    Food was great but the service was sub-par. We waited 15 minutes before being greeted by server after being sat, 45 minutes for our drinks and an hour for our app(deviled eggs-3). Over 1:30 for food to arrive. The deviled eggs were good but the portion was 3 which is 1.5 eggs. Very small and doesn’t make sense. Food was great but was ruined by the long wait

    It is a nice place to enjoy a cocktail, a bite to eat. They do not rush you out. The menu for brunch is very limited, that would be my only issue.

    This is a fine restaurant, the food and service are exellent. It's a little noisy becasue the tables are crowed too closely. In our case, the management gave our reservation to another party just before we arrived and we had to wait for a table. No matter how nice they were afterwards (free appetizers) the experience really detracted from the dinner.

    We had the pleasure of sitting outside before our PPAC date, John was a pleasure to have help us. We could not recommend him enough, very attentive and gave us such great pointers. My girl got the shrimp pasta and I was sold on the pork medley special, which was and should be a new winter staple of mine!
