                                          The service was not great and the food mediocre. We were seated by an exit door and were blasted with cold air every time someone used it. It was also very loud, which made it hard to carryon a conversation.

                                          We go here often because it's so dependably good. Super friendly manager and bartender; great wine list; excellent food. Highly recommend it.
