    Slow night due to weather. Arrived at 7 and sat quickly. Brussels sprouts are a favorite for an appetizer! We had the chicken sliders and the salmon, Delicious! Skip desert but Malbec wine was spot on as was the Assistant Manager NA Beer. Thanks to the kitchen and staff for a nice night out.

    The food, service and ambiance were all great! Everyone was so nice. The only problem was that it was very cold at our table by a window and I was wearing a turtle neck and over-shirt.

    We went before a hockey game and were pleasantly greeted and promptly seated. Nicely decorated with a pleasant ambiance. Casey, our incredible server, came over right away and told us about the great happy hour specials, including many menu items at 50% off as well as cocktails and wine. Casey gave us many good suggestions and brought out our food in a timing and logical manner. She checked on us several times and we never felt rushed. Good food at reasonable prices with a great server. Highly recommend!
