    Excellent service and ambiance . Cocktail options are all consuming; the bar is fully stocked. Small menu but covers all the bases well. I had a cheeseburger and my husband ordered the meatball sandwich-we split an order of fries. Music is upbeat, and set at “background volume”. Staff is attentive, friendly and engaging. Don’t miss karaoke night -Friday at 8:00!
