    Great entrees. We had the chicken and chop salad and loved both of them. Dining room was quite loud. Had to wait quite awhile for waitress to bring the bill and charge receipt. We reserved to sit outside and kept waiting for table before us to leave. Bunch of young women finished with dinner and just looking at their phones. Seems like the restaurant could tell the customers we have another party waiting for this table and move them along.

    Done done done, second time here and gave them a second try but done. First I arrived prior to Happy Hour being over but by the time we were seated it was 6:11, I told them the facts and the manager said let me go check to see what time you got here, like I’m lying, so I started getting frustrated so he honored happy hour. Had Halibut on Monday but it was dry so came back for the short ribs which they said fall off the bone, not, they were tough and the sides were not hot asked for more sides and got more cold sides. Great location, nice ambiance but not a place to eat minus the calamari it was really good and the drinks excellent.

    Service was impeccable, drinks were very good, I recommend the calamari with tomatoes, debated between the short ribs or the halibut, chose the halibut, it was just ok left me wishing I had gotten the short ribs. Saw German chocolate cake on the menu, got excited, it was good but should not use the name German chocolate as that indicates multiple layers, sweet coconut in between, etc. I will try this place again with different choices.

    Great food. Busy place so service was slow. This is a great place with great food and creative drinks. It appeared they were a bit overwhelmed tonight.

    I'm not sure why acoustically, but this was the loudest restaurant we've ever eaten at as it seems that everyone there was trying to speak over one another. Server was great, cocktails were good, and food was better than average.

    The food was just OK. We ordered the chicken and it very dry. It tasted as though it was microwaved. The salmon was ok but very salty. The noise was deafening.
