    Good dining experience for our group of 7 last night. Just felt tight being in the middle table on the upper floor - especially having to sit back-to-back with a bug fellow. Our server was fantastic and super attentive to our needs.

    Server Rowan was outstanding. Took great care of us. This was a welcome respite from the heavy traffic on my commute off the Northshore. Happy Hour snacks were great and consistent as usual. We'll be back !
