    Bartender super friendly and made excellent drinks! Love that they use large cubes so drink Does not dilute quickly. Truffle Artichoke appetizer was amazing. Pasta was served hot and flavorful. Burger was good but not overly flavorful. Fries crispy.

    Everything was delightful! Wonderful and attentive server, Kayla - awesome! The food was outstanding - beautifully prepared and presented. Drinks were excellent! Love the ambiance and added perk was the holiday decor which made the space even more welcoming. We had several noisy tables around us which was a little disappointing for our table. Overall, however, a great experience and wonderful vibe.

    From the time we entered the restaurant until the end of the dinner we had an enjoyable experience. The food was excellent and our waitress was spot on. Our waitress was aware that we had show tickets and made sure we were served in a respectful manner without us feeling rushed.

    Great food and atmosphere for a cozy date night! Had the salmon and my husband had the spicy vodka pasta. Both were delish! The carrot cake is also a must! Great dinner all around!
