The drink was good, the food was average. I ordered heirloom tomato and burrata salad, which was good, but fried calamari tasted like old oil, had a bitter taste. Some thoughts to the chef… Service, though, was excellent 👍🏻.

Went here before heading to Pantages Theatre on a Thursday night. Loved the bar, the pizza we ordered and the service was great. Wish there was more seating available (we sat at the bar). Would definitely go here again.
