Really nice place, food is really good, drinks are made well. Food is a bit pricey, but you are also paying for location. Highly recommend the SBK old fashion.

We went there on a Sat for a late lunch for 5 people. We were seated right away. There were only a.fee other tables there. The waitress brought us 2 water carafes and poured everyone a glass of water except my cousin. She only gave us a few minutes to get situated at the table, and we just started looking at the menu when she came over and asked if we wanted anything to drink. All of us just said water was fine, She asked if we wanted any appetizers, but since we literally just started looking at the menu, we said, "Ummm." Trying to look it over quickly. She seemed really annoyed and just left our table saying, "I'll come back" as she was walking away. She came back again several minutes later, and we placed our order. The food was ok. My sister ordered the Mac & Cheese with broccoli and said it was so bland and didn't even taste like a cheese sause. My cousin said her Red Chile CheeseTots were just ok. My niece had the SB Klub and said it was pretty good. My Grilled Cheese Shorty was yummy, and the fried were cooked well. The best thing was my husband's Strawberry Basil Crepes. Great flavor combo and not too sweet. I will say the waitress seemed annoyed to even be working and wasn't very pleasant. It wasn't even busy. Not worth the price for the ok food and iffy service.

The beef kofta was excellent, and the restaurant's ambiance was delightful. They have a diverse menu that caters to various tastes, and the hummus was exceptionally fresh, enhancing the overall experience.
I would definitely come back with friends again.

Food was delicious and service was very good for our party of 10. We had the wedge salad, beet salad, and med head and all were delicious. Salads are definitely dinner size and can easily be shared. Atmosphere is casual with a good local craft beer selection. Definitely recommend especially if you want something different from CPK and Rubio's which are both nearby.
