I sat at a table outside under an umbrella and it was really nice. Food was delicious and a good value. Service was a little slow but everyone was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.

Very attentive server. Food was very good, but chicken Marsala is more sweet (think maple syrup) than savory. I liked it, but my girlfriend not so much. Id like to see one more decent mid-priced cab on the wine-by-the-glass list. The lower priced one they have isn’t very good and the other is, but it is $19 per glass on the menu (charged $16).

Salmon and asparagus were great. NY strip had good flavor but was chewy. Drinks were good. I had a brown sugar old fashioned. I don't think the table had been wiped off because there were rings of stickiness, but the service was good.
