    Our experience exceeded our expectations. The food was exceptional, the cocktails were perfect and the entire wait staff were attentive and responsive. Anyone walking by would clear plates and glasses. Our wait staff, Chuck, was exceptional as well. Chuck made some strong recommendations that were perfect for our palate for food and cocktails. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable.

    Excellent food - We will definitely go back. So many things on the menu I want to try. There were 6 of us and we all loved the food. Cauliflower bites, potato skewer thing with parmesan (forget what it is called on menu), fish sandwich, teriyaki tofu all excellent. We were there during Blink so it was a very hectic evening for all, but the staff handled it well.
