    Griffin was so helpful and recommended wine pairings and courses for us to try. He was very knowledgeable about the wines and answered all our questions. He wrote us a personal note congratulating us on our anniversary and engagement and really made the whole night very special. The food was very tasty and well worth the price. We both left stuffed and happy! Thanks for ringing in this new chapter with us.

    First off, we were running 20 minutes behind for our 8pm Saturday reservation. About 7:50, when it was clear our dinner was progressing far too slowly, I messaged the bar through this app. They responded and were AOK with our running late. We really appreciated their flexibility, especially on a Saturday night. Anyhow, on to the drinks and small bites that were part of the “playlist” experience. 4 creative and well executed cocktails perfectly paired. They accommodated our pescatarianism and a nut allergy no questions asked. Small space and they seem to pretty much operate on a reservation only basis. Cool Unisonian interior decor. Great music (a mix of the Roots, OutKast, and some 70s disco). Staff was awesome. Each was friendly and professional and good at what they do. We’ll be back.

    The experienced staff guided to winning choices for our meal. Excellent service meant we never waited long for a course but never felt rushed. We weren’t ignored once a course arrived, but there was no hovering over our table either. Finished dishes were cleared when all diners had finished and fresh silverware brought for each course. It’s these little touches that will make repeat customers of us!

    The lobster dish was amazing! So tasty and prepared well. One of the best lobster dishes hands down. The oyster appetizer was pretty good. Their bread appetizer wasn't all that it was chalked up to be. The crab appetizer was also pretty good.
