
