Food and vibe were good, but they were out of half of the drinks we requested and the waitstaff looked and frequently acted like they didn't want to be there.

Great service and great food! The buffalo wings and calamari were excellent. I probably could’ve eaten 3 orders of those wings, definitely recommend. Roasted vegetable rice bowl was very good and my partner enjoyed his steak sandwich with tots as well. Yummy drinks too! Will definitely be back.

We had the potsticker appetizer which came with enough for four to share and were delicious. The soup was outstanding as were the brussel sprouts and the salmon sandwich and Greek salad with chicken was large and good. Our only dislike was the grain bowl which was full of spinach and very little grain. The sweet potato was cold and the dressing didn’t come thru. So with that exception we enjoyed the dinner and it was a quiet corner with a good beer and wine selection.

The space is really nice but really loud to the point that I was really having trouble hearing the person next to me speaking. The food and drinks were okay. The falafel sandwiches were sparce (3 small falafel with a little lettuce and tzaziki) but the Milanese was huge (2 large pieces of chicken). Our server was lovely and attentive and made the experience feel a bit better overall.
