    Thank you to Holden and the team for a great dinner! We returned two years later with a large group after a great dining experience years ago, and plan to come back again! Food, service, ambiance were fab. Highly recommend!

    The food and ambience is always good. They have a wonderful variety. However, both of us plus our wives worked in restaurants in our previous lives and old plates or glasses were left around pretty consistently. They could have been more on top of that and we waiting a while for appetizers and then got our food almost right after with them being maybe half finished.

    Service was awful! Waited 20 minutes for anyone to come to our table, and it was the lovely but overworked server from the adjacent area. Only saw our actual server once, no apologies, and waited an agonizingly long time for everything.

    My girlfriends and I really enjoyed the tasty flatbreads and salads. Brussel Sprouts are a MUST! Our server was very attentive and made some yummy suggestions. We will definitely be back.

    Service acceptable, food delicious, very, very loud. The musicians are disproportionately loud, stifling conversation.
