We love this place !! But we would like to see more variety with the entrees - however, we have favorites, so will keep coming back. Ambience is a little lacking - clean but a lot of room for improvement - Service is always excellent - the best anywhere and the food and cocktails are prepared with care and attention to details ! Great wine list as well ;)

Fantastic food. Service was slow to come to the table, bring new silverware, to greet us, to explain the menu. Food was fantastic. For the price and lackluster ambiance (uncomfortable benches and tables with placemats used over and over (ick factor), there are better spots. The mixed drink was spot on.

This was our first time here. Menu selections are great and varied. Had the Korean BBQ meatloaf and it was so good; sweet and spicy and very, very filling. Would definitely have it again. The salmon was also excellent as was the short rib fettucini. We all cleaned out plates . Banana pudding dessert was a winner as well. We particularly liked the pace of the meal; having time to have cocktails without any rush to order. Service was excellent. The only drawback is the noise level. It gets very loud and can interfere a little with conversation. But we will go back.
