    Fantastic experience all around! Bang bang shrimp appetizer was fantastic, as were the braised short ribs over mushroom risotto with asparagus. Bartender was friendly and on top of things, as was the service once we were seated at our table. Highly recommend!!

    We'd definitely go back here! Mia and Lauren were wonderful servers/greeters and did a great job with helping us celebrate a special birthday. Chef/owner came over to say hello. Food was delicious!!! We all loved it. It wasn't too loud to hear each other. Welcoming atmosphere and could imagine it being a full house of great energy later in the evening. We went on the early side hoping for a quiet spot and it was great. Parking is a bit tricky, but public lot around the corner is available. Fun street to explore. Highly recommend. We'll be back.
