    We were recommended by friends who go at least once a week! Well, now we know why!! The food, service and the bartender are a 10 out of 10!! The drinks were spectacular. Patrick is an artist behind the bar! I ordered the burger and it was incredible. One of us had the steak and it was cooked to perfection. We'll be back! Maybe once a week!!

    The bar tenders were rude. It was busy because of a local concert, so we waited longer for our food. I ordered the tagliatelle and was served the rigatoni.

    Food and presentation is amazing as always .. but sat at table less thank 12 inches away from server window which was annoying. Light from inside kitchen was shining directly in my eyes the entire time. When I’m spending over $200 for dinner, I’d like to be seated at a nice table. Going forward I would make sure I’m not sitting here.
