The food was really good, but the portions a bit small. The ox tail pot pie was so tender and tasty.

We celebrated our 15 year Anniversary last night. Although we were seated at the counter, it was still an amazing experience and we honestly would choose it again. Our bartender Clark was very attentive, very knowledgeable and provided amazing pairing recommendations. The food was to live for and we thoroughly felt like we celebrated 15 years the way it should be celebrated. 1000% highly recommend. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

We are supper diners and we recommend making reservations. They get busy. With reasonable expectations anything you order will be satisfying. I wouldn't say that they are a budget venue, however, fair for what you receive. They always have a chef special for steaks and seafood as well as a catch of the day entee. Their cheese and salumi platter is a great start for 4 guests with cocktails. Hope you enjoy!
