Maybe it’s because it was a Sunday but we waited about 20 minutes to be seated even though the restaurant was about 25% full. Once seated, the service was good and four of the five dishes we ordered were very good and reasonably priced. Interesting food combinations but not the place to go to if you want a salad.

The food, as always, was really great and they had gluten free and vegetarian options for those in our party needing it. This visit, our server did not return to our table to check on us until we were almost done eating and we needed water, drink refills, and condiments. Also for happy hour, you have to ask what they offer and they don't share a menu or offer up the deals even if you order the eligible items.
