    Great customer service. Delicious food. The pork chop was so tender it could be cut with a butter knife. Chef created a vegan option for our party as well. Everyone working there was welcoming and engaging. We will be back and will recommend to friends.

    The food was very good. Cocktails were good but way overpriced. Ambiance was good as well. Its listed on open table as '$$' for what you expect to pay. It needs to be listed at '$$$'. The food is great but i dont think it was worth the $180 we spent. I will say the cocktails are $15 each. French onion soup was the best ive had in a long while. The wait person was nice but not very attentive. If you have money to blow, then by all means go for it. But when i know i will be spending $200 for 2 peeps, i need better service and better cocktails.
