Our waiter made terrific recommendations and our dinner was excellent. I picked the spot to take my boss from NYC and a colleague. We had the tuna appetizer and bang bang shrimp to share then had meatloaf, short ribs and I had the salmon with mushroom risotto. All of us enjoyed it and were impressed. And the salmon was the best salmon dish I have ever had. Seasoned perfectly and cooked just right for me (medium). I can’t wait to go back and have a lunch reservation for next week! Another visitor to impress from the office -this time London.

Delicious food! Great place to eat for groups. The location is great, and atmosphere was fun. Our waiter did an excellent job as well. Try the spinach dip for an app, the steak, or the scallops, and definitely give the brussel sprouts a go. Everyone at our table cleared their plates!
