    I love sitting outside as it is a great patio and the wait staff is very pleasant. My major complaint is that the cocktails are really skimpy pours and my Manhattan was in a very small glass that was more of an aperitif glass and not a normal sized cocktail glass. Also, for the price, the wine pours are minimal and costly. I can only have 1 drink and I want to get a fair pour. We go out to eat almost every night and most restaurants use regular sized cocktail glasses that are filled almost to the top. Or if the glasses are smaller, they have been filled to the top. Mine was a little more than a 3/4th pour in a very small glass. I have seen reviews on YELP agreeing with my assessment. One person said her drink was gone in 2 gulps. I do like the food but a couple of times I had ordered the honey chicken but some of the pieces were dry and overcooked and when I added chicken to my salad another time, it was too dry.

    The host seated us (as requested) at an outside table where those of us who were hard-of-hearing were very comfortable. Our waitperson was excellent; helpful, friendly, attentive but not too attentive. Food was excellent.

    We ordered tuna and brisket paninis. Tuna was great but brisket was tough. The drinks were also very good. But came after food even though they were ordered way before.

    Hit or miss on where they seat you at very specific times. Some chairs are unbearably uncomfortable. Food is good though.
