We are currently open seven days a week. Saturday & Sunday we are open with an All Day Menu. Reservations can be made on our website, or through OpenTable.

We hold reservations for a 15 minute grace period. Please call us if you are running late, we will do our best to hold your table but cannot guarantee it.

We always welcome walk-in guests to our bar.

Server actor quickly to see if she could nab for us a dish that was running low—much appreciated. But also disappeared or walked by w/o looking a couple times we needed something. Food superb; could turn down the music just a tad. Patrons seemed to be straining to hear each other

Excellent food and drink. Small but very well curated list of wines by the glass. Great cocktails. Food is consistently prepared with high-quality ingredients and cooked with expertise and care. Atmosphere is lively/energetic but still quiet enough that two middle-age people can easily hear one another talk without shouting. :-) A great evening out.

Always a delight to dine there. A few new offerings were terrific. Short Rib, Pork Chop and Bass were all wonderful.

Salad was good, but too much dressing, for me and in need of pepper. Mushroom pizza was good, but bland. I asked for chili pepper flakes which helped somewhat. The servers were helpful and responsive. .

Music was a bit loud at times - maybe a little less energy would be better

Horrible service. Had a reservation for 4pm for 4 people and was seated at an overly large table for 8 people which was not conducive to conversation. Asked to switch but told our dining time would be restricted at a different table. Waitress was incredibly rude. Made mistakes with our order with no apologies. Ignored us. So disappointed because I had many previously great experiences at this restaurant.
