Service was impeccable. Food is amazing. This is the second time in two weeks that I’ve been there and I will continue to go back until I try everything on the menu. I highly recommend the charcoal, grilled ribeye, the octopus, absolutely everything.

Always a solid choice here in Fairfield. It’s definitely the “special dinner” option, but don’t sleep on grabbing lunch at the bar.

Love this restaurant. Bartender was helpful and knowledgeable when I was trying to choose a special drink. The menu is clearly marked for gluten free items which makes ordering my meal easy to choose and comforting to know that I won’t be sick afterwards. The staff is friendly and pleasant. 💙
