    Get the trout! Crisp skin and well cooked. Festive spot, lots of big tables celebrating. It’s a fun place. Great for after Paramount show, if you sneak out a bit early as they close at 10.

    Gabriel was a terrific person to help us celebrate date night. Steak was cooked to perfection and we loved the sauted brussel sprouts. And the cocktails were amazing!

    Food was overall just bad. I used to love it here. Our entrees were overcooked and over seasoned. None of us ate our entrees and told them we did not want it to go. It honestly was a waste of money. I am pretty easy going. If it was decent (but not amazing), I would have been happy. Most of the food was so very salty. Service was really good. The cornbread was excellent. Maybe it was a bad day.
