    This was our first time to visit , and it will definitely not be the last. We were spoiled when we first entered …..:. Throughout the evening and until departure ….. 2 1/2 hours of an EXPERIENCE….. Steven the Sommelier was very knowledgeable and he had numerous recommendations for pairing with the food we selected and our bottle of wine we started with. …:: the pairing with desert blew us away …. And the valet summoning a driver ….. thanks again. And see you next time when we are in town. Bill Harris

    Basically just came here for drinks after work. My wife and I seemed to be the first to arrive, sat outside and got great attention. The cocktails we had were on point. We also shared the watermelon salad which was very tasty and refreshing on a muggy summer’s day. I’d come back here for drinks and possibly for dinner.

    Good food, fun live music for brunch. Wait staff is very to the point and don't go out of their way to be overly friendly. Personally I really enjoy that, but don't expect too have a conversation with your waiter
