    We went for Valentine’s Day dinner and had delicious food and great service. The music was a bit too loud for a date night atmosphere. Nevertheless, we would absolutely come back for another great meal!

    My cocktail was $18 but very delicious! We did the Lunch pre-fix menu, which was totally worth it! The appetizers were AMAZING!!! The food portions were great, we needed to take our lunch and dessert home. My chicken was a little on the drier side, but the flavor was on point! Would definitely go back and recommend this place to my friends! They are starting brunch service on February 22nd. Our waiter was attentive, but a soft talker.
