    Great service. Great good. Over priced. But to be expected from an established restaurant as such.

    What killed the night for me was how our server upsold us on wine and when asked to bring wine by the glass was grabbing the most expensive stuff he could get his hands on...felt creepy.

    The food was absolutely terrible. Stale hamburger buns, dry/old meat. The beer list only had some basic american beers (they were out of the more interesting beers). Really disappointed. We won’t be returning.
