Yvette was amazing and the dj was a nice touch. Food was delicious. We had the Short rib and avocado toast. The spicy bloody Mary is serious and includes a fresh jalapeno slice, as it should. Can't suggest enough.

This restaurant was nice, it's in a good location despite the construction. The staff was friendly and the menu was cool. The wine was cold and refreshing we selected a house Moscato. I would visit this restaurant again!

Good ambiance; the two entrees we ordered (scallops and bolognese) were very rich for our liking; caesar salad was very good; there is no kids menu, so not a great option unless you’re okay spending $20+ on meals for kids under 10. Lastly, our server never checked on us after we got our food, which capped off a mediocre dining experience.
