The cozy restaurant, adorned with local art and handmade accents, offers a unique bar centerpiece with fine wines and liquors, local draft beers, and daily-rotating specialty cocktails.

    Overpriced. Food was okay but the price is astronomical. $30+ for literally 2 scallops in the plate and $47 for a sea bass full butter.. cocktails are cheap but very watery.. not coming back.
