    We loved the casual, fun atmosphere & the service was great! We thought the food was very good (the burger, the fish, crab cakes, & Brussels.) Prices are on the high end, happy hour pricing helped a bit. overall it’s a great option for casual celebrations or cocktails & appetizers w/friends. We appreciated the delicious complimentary birthday dessert, so thoughtful!
