Food was good, but expensive. Polenta dish had flavor without being overly spicy. The chef worked to ensure no allergies. Service was good, food came out very timely and was good temperature. Calamari a bit chewy. Drinks were so expensive, didn't realize needed to ask how much an old fashioned was - $19. Guessing having it smoked spiked the cost - they should have told me. Would return if around there but nothing made it exceptional - would ask costs on everything before order.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the food and service but understand your concerns about pricing. Our smoked Old Fashioned does have a higher cost due to the process and ingredients, but we’ll work on making that clearer. We appreciate your input on the calamari as well and will share it with our team. Hope to see you again if you're in the area!

Sidney the server was very good. The lamb chops were over done and burnt. I asked for medium rare. The salmon was not cooked right. The rice and asparagus were cold. Not going back.
