    Ordered a salad with grilled chicken which was a little dry. I’ll order differently next time but the service and atmosphere here will keep me coming back.

    Love this restaurant. The food is great especially like the stout braised brisket. You are actually able to have conversation which adds to the ambiance. Service is very good and timely.
