So happy that this place opened on our block! We have had a great time every time we go here- friendly staff, unique cocktails, and the food is absolutely killer. The crudo and the mushroom tacos are Also, very worth pointing out the absolutely daring wine menu. So many places have such boring selections - Sav Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and maybe from Italy or France. But not here! The wines are eclectic and from regions that don’t typically show up often. They are all wonderful and unique and it makes the wine an experience. You must give this place a try!

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had in the city. We went here for a birthday with a small group and it was absolutely perfect. The host was so helpful, the service was exceptional, and the food was amazing. Lots of vegetarian options as well. Can’t wait to visit again soon - easily one of our new favorite spots.

I was told the burger here was really good. Boy did that person lie. The burger here was fantastic, one of the best I’ve had, hands down. The wine selection was great as well, so many good options. An excellent experience, the bar tender was awesome, really enjoyed our dinner here. Will definitely be back again!

All around beautiful meal. Love this space, the people, their amazing food, gorgeous cocktails, excellent beers. Yes, as others have mentioned, do not miss the mushroom tacos. We got a plate of them to share as appetizers.

Went here with my wife and two friends. We had a great experience all around. The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and that was all surrounded by a fun and classy atmosphere. The meatballs are amazing and are an item I’d get every time here. I’m still thinking about them a day later. The mushroom tacos take umami to a new level and will be satisfying for anyone. For the record, a normal serving is 3 but we got 4 to share. The roasted chicken was succulent and the wild sole in papillote was buttery. The cocktails are also a standout. The Best Man’s Speech was classy and made us order a few more. Look forward to going back and bringing others!

I brought my mom to FYC for an early Mother’s Day dinner and it couldn’t have been more lovely. The staff was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in the door making us feel like we were part of their family. The decor is chic and sophisticated, but the warm glow of the lighting makes it feel warm and cozy. And the food... oh my goodness... everything was delicious and eclectic right down to the specially spiced butter that came with the bread at the beginning. Highly recommend. Stop by, they’ll make you feel like you’re part of the family they choose.

We were able to dine with FYC last night on their opening weekend. My wife and I met a friend at the bar before we sat down for dinner. Bret, Xanthus, LJ, and Matt welcomed us warmly, and immediately made us feel like family. I was “trying” their local Pilsner (all night) and the ladies enjoyed their Naomi Campbell cocktail and roses. I had full intentions on eating inside with the awesome 80’s music flowing, but the night was so nice that we decided to dine outside in their back patio- wow! So quiet and romantic- even when it was full. LJ took amazing care of us, telling us about various offerings that he thought that we may be interested in. Ryan, as support, was a stud! We ended up opting for the strawberry salad to start, along with meatballs. Both were amazing. Then we shared their 22oz Bone In Ribeye with Salsa Verde, it was cooked perfectly with amazing flavor. Lastly we decided we should get some more healthy stuff to wash down the steak and ordered the Broccoli Rabe (Xanthus’ suggestion), Hasselback potatoes, and Green Beans with Prosciutto Cracklin. Everything tasted incredible, our compliments to Chef Mona. We ended up finishing our night at the bar- we didn’t want to leave. The place had started to fill up and the vibe was perfect for an adult Saturday night with our new family here at FYC. Highly recommend you stop by and hang out for some drinks. A couple from NC had visited the night before, and they were already back- stating that “this was their new place”. It’s that kind of joint.

This new restaurant is a gem and a great addition to the neighborhood. Everything we ordered was very tasty, and the drinks were well crafted and refreshing. Highly recommend the meatballs, the branzino, the steak tartare, and a personalized cocktail! The staff is very welcoming with positive vibe only. Added bonus, there is a patio in the back. Awesome atmosphere and amazing experience, will be back soon!
