   Great!!! service, creative menu, awesome beers. My complaint is the NOISE level. I requested a quiet table and we were seated in the corner, which was great. I was trying to catch up with an old friend over dinner. But soon after we were seated, live music started, and the noise level was EXTREME. I was 6 inches from my friend and could not hear him or have a conversation. I think that they should probably let people know in advance that there will be LOUD live music. The musician was very talented but the overall experience was stressful and unpleasant.

   We went on a Friday night, and they had a live jazz band-style of music playing, which made it difficult to talk and hear the staff. But overall, the food was delicious. We started off with the Shanghai wings, which had a nice Asian flavor. Then I had their rotating chicken sandwich, which was the Nacho Libre. This was a lightly breaded chicken thigh topped with pickled onions, romaine lettuce, and a unique cilantro pesto spread on a toasted brioche bun. Lots of flavor! Also, don’t pass on their truffle or garlic Parmesan fries. If you like to enjoy craft adult beverages, they had over 60+ craft beers to choose from, and all reasonably priced.

   We sampled a couple of items on the menu and they were all great. The service was amazing and our drinks arrived just seconds after we ordered them by a different wait person.

   Fantastic food! Great service, live music was a little too loud. Patio seating was quieter, but still had street noise. The food more than made up for that though.

   We loved the food and the service. The music was REALLY loud both nights that we ate here (two Thursday nights in a row). It would have been nice to talk without yelling, but overall the food was good and the service was really excellent.

   The food here was very nice. Our server was just wonderful. The live music was HORRENDOUS. The gentleman playing was talented, but it was SO loud, we were shouting at one another, and shouting at our server. Our server commented on how this goes on for HOURS and they get a hoarse voice. They even asked the manager if the speakers could be turned down and they said no. If we had not been too tired and too hungry, we would have gone somewhere else. Not really a place to enjoy an evening and catch up with your loved ones, unless you know sign language.
