Wow. Just wow. Awesome setting. Delicious food. Creative cocktails. Everything hit perfect. Four different meals all met with rave reviews and the appetizer (Spicy Tuna Crispies) was great. The smashburger might be the best I've ever had. Cauliflower entree was massive and tasty. Chicken was amazing and the Sea Bass (substitute for the snapper) was also a huge hit.

We started our evening with a cocktail and appetizer on the rooftop bar, The Verdict—such a fun and scenic way to kick off the night. After enjoying the view, we headed downstairs to The Courtroom for dinner. The vibe was inviting, and we decided to keep things light by sharing a few small plates.
Here’s what we ordered:
Crispy Calamari: The batter had a flavor reminiscent of a really good onion ring—super crispy and flavorful. The fried peppers were a great addition, and the tartar sauce, with its fresh dill notes, tied everything together perfectly.
Caesar Salad: Light, crisp, and topped with crunchy breadcrumbs for a great texture. A solid summer salad.
Roasted Beet: Our favorite of the night! The beets were beautifully paired with fresh strawberries, which really enhanced their natural sweetness.
Shepard's Pie Turnovers: The crust was golden and flaky, and the lamb inside was seasoned to perfection. The dill gave it a unique and refreshing twist.
Overall, a great dining experience with standout flavors, a relaxed atmosphere, and an impressive rooftop to start (or end!) your night. Can’t wait to go back.

Had a wonderful dinner here tonight. From beginning to end the staff greeted us and was very attentive. For apps we had the beet salad and maple whiskey chicken bites. Definitely good portions and they were very tasty. The steak frites was nicely done.

Tucked on the second level of the Abner hotel this restaurant is a hidden gem. Comfy unique atmosphere. Amazing service. Cocktails and mocktails were delicious. The food was amazing we might go back again tonight. Get the house rolls and the side of mac n cheese. Only regret is we didn't stay for dessert.
