    Given it was Thanksgiving day, I do not think the noise was necessarily indicative of a normal dining experience there but will find out the next time we go. The entrees and appetizers were delicious! The desserts were not. Service was wonderful, especially given how busy they were! We are definitely returning.

    I visited with a few friends for Friendsgiving, and the experience was delightful. The food was absolutely delicious, and the seasonal drink menu added a festive and fun touch. The service was outstanding—our waiter was incredibly accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. It's always a pleasure to return to this spot, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

    A stylish gem located in a strip mall. Drinks were imaginiative without being crazy, food was very good, except for the overcooked brussels sprouts. Staff were friendly and attentive.. Looks like a great place to hang out after the theater, if there were a theater nearby.
