    Dined on a Thursday, early dinner. Quiet with a great ambiance. Sat at the bar. Service was on point. Very attentive and knowledgeable. Great Happy Hour. Skirt Steak shareable was so fire we had to order it twice. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!

    Food was excellent. The service was a bit lacking. Would still return maybe not on a Sunday night with the kitchen closing soon after we arrived.

    I sit at the bar because it’s a great place to get great service and usually the bar tenders usually care about the customers and have knowledge of the food. Can’t say this was the case Sadly!!!! I have been there a few times and twice the bartenders acted like they didn’t care that we were there!!

    Our wine was filled with sediment at the bottom (like a lot) and when mentioned to the waitress she just fought h back an excuse and didn’t even offer a new glass. Then came back and asked if we wanted dessert menus when our food hadn’t even come out yet. The people that sat next to us after we arrived were served quickly so she clearly forgot to put our order in and didn’t apologize or provide an ETA. Took nearly an hour to get our food from the time we ordered. Still no apology from her. Then the cheese sub I asked for on my salad was not provided and when I had to ask her again she brought out a different cheese than I asked for. When the bill came I had to tell her to remove the wine before she even offered. Not good service even for a casual restaurant and these prices were up there. Will not be going back and will not recommend to anyone.
