A great night out! We had 5:45 reservations at the bar. We arrived 25 minutes early but were promptly seated. It was quite busy already! Our bartender/waiter made us feel welcome immediately. He was knowledgeable about the food and wine and had a great suggestion for a substitute for the Sauvignon Blanc that was not available. My husband made the observation that the staff all looked like they enjoyed their jobs. The food was over the top - perfectly prepared. Not one complaint. The attention to service and food, especially considering the pace at which everyone was working made for a perfect evening.

The food was excellent, everything we ordered was very good. If you want a cocktail off the menu they are good, otherwise stick to water. We went for brunch, ordered coffee which they had. Coffee is below average. We didn’t mind since the food was m very very good.
