Always absolutely delicious food (We go here often)! I had the striped bass and it was delicious. The service was a little off (a bit too eager, intrusive, and instead of my friend’s beer arriving with the pizza as requested, he had eaten quite a bit of his pizza before the beer arrived). But that wasn’t typical. The service is usually great. Lively ambience but not too loud. We always bring our out of town guests here because it’s so reliably excellent.

Our first visit, definitely not our last, but probably not until the Fall. The entrees seem to fall on the heavier side, more comfort than warm or hot weather choices. Hailey was our server, she was personable and professional, definitely a plus, as was a perfectly mixed Paper Plane. Great pre or post movie spot!

Our go-to place. Food and service are consistently excellent. Would like less background music, but that is minor.
