    The food and cocktails (the Aunt Kathy) are delicious. Christie was our server twice, she is great at her job, very personable and makes the evening fun!

    I went to celebrate my 39 year old sons birthday with his wife and 2 year old daughter. We had such a fun night. The atmosphere was homey yet exciting and fun. The seafood platter was delicious. The wine selection awesome The steak and fish we ordered and the appetizers delicious. Over all we had a wonderful time !

    Fantastic from the moment I stepped in the door with a friendly greeting and seating by Juliana. It was then further enhanced by the 5 star service provided by Annie throughout the evening. I set things off with the most outstanding Hamachi crudo that I have ever tasted! The flavor profile and melt in your mouth freshness was truly a remarkable food experience. Not to be outdone their signature bavette steak entree was cooked to perfection and absolutely a delicious cut of meat and accompanied by creamed spinach and pomme puree. I am already looking forward to my next visit!!

    The food was delicious, but the service could have been better. Also, we were sitting in the bar area and I kept getting bumped.

    We had a reservation but went early for drinks outside and ended up staying and eating dinner at the bar- ambience, service, and food were outstanding!

    First time at establishment and was very impressed with the decor. All the help were very friendly and professional. The bar is VERY nice and the drinks were tasty. Dinner was very good we had a small issue of a burger undercooked but was immediately taken care of and manager comped a drink which was unexpected. The only thing I would like to see change is the martini glass be bigger and the pour for an old fashion was light in these type of establishments that’s what I usually expect for the price point. I will definitely return and recommend.

    First time there and it won’t be last! It was a great experience- from the cocktails to dessert it was delicious. My husband said the lamb chops were some of the best he’s ever had! Christie took care of us, she was knowledgeable and really so nice! Love the decor and the atmosphere - can’t wait to return.

    Food for the most part ok. My entree (which was a special) came out barely warm. Waitress came & took our drink order, but failed to alert us to 2 dishes on the menu which they did not have this night. Seated at booth in bar where band was playing so noise level was awful. Sorry, for those prices not worth going back.
