    We used to go there all the time and stopped going about 8-9 months ago. Last time we were there the bartender was rude…. So we stopped going. We decided to give it another try, the bar area is very nice….and ….We had a great time, cocktails were great and portions were good size and bartenders were exceptional!!!

    Came here for Christmas Eve prix fixe menu and it was very lovely. There was live music, great ambience, and delicious food! I dined with my dad and we had great service the entire night, despite hearing that the restaurant was understaffed for the holidays. Great place to spend for the holiday :)

    Wonderful food. Have been going here for a couple years now and I have loved every single second of it. Staff is always nice and caring, as well as quick with the service. If they had a rewards program for this restaurant I would be the top member!
