    Our waiter was lovely. He was friendly and professional. He made excellent suggestions regarding cocktails. The watermelon Marguerita was sublime. We shared Brussels sprouts, fried ravioli and truffle fries to start. All we good . I especially enjoyed the crunch sprouts. My son and husband found the merc burger amazing. The salmon was good a little dry but acceptable. I’m sure we will return

    Where to start. We were seated and left alone for a good 10 minutes. The waitress showed up, brought water & took our order. My husband ordered a drink from the bar, & we ordered 2 appetizers, 2 entrees & 1 side dish. She said she would bring a bread basket. Saw her bring to other tables-not us. We waited & waited & apps came out-they were meh. Still no bar drink. We told her and she was like "oops" It finally showed up-in the wrong type of glass for the drink type. Then dinner finally showed up. Another server brought it. Again food was meh to below average. No side dish was delivered. Our server never came to ask how everything was going. Finally I flagged her down to tell her the side never came. Another 'OOPS". We finished as much as we cared to eat. She then brought the side. I looked at her & said 'we are finished & we no longer want it". No "oops or sorry" Next thing she drops the check off without seeing if we wanted dessert! And no, it was not overly busy. I was looking forward to eating there. The vibe looked fun & the online pictures looked delish. False advertising at its best.

    A nice place for a relaxed brunch. It is crowded around and background noise level was high. That said, we enjoyed conversation at a table. Foods and services are good. It’s apparent waiters pay good attention to the table and accommodated our asks.

    Great spot for dinner! We celebrated our daughter’s birthday with her friends here last night and it was great! Server was great and they accommodated our change in party at the last minute. Food was great too!
