Great menu and service. All apps and entrees we had, including specials were so yummy. Cocktails were expensive but a good pour. Volume is loud but great energy and atmosphere. Will be back

Guess Our waiter never entered our order. We asked for bread and oil…twice. To have with our cocktails. He apologized after 20 min. and then they brought bread and our meals at the same time.

The lunch-sized portions of dinner menu entrees, coupled with a small simple salad, are perfect for a special lunch experience. All of us ordered different items and everyone was delighted with their choices. Outstanding food, and the ambiance is really really nice.

Very good food. Server was nice but got a couple of requests wrong. Could be because the restaurant is pretty noisy. Would definitely go back.
