    My cocktail was $18 but very delicious! We did the Lunch pre-fix menu, which was totally worth it! The appetizers were AMAZING!!! The food portions were great, we needed to take our lunch and dessert home. My chicken was a little on the drier side, but the flavor was on point! Would definitely go back and recommend this place to my friends! They are starting brunch service on February 22nd. Our waiter was attentive, but a soft talker.

    It was very slow when I had lunch here. Staff was very attentive. Food portion were also great. We kept it simple and ordered the skirt sticks, fried calamari as our apps & penne vodka with chicken for our entree. Had leftovers (goes to show the portions can be GREAT). Would definitely come again!
