    I had the best night ever. I went to dinner to celebrate my 42nd Birthday (11/24). Our service was amazing. The food was AMAZING 20 out of 10. The drinks were amazing. My favorite drink is the “Woodward”. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend. We also ordered the Smoked Old Fashion, La Vita Sangria and the Viola Lemonade. Every single drink taste good and was strong( Not to strong but will get you there). Whoever the bartender is, they did their big one. I ordered the Chicken Piccata. This food was so good. It was hot, fresh and it had amazing flavor. My friends and I did meet the own of the resturant. He was so sweet and so down to earth and amazing. He took all our pictures. He showed us where the best places were in the restaurant to take photos. He also gave us complimentary “Birthday Shots”. This is one of the best dining experiences I have had in a restaurant in the city in a very long time. I am already making plan to dine again soon. Also, the staff let us know that the holiday drink menu will be released soon. There are a few drinks I must try on that menu as well. . Please make sure you try this restaurant asap.

    The food was great and the staff was nice but the service was not good. Food was late to arrive and it would take 40 minutes to get a drink.

    Chris, our server, was great. The ambiance was very nice. The food was good. We were hoping for a bigger brunch selection, but everything was good.

    The food and experience was Great. Definitely a pretty penny though so be prepared to spend $$$. But it was worth it from the bread, to the salad, Rasta pasta, & wine….top tier I will be sure to come again

    Food was good but over priced. Service was a little slow for dinner. Will go back but only for brunch or lunch.

    The host, our waiter/ bartender and the piano player were all outstanding. Beyond that, very unimpressed. Food was slow and poor. Neither meal was eatable, and it was pricey. Too bad. Used to be a truly great restaurant.

    Excellent service and food. We had a very enjoyable evening. The lights were flickering in the dining area, which was distracting. But the general environment, seating and music, were nice. The wait staff were all excellent.
