My friends and I stumbled upon this place and instantly made a reservation after peaking in. The interior design is simple and very cozy but chic. It was full but not too loud, the bar was stocked full of beer, wine and cocktail options, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive (without being annoying), and the food was great. Nothing was mind-blowing but collectively it all worked and was a great experience.

It was dead at 6PM on a Saturday night. My pinot noir was chilled... Cool space but only stayed for one round of drinks.

The food was excellent. Weird to be charged for each glass of iced tea though as if it was a cocktail. I was also put off by the fact that servers were eating behind their work space in plain view of dining patrons. Whose to say whether they washed their hands before serving our food.

Great atmosphere and decor. Food is not special as I expected. We went on a slow business night, Tuesday, and service was slow.

Our food (dinner) and drinks were great (the cookie we had for dessert was not as good). Services was a little lacking but we think our server may have been new.
