    Food ordered: Hummus appetizer, soup du jor (tomato basil), ocean risotto (shrimp, mussels, white fish, tomatoes, asparagus), braised short ribs (brown butter carrot puree and asparagus), chocolate pot de creme. Drinks ordered: old fashioned, purple people drinker, espresso martini. All categories checked “excellent” with this experience. Noise level progressed throughout the evening but did not diminish the quality of our evening.

    Grace waited on us and was excellent. She went over all the specials and answered any menu questions that we had about specific entree items. The vibe was fun and lots of sports in the TVs. Wanted to add - Bathrooms were extremely clean. We will be back! Oh, the twin hostess were super sweet and changed my reservation up 30 minutes because we got there early. They are super nice and friendly.

    Great place for families and dogs. Food was fantastic. Community beer was good. However, the whiskey was rather lackluster. But absolutely suggest this place for a family and friends to get together and enjoy your beer for a few hours.
