We love this place. Whoever the guitar player was tonight, don’t lose this guy he was outstanding. Song selection was spot on. Really enjoyed it. Service was a 5, waitress was on top of every aspect. The one and only thing that brought the score down was the ribs. If the chef doesn’t do BBQ, then take ribs off the menu. The meat should fall off the bone. These were terrible. Tough, chewy , maybe undercooked. To their credit they took it off the bill so well handled. This restaurant has the best vibe north of Boston and we will be back soon.

I waited to try this restaurant because I'd heard mixed reviews when it first opened. I'm so glad I tried it. Overall, the food was excellent, the drinks were excellent, the service was good and very fast. The band playing was very good that night, although it was hard to have a conversation due to the noise level. Overall, we left having had a great experience, most especially because the food was SO good. We will definitely be back!
