Pretty small and streamlined menu. Very casual but our food was very good and the service was EXCELLENT. It probably isn't as noisy normally but we were seated in the bar area right next to a live sax player. Are casual dining I would say the food was above average, very fairly priced and we would definitely return.

Excessive wait for food. Two entrees finally arrived warm — two entrees were stone cold. No point in sending anything back as it took over an hour for the food to arrive in the first place. Waitress was very engaging and efficient. Food did not match expectations based on past reviews. See no reason to return.

The ambience and service was excellent. We had the wedge salad, which was very good. Also, the salmon and lobster risotto. Our waitress was terrific.

Great atmosphere in a low-key, stylish dining room. Intimate and not pretentious. Great service, portions and tempo. Would highly recommend for upscale pub experience.
