Wonderful birthday lunch as always. Our favorite place to celebrate. Food was delicious and our server was a delight. I believe his name was Sean and we were in the bar area. He made me the best margarita on the rocks I've ever had. Fabulous all around.

I really enjoyed the Wednesday night special that comes with a complimentary charcuterie spread for a group of 4 or more ladies. The drinks were wonderful and the ambiance was really great. We had the owner as our server and she was so sweet checking in on us to make sure we had what we needed. I loved that we had couches and a private area. It is nice to go somewhere for drinks that has proper seating for catching up. The music was not over powering to where we couldn't hear one another speaking. The front entry is actually an adorable candy shop and there is FREE CANDY! It was an extremely nice treat. Drink prices were fair for the times we are in. Bathroom were cute and each stall had its own sink. Great touch. There was a cute photo opp with the mirrors in the bathroom corridor as well. With a little lighting, it would be amazing! Would absolutely return. Would be a great spot to start being a regular
