    Always one of our favorite stops. Stephen our server is efficient and charming as was Josh and sommelier Bryan. The kitchen produces stunning and delicious plates. Salmon crudo, mussels and steak tartare are the best. Thank you all!

    Wanted to love this place and maybe an off night, but the service for a Tuesday night was abysmal. I was embarrassed with inviting an out of town guest. Probably will not return.

    We’ve been coming to this restaurant for many years but unfortunately the food and service have gone downhill. The food was mediocre at best and the service was truly terrible. Suffice it to say we won’t be coming back. Do not recommend.
