    This was our first time for dinner. Had brunch before and loved it. We went on NYE and there were a few families with crying kids. So, good if you are looking for family friendly, bad if you are looking for a quiet romantic spot. Think high end diner with a full bar. My food was better than expected but my husbands was less than expected. Still good, just not as described. Service was great. We will be back!

    Told last minute that they were out of two of their main entrees. Fine...understand that, just wish that the server would have told us when we sat down and not when he came to take our orders. Meals came out, steak was untrimmed, fatty and with no sear. Tasteless. Other meals were not correct, either. Missing the salad that we ordered. No seasoning. Drinks were mediocre. Will not be back.
