My friend had the spicy jack burger and loved it as well. We had made reservations right before a concert at the Chapel and were able to be the first people through the doors. Such a fun night!!

Would pass on the smoked potato wedges (just okay) and the rib and polenta plate was just okay, the polenta was overly seasoned (rare for me to say this since I love cheese, but just had too much!) but the short rib was perfectly cooked! Drinks amazing!

There was a three-guitar ensemble playing, which was lovely. The courtyard was charming and the service was good. The cocktails were outstanding.

My husband had the bbq ribs, which he said were good, too, but was astonished to be told that there was NO BUTTER available for the corn bread. How can that be? Prices were high and the portions seemed pretty small. Our meals were served before the beverages and we had to go looking for our server for the bill so that we could get to the concert on time in spite of our having told him that we had tickets for next door.
