I'm a big fan of how Hanna and Robert are turning the business model of restauranteering on it's head. Thier ideas are as fresh as their food. I can't wait to experience their brunch!

Got to try the Beer-Batter Fish and Chips and being a New Englander, I've had A LOT of Fish and Chips; I would say that this was hands down my favorite of all time. The batter was crunchy yet fluffy and the hand cut fries were perfectly seasoned! Sadly, I have not had a chance to try the Pies, but that will happen asap! I can't wait to try the other items Chef Rob comes up with?

I’m not sure this place is open anymore and they certainly aren’t doing any weekend brunch. Went on a Saturday at 11 and they were closed. According to google they are only open 3hrs a week, if at all

We have been getting the Friday pre-made meals pretty regularly. Every week it is different and every week is amazing in its own way. The to-go cocktails are also delicious! I loved going here pre-Covid; so it’s great still being able to get amazing food from here to take home Friday evenings.

Absolutely spectacular. Awesome staff.. These 3 Mainer girls will be back again...?

the presentation of the food is outstanding. If you sit at the bar you watch them cook right in front of you. the service is great really friendly people. best brunch around.

Great food and atmosphere!!

Great food. Menu is fresh and new. Interesting offerings for Chinese New Year including mussels in a garlic ginger fish broth, short ribs over rice with bok choy, and Chinese dessert cake. During the rest of the year they offer a variety of food including great apps and taco Tuesdays. Cool bar in the center of the restaurant. Ambiance is chic with romantic lighting and bench seating. Open window onto the kitchen area to see the food being prepared. Great place to have a gathering!

The Staff and the space are lovely and the food & drink are delicious!

We tried RD86 on a whim today and were blown away. Delicious food, great options, and very attentive chef who came out to discuss my special request. Service was fantastic and the new decor was clean, hip and modern. The drinks/beer we tried were really good to. We will definitely go back to try dinner, today we had brunch. Btw, everyone enjoyed the entree they ordered, but my grits were fantastic...definitely rivaled or were better than the grits dishes we had in Charleston last fall.
