    We like the ambiance of this place as a date night. This was not the first time service was slow for us, from taking our order, to the delivery of food, to picking up the check. Our dinner was tasty. However, we did not care for the fries. I'm guessing it was the fry oil. We will try again, but not soon.

    Food was really good. The beef short rib was delicious. Hands down the best part of the meal. The ambiance was great. Service was ok. The server was kind of just there. Not the level of service I would expect for the price you pay. All and all we would go again. Food and atmosphere worth the trip .

    I had reservations and when we arrived they hostess asked if we wanted to sit at the main area and we said yes. She was told by a staffer at the bar that all the tables were reserved and they sat us in a room that was freezing. I must say they brought a portable heater. Another young waitress stopped by our table and told us that she would be happy to serve us in the main room and was a wonderful service. Food was great but the initial service was awful!
