Loved our server, he’s been with the restaurant 9 years! So very kind and made great suggestions. Food came out fast and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The salted caramel ice cream was so delicious and the rigatoni with eggplant was very good. The portions are very good sized so come hungry.

Delicious food options (went for brunch, mostly ordered from the lunch menu). The steak bites were the table favorite, with Brussels sprouts as runner up. For a birthday, it was the perfect atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

The food is absolutely excellent, from the quality and presentation of the fish, to the appetizers, to the main courses. Additionally, the service is top notch. Very attentive, kind, helpful servers who make sure to get all the diners the food the exact way that the individual wants it. Great drink offerings also. Have yet to go for happy hour but it seems really good (only M-Thurs). Cheers to everything about this place.
