    First time here. Very pleasantly surprised!!! Menu variety was nice, food was delicious. Our table ordered the Filet, Pork Tenderloin , Halibut, and the Rack of Lamb. All were delicious and well portioned. We also ordered the gnocchi and tuna appetizers which were very tasty . I Had a great drink that was served with a bubble that popped and smoke billowed around the glass, the sweet fruit scent that filled the air was fun! We'll definitely be back.

    Food and service was very good. Fantastic bourbon and whiskey selection. Room felt very tight and congested with many tables in a small room; noise level was pretty high as a result.

    I had the octopus salad, but it was very salty and not like it used to be. The onion rings were not the same either. Our guest had hamburgers and they said they were very good.
