We ate at the bar. Nick, the bartender, was very accommodating! Such a pleasant person. He helped us decide what to order, was always there when we needed him, but never hovered over us. Such a wonderful person. His partner was very kind and accommodating also. We went for our anniversary and could not have asked for a more special evening. It was a night to remember.

My husband was starving and wanted to decide quickly where to eat. This restaurant was ok, but was too overpriced for what it was. It was loud considering there were only three tables being waited on, one with a small child. Usually I am very patient and tolerant of children crying, but not so that night I guess. The appetizer was average. I ordered a $40 pasta entree and it came with SIX small scallops.
