The food is 11/10 - this was our second visit and we will definitely be back!! The service is good, not great; our server disappeared for a while after bringing dessert and coffee, so we had to wait a bit to get our bill. Also the hostess is not friendly at all, and openly rude to coworkers in front of guests - not a great arrival experience. Overall however, this is definitely a favorite spot, and one I will come from Downtown to visit!

We wanted to try this spot because we heard the happy hour was unreal and it was! Hands down the best happy hour we have ever had! $1.50 oysters and $6 glasses of wine and $8 feature cocktails were amazing! The menu items are also a hit at $12 each! You must try it here if you like a stellar happy hour!
