The food was great, and the atmosphere was very nice. The server took good care of us. We originally had bar seating and they were able to move us to the dining area where it’s not as loud. We had a great time.

The food was delicious. Loved the coleslaw and fries. The fried chicken could have been crispier but it was moist and tasty. I get that it's New Year's Day and they were short staffed. We were patient and polite with the staff but I'd never return on a holiday. It was not a welcoming "we're glad you're here" kind of day.

Our first time here and definitely worth the trip from Fairfield. Server Holly was great, we followed her recommendations on wine and food and she was spot on. Especially loved the mushroom risotto. The jazz combo was perfect, added a great vibe without disrupting table conversation. Can't wait to go back.
