"Hostesses were terrific and helpful in accommodating our group, which ended up being 9 people, even though our reservation was only for 8. The food was excellent. We had a great experience."

"Food was excellent. Service was decent but could have been better (they took almost 45 minutes to bring my friend a glass of white wine bc they were "chilling it", meanwhile we had already finished a bottle of red). Good for groups who want to socialize with some drinks and lite bites."

"We went here for my brother's birthday party. The food was excellent. Just the right mix of unique but not too foodie. The service was spot on--and we had a party of six on a Friday night. I'm pretty critical of restaurants b/c I eat out almost every day, but I give this place two thumbs up."
