Overall food was excellent as usual. Service was also very good. However, the idea that if something unexpected happened and we had to cancel or change we would be charged $80 was absolutely OFFENSIVE and has now moved a place we liked to go to a place I will only reserve if our kids are visiting and request it. There are plenty of other restaurants that are not extortionists in their reservations. VERY UNFORTUNATE for a place that was prior a favorite.

The four of us had the opportunity to dine out here. We would say that the food was very average. Service was spotty and it was very loud. Not sure we would go back.

This place has gone downhill. The lolipop lamb chops were our favorite. There was so much bone and gristle, they were almost inedible. Service was awful. We won’t return.

We love the small plates! Such a wide variety, and good portions for the price. Three of us ate recently for a very reasonable cost. The Spicy Tuna Roll, Eggplant Parmesan, Cajun Shrimp Skewer, Escargot, and Vegetable Tempura were all excellent. We can't wait to return to try some of the others. John was our waiter, and was personable, funny, and extremely attentative. Excellent service with him. A really enjoyable evening.

Food was excellent. So many options. Huge martini and cocktail list. Ladies had the "keg" wine which was very good. We shared several plates which were all very good. Slider burgers were huge. Tuna tartar was yummy and the baby lamb shanks perfect. Also had tacos and a flat bread. Both very good. Service was quick and efficient. Not a lot of down time between plates. We ate at table but bar was packed and hopping. Fun atmosphere. Highly recommend.
