Flesh & Buns

Be aware that this place get crowded very early. We went there for a very late lunch or a very early dinner, around 5:45, and therefore had no trouble to find a space for two.

Nice service and yummy buns ;)

Solo traveling, I paid this place a visit hoping that there would be bar seating for me to read. Lucky me, I had both a bar option and a communal table option!
