    We really enjoyed our meal! We ordered the beer cheese fondue for a starter and it was delicious, the sausage that comes with the cheese was out of this world. My only complaint is that we had a ton of cheese left over after dipping the sausage, bread and pears. My husband had a few cocktails that he liked and I tried the zero proof De Nada, it was good but a little bit too salty for my taste. I had the beef stroganoff and my husband ordered the short ribs, both were fantastic. We finished our meal with the bread pudding, which was great. I only wish the pudding itself had a little bit more textural difference. Overall, we were happy with the service that we received and really enjoyed our meal. Would highly recommend!

    Ordered two entrees. One was the gnocchi special. It was delicious. The other was the filet. It was basically a salt lick. Terribly prepared. Wasn’t finished. Noise level was extreme. If one is going to go to dinner and pay $$$ (Yelp price category), then one should at least have nice ambience if one can’t have good food. Service was fine.

    The draft Manhattan was quite good! The signature Chopped Salad was excellent and the halibut was excellent too! We will definitely be back!

    Great food! Awful service. Went in for the first time for restaurant week last night and overall had very poor service. Everything took a long time whether that was getting greeted, drinks, food etc. We had to ask to get our server sent over 3 seperate times in order to get drinks refilled or issues with food fixed. Had a few incorrect food deliveries which happens so not a big deal however there was dishes from the last course consistently left on the table as well as empty glassware. For the price point the service made us bummed out because it made us have a poor overall experience

    Outstanding experience! Can’t believe I have never been here being a native. The service is amazing and food just as good. Had the restaurant week selections of Halibut and the meat loaf. The salad lives up to the hype and their house made cask cocktail (Manhattan) was on point. For sure coming back to this local gem.
