We actually left. The waitress was very sweet but it may have been her first day... Strange debacle with a drink menu that was only available as premixed drinks and seemingly no other options. It took the waitress a few trip to the bar to be maybe sure. It wasn't really working for us for a casual date night so we went elsewhere.

It was a smaller location than I expected, at the end of the bar an unsightly part of the kitchen is exposed which is off putting to see from a couple of tables. Why they have a booth by the toilets separated from the rest of the setting area is baffling. Ambiance 👎The location doesn’t work for the owners idea which is GOOD and on point. HOWEVER the food was EXCELLENT. Tomato bisque soup and grilled cheese sandwich😋, beet salad and freshly grilled Salmon 😋 vegetable primavera, all fresh. 😋

The service was great which is all they really had doing for them. Our server had only been there a week so part of it might have been that. There were apps that were never brought to the table. Everyone’s entrees arrived at all different times. Steak was overcooked. Fries on the steak frites tasted stale and like the oil they were cooked in. Honestly none of the food or the drinks were very good. They were definitely trying but missing.

Food was not great and the sharable items were quite small in portion size.
