    The menu offerings basically all included red meat/pork of some kind and the ones that didn’t did not look appealing at all. So we ended up just getting soup and salad and those were just OK and even our dry cocktails were not that great.

    Great food and drinks as always. Our server Gabriel was excellent. Love that there is a new weekly small plate, chef’s special and fish dish to keep the menu choices interesting.
