Food was good. Would’ve expected more reliable sourcing for the price. More grass fed beef, Kerrygold butter, better quality salt, etc. Great variety on the menu though. If I weren’t trying to eat better quality ingredients, there would be several tasty options.

We had a wonderful experience. The cocktails were so good and fitting for the holiday season. Our meals were excellent (chicken avocado salad and the turkey French dip). We also had the brie toast appetizer along with a side of the spicy rice. Everything was delicious. The service was very attentive but not over the top, thanks Leanna. We will dine there again.
