    Salmon quinoa bowl delicious. While it had some greens, would have liked a bit more (I like a green serving nightly). Husband liked lamb burger - suggest options for other rolls besides brioche as brioche contains milk (not good for those with allergy). He got pita instead but couldn’t eat as sandwich given plating. Other party took home half of fish given size! Really good food and service all around.

    It was a very busy night. When we went in, we were greeted by friendly staff and just had to wait a moment to check in as they were taking names for a wait list. With so many waiting, I thought we would have to too, but our table was ready to go and were seated immediately. (Very happy we used Opentable!) Our server was attentive and friendly as well. Drinks and food were delivered quickly. Took a star away because the clam cakes were a bit too salty and the fries were soggy. However, everything thing else was delicious. Overall it's a great place for good food and drinks at an affordable price. We’ll definitely go back.
