    Food is delicious and fairly priced. Quite noisy today, but I’d asked for a booth and it was much quieter. Service was a bit slow at times, but overall a very good experience. The bacon quiche and mushroom soup were both excellent.

    I always love to sit in the bar as it is more intimate and there is probably a ball game on. I just love the mix between casual intention, professional atmosphere and excellent quality. Our bartender was phenomenal. With a memory like a steel trap she made quick work of our order and the chef did an amazing job with the food. Always our go to for us on Fridays. Love the open table app to help us in advance. Larry Keiter

    Oso Bucco doesn’t appear on a menu very often so when it does it should be ordered. Tasty and tender over polenta and fresh beans, a true culinary delight. The server was exceptional in manner and attentiveness. Overall a wonderful experience.

    Everything was outstanding! But the bread should have stayed in the oven a bit longer. It was still doughy on the inside. Service was fantastic!
