I have lived in Tallahassee for more than 10 years, and every time I passed by this colorful building in Midtown I wondered, but it never went farther than that.

Finally, after receiving a gift card, we decided to give it a try. Our family of 3 (to parents and a kid) was seated outside on the patio. I noticed immediately that this place has a very laid back feel. There was a mix of dressed up people and dressed down folks. Everyone was happy, and the various conversations from the surrounding tables blended into a pleasant background buzz. Once we were seated we were given menus and we proceeded to look over the offerings. I was pleasantly surprised at the menu, very quirky and eclectic. Not many entrees on the list were things you'd see anywhere else. Beans paired with a protein of some sort, local veggies. Every entree had an interesting combination. The only downside I saw to the menu is the lack of kid's items. We ended up ordering the hummus plate for our daughter, because it seemed like the only meal that would be near the amount she'd probably eat.

I ended up ordering a walnut crusted trout paired with beans and potato wedges, topped with aioli. We also ordered an appetizer and a beer. The craft beer menu is decent, but the selection is not as large as I'd hoped. Certainly better than most restaurants.

Once we had placed our order, we ended up waiting around for quite a long time. Don't expect your meal to be quick about coming out. The waitress was very nice, keeping us updated and refilling our drinks as needed. She had a great sense of humor as well, so the waiting wasn't so bad.

Once the food finally came out, it was worth the wait. The portions were ample, the the food was delicious. I was not disappointed.

So overall, I would highly recommend. It's a little spendy, but for a special night, a date, or birthday it's a great place to try. Not as kid friendly as I'd hoped (menuwise), but the environment is certainly family friendly and the wait staff is very friendly and accommodating. If you are looking for something a little different than the normal chicken, fish, or steak with the same old sides, give this place a try. Just don't be in a hurry!
