    Food was fantastic, a little over filled with small tables in front with some more space less used on the side of the building but a good dinner and friendly service.

    Excellent food. Wish I lived locally so i could return frequently. Cocktails are like art. Try one! Wish they could update the interior space, seating was the only negative. Parking is close by.

    We had a great time at the restaurant, the service was great, from the moment we walked in the bartender offer us a drink on the house until our table was ready. The food was delicious, only the bread pudding was bland I prefer it to be sweet. I like the feel and ambience of the restaurant it was good for having intimate conversations with a romantic feeling to it. The staff was amazing they went out the way to trying to accommodate us on the dessert, but since we did eat some of it I was fine with the charge. However, thank you for trying to make up for the dessert. Your efforts meant a lot which shows you care about your patrons.
