    We came here for Christmas Eve and were seated promptly. Our waitress, Lauren, was very good. The food came out at reasonable times until dessert - we waited 45 minutes! Lauren apologized and said it was due to a backup in the kitchen . What I do not understand is that the menu was preset and the desserts should have been plated well in advance. When we left, we heard people complaining that they had reservations and were waiting for over 30 minutes past their reservation time. We enjoyed the atmosphere and food, but the service could have been better. We will definitely come back! I am sure with it being Christmas Eve, the kitchen was backlogged. Hopefully, they get things figured out for next year!

    We came after my daughter’s band concert, around 8ish. I made a reservation just in case and to get my points on OpenTable. We got seated right away at a high top table. Ambiance is nice. There’s a good selection of alcohol from beer, seltzers, wine and other spirits. We all enjoyed our food choices of rigatoni, salmon, spicy shrimp, bbq smoke chicken and impossible burger. I do recommend for family, friends, and work outing.

    Wonderful low key setting for two coupes to dine. Incredible value. Friday night reserve flights- we each had the Jax Cab, blend and then reserve cab, heavy pours, $23.50. The ladies had another flight, while the guys had three Manhattans/OldFashioned’s each. Then two more full glasses for the wives of cab. Along with an appetizer and we each had Chilean Sea Bass. All under $400. Super chill guitarist playing solo acoustic covers of known tunes. Not obtrusive.
