We ordered the flat bread and the dips were delicious! Their special was short ribs and it was definitely the highlight.

Anika was the best server I have ever had. I’d rather never go to another restaurant again than be served by anyone else. She is a queen, a mentor, a vision. I couldn’t have dreamed up service like this if heaven brought down servers and gave them to me at a nice restaurant. The timing was impeccable and Anika deserves a raise of at least 69% PER YEAR. This feels like it’s almost too much, but it’s not. If i met Anika in a dream, I’d wish it was real life.

We went during happy hour, ordered cocktails followed by a bottle of the Syrah-Grenache. For appetizers we shared pepperoni pizza, fried chicken, hummus with toasted sourdough and beets on a bed of whipped feta. All excellent. PS I wear hearing aids and they accommodated me by putting me us in a quieter area of the restaurant. Much appreciated.
