    The risotto was the only food that did not get good reviews. The two people that had it said it was bland. Other than that—everything was very good. Our waitress was great!

    A cute eclectic space. Very friendly staff. Some really fun and good cocktails. The food ranged from excellent to good. There was nothing bad. Some dishes were just better than others. The person with us who had lamb said it was excellent as was the meatloaf. Crab cakes are average. Probably better off just having them at a seafood restaurant. The space is small and intimate but surprisingly noisy. Overall, I would recommend it.

    The service was quite slow, and please note that if you want to bring a birthday cake, they will charge you $3/person to cut and serve it, without mentioning it. that is after we asked the staff if they’d like to keep half of the $25 cake to share amongst the people working, and they said yes, that would be great. It feels like one or the other to me. Keep the cake and waive the fee, or say no thanks and return the cake. We had to request them to waive the fee then sit there and listen to them tell us why they won’t waive the fee in the future.
