Delicious food and drinks in a lively atmosphere with live music. We were promptly met by our server and the food and drinks arrived quickly. Staff was attentive. Recommend chicken empanada starter, blackened salmon with farro entree, and the mac-n-cheese side dish. No room for dessert…

We love to visit 246 on special occasions. Last year we celebrated our wedding anniversary and had a fantastic time. Just yesterday, we celebrated our daughter’s 30th birthday. 246 did not disappoint! We had a lovely evening! The staff was attentive and pleasant! The food was delicious! I wish the tables were a bit larger and that there was more light in the restrooms, but everything else was fabulous!
