Every single time I have dined there, whether for lunch or dinner or a larger private event, it’s the same. Creative specials, attentive and personable service, proteins consistently cooked exactly right and half-price wine bottles two days per week!! I have definitely paid more for meals that did not meet that standard. I especially love that when they prepare blackened fish, they respect the delicate flavor of the fish instead of making it a contest to blow out your palate with heat. Please just keep doing what you’re doing, and I’ll keep coming back!

Came in at 8 on a Tuesday after my son's graduation and there was one, maybe two tables filled. That's fine. but right next to our table, the employee was using a bromo and dustpan all around us making all this noise and, well, who wants someone cleaning up the floor all around you while you're at a restaurant. I'm sure if the place was full, she would not have been doing this. When we asked her to clean in a different area, she said, "Well, this is my section". Our two non-alcoholic refreshers were terrible. The strawberry one was too sour and the cucumber mint one was way too sweet. I'm guessing the bartender had gone home already by 8 on a Tuesday night. The burrata and brussel sprouts were fine. Nothing to rave about. Our crispy chicken cobb salad was also fine. Presentation was ok. Looked like someone ripped apart the chicken tenders by hand before throwing them on the salad. My kids had the flatbreads and they like them, they looked fine. Oh, and our waitress smelled like smoke. I wouldn't go back.
