The cocktails here are always fantastic, there is a wide selection and the bartenders are knowledgeable and adept at finding one you’ll enjoy. The pizzas are amazing but they have a number of healthier choices too. The Bar One lounge is the perfect combination of whimsical, artsy and moody elegance. It’s an elevated dining experience without being uptight. You can relax and hang out and expect great service.

This was not our first time, but it was our first holiday experience in-doors. My daughter and I frequented during the summer and always ate outside. The food was simply amazing as always, as well as the waitstaff. I have a seafood allergy and my waitress was spectacular in making sure I was taken care of. If you haven’t been, go. You will not be disappointed.
