    This was a fun new spot for a tasty casual birthday dinner. It’s hard to get good escargot and French onion soup without being pretentious but the smoking goat did a great job! The drinks were tasty and my pork chop was perfectly cooked. It’s a long way for us to come all the way from North County, but it was totally worth it. The neighborhood seen in North Park is just popping! Really good to see such unique flavors and diversity all in one little hood
