My friends and I have been coming here for years! Food is always quick, hot, and tasty. Drink menu is huge and I love the nonalcoholic drink options! I love this location because they always have something new to try out! Our server Karenna was great. She was table side when we need anything but also gave us our space. The management here is fabulous! Riley and Amber were very attentive. What made our visit even more memorable were the…brownies, truly the perfect touch. We will continuing coming back!

It was a nice dinner time overall (because of the company!) with some glitches. While the place has a great contemporary ambiance, excellent wine, and super prompt helpful and friendly service, the food was unremarkable. The cabbage side dish had a thick strong sauce that seemed to taste like ground sausage. The scallops were very few and so small that got lost in the lentils melange. Our food tasted like it was rushed, not enough care in its making or presentation.
