    The food presentation mtched the taste. It was our first time here, but it won't be the last. Everything was cooked perfectly. The trout dish was flavorful, and all the ingredients blended well together. The short rib arancini I felt was a little light on short rib but the tste distracted me from the of me. They were the right blend of garlic, cheese and crunchy goodness. But the biggest surprise was the foccacia and ricotta appetizer. so creamy.

    RESTAURANT First time and dined before The Rocket Summer show. I had the steak, perfect cook and hanger/butcher cut is my favorite! Husband had chicken parmesan, also delicious but a steak knife would have been appreciated. Both of us liked our drinks and the tiramisu was one of the best I've had. And it was a great, surprisingly relaxed place to dine before a show. Staff was friendl, but I felt like our waiter was a little absent. But my husband and are also fast eaters. Prices are fair for the quality. VENUE Small but nice venue. Great for an intimate show, which enhanced Mae's unplugged opening set, and this was the best way to experience a soulful artist like Bryce Avery. Venue staff and security was also super nice. Also, we came from Woodstock and loved that the venue was so easy to get to from I-90 and avoid the majority of traffic associated with going to and from the city. Would definitely come back for food and shows.

    This venue is soooo good. Free kids meals from 5-7, $6 kids meals at any time, an escalating happy hour, great chop shop sauces wings and a phenomenal burger. On top of that they had a Mario Kart tournament at the time. Loved it

    It was a bit chilly in upstairs dining area. Service was good but a little slow. Nice place. It was busy so one reason why it was a bit slow on service. Food was wonderful. Went to see the band after and venue is really cool. Will come back. Will tell others about place.
