    Explorer - I had lunch here with two friends. We each had a different large salad. I had a Caesar Salad with added chicken. It was very good, not outstanding. The service was excellent, timely, helpful, very courteous, and gracious. We also liked that they have a free parking lot right beside the place and outdoor seating in front in good weather. This is my second time there and yes, I intend to go back.

    Rustic Table NO LONGER USES Open Table. Although they were able to seat us they had no record of the open table reservation.

    Great casual dining spot with pretty upscale menu. The food was consistently good plus, with a particularly excellent lamb shank paired with a recommended red wine that was excellent.

    Great food and service. The Cubano sandwich was the best I have had. My friends all had the hamburger and all commented how happy they were that they were each cooked to order (medium rare) and delicious! The complimentary hot fudge sundae for the birthday guest was a special treat.

    It was a very hot day and the a/c in the restaurant was not working well so the hostess suggested we take an outside table AND she comped our drinks! The service was excellent and food too. Two of us had Mary's chicken....outstanding! The sole was equally as good. We started with heirloom tomato salad at the recommendation of Tony, our waiter, and we were glad we ordered it. For dessert, we shared the chocolate creme brûlée. It was perfect. Highly recommend this neighborhood restaurant.

    Our party was 7 in total and our waiter handled it like a pro. Very friendly. Always had good advise for our selections or choice comparisons. The food was AMAZING! I had the daily special of smoked boneless short rib which was outstanding. My wife had the Sole and she highly recommended it. Drinks were very good as well and the desert was good. Ambiance and service was the best part followed by really good food.

    Really enjoyed the food, but too noisey. Hard to hear as the acoustics are really bad. Loved the cocktails. Just a little too loud!!!
