Great vibe and excellent service. The food was interchangeable with every other small plate place in town - good enough but not interesting. The service and ambiance was really great. Will definitely come back for a drink and an appetizer.

Everything was great! Our server was awesome. Glad this place was on Opentable- from out of town and unfamiliar with the area. Great booze selection!
