    Service was awesome but menu was small and the food wasn’t very good. I couldn’t even finish my meal, and it was a simple pasta dish.

    Food was good. Our dish was missing the mashed potatoes and with the price of a set dinner for Valentine’s Day was slightly frustrated. Was not expecting a set meal, and with no information of price the bill was quite a shock. However one of the best Old Fashion and Moscow mule we have ever had.

    Loved this place- food was fantastic, service was great! Only issue was with timing- we did an 8pm reservation and when we got there we were told the kitchen was closing in 10 min. That was odd- why allow the reservation time if the kitchen is closing? Anyway, we were able to order before they closed it and everything we got was really great…especially the tater tots and the short rib pasta…mmm…would definitely go there again and have already recommended it to others.

    Food was great. Redfish and salmon. Highly recommend both. Salads and apps were great. Drinks were delicious. Downside. No ambiance to speak of. Bright. Loud. Sports on the TVs. Service was slow in general. Tuff call, go for the food and drink, just not on date night.

    Maybe it was just a bad night but i won’t return. The online menu they don’t seem to have the items actually in the restaurant. Asked for the spring rolls and the spritzer both on the menu and both not available. I was told it has to be old items. Then we ordered appetizers and pizza. Waitress came back after a while and said there was no more pizza available… we were stunned so we ordered appetizers the calamari was fried to a crisp like burnt. Food was lukewarm. Highlights was the steak tartare and the shrimp pasta but I won’t be back. My friends and i were highly disappointed. And the service was subpar.

    Food and ambience was good. Wait and service staff were great. Nothing outstanding that would make me want to go back for a dinner. Lunch may be their sweat spot?
    The NashResponded on January 28, 2025
    We are grateful for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the food and service but are disappointed to hear we wouldn't be a dinner destination, but we hope to see you again sometime for lunch. Please let us know what we can do to get you to give us another chance for dinner.

    This might have been the best lamb chop dinner I've ever had! And with the curry sauce & amazing rice w/ cauliflower, it was just outstanding! Can't wait to go back!!
