    Delicious food. Pork shoulder and shepherd’s pie were excellent. The soup was delicious and rich. Together, with the cheddar biscuits, was wonderful. Service was attentive and friendly. The ambience was a bit off. It felt like a dressed up Embassy Suites lounge. We loved the art but I also understand the location in an apartment complex makes this hard. I feel maybe more decor, like plants and larger and brighter art on the walls. Maybe different, less beige, upholstery on the benches. And lighter and more colorful walls could help.

    One of the best restaurants in the valley. 5th time here. Branzino was very good. Chicken was on the dry/overcooked side- unusual because it’s usually excellent. Not bad enough to send back tho. Cocktails need improvement. Overall a very good restaurant and will return.

    Food was fantastic and service was excellent. Cocktails were top notch. Even the music was superb. Classic jazz. The only thing that marked the ambience was a very loud table nearby.

    Great food and service. Chef Susan is there to check on all the tables to make sure the customers are enjoying. NY strip steak absolutely the best; branzino fabulous, pork shoulder very tasty but a little fatty. Must get the cheddar biscuits. Just a fun place with a pleasant vibe.
