    I understand the policy about only being able to stay at your table for about 90 min but the last 20 minutes we felt we were being rushed out the door. Kind of soured the night, especially after spending $300.00 for 2 people.

    I had an under cooked pork chop in Parts - over all the flavor was good but it was barely warm. The crab dip and potatoes were delicious

    The atmosphere just has a really cool vibe, so that sets the tone for the rest of the experience. Their cocktail menu is very creative and you can tell that each drink is carefully created. The food has always been very good, with a full pallet of flavor and thoughtfully prepared. The menu is not overwhelming, it’s just right. Lastly, is the service. We were professionally taken care of, and our server knew the menu and the drinks inside and out, and she helped to create a wonderful evening.

    I (John's wife) went in, not sure about the menu. I decided to change up my usual drink and got the Devine Feminine. EXCELLENT choice!! Then for dinner, we shared the potatoes and artichokes, very good, and I had the fish. It was ocean trout, which I'd never heard of, and it's similar to salmon, Again, excellent choice! My husband got the duck breast and was very happy with it. For dessert, we shared the S'mores Cake, yummy!! The ambiance of the place was wonderful. Loved our evening there!
