    Nice restaurant. Tight quarters if you are seated by the food bar. Drinks were excellent. Food was above average. Noisy.

    We had a delightful evening with the help of our server, Mallory. She was knowledgeable, had great suggestions and descriptions of the menu items. She solicited feedback on a newer item, which was great! Always fun to bring someone new to Vestal! It didn’t disappoint !

    Food was good, steak was cooked a bit more than I like it but was tasty. Wait staff are very friendly and helpful. It’s a nice quite a little bit romantic place to take a date. I’d go again.
