    Nice menu options for a wide variety of palates. Decently priced food but drinks were pricier. Great little spot in midtown. Highly recommend.

    Great little place. It’s tough getting a sit down restaurant in December with a group of people. I made a reservation this time and I’m so glad I did. We had the room to ourselves! The staff were wonderful and the food was good. Easy for anyone to find something to order. Price was affordable. We will definitely return and recommend to anyone. It was a very pleasant experience. So glad I found this place.
