    The flatbread was very salty and the meat was not tasty whatsoever. Won’t return.

    We love this place. Whoever the guitar player was tonight, don’t lose this guy he was outstanding. Song selection was spot on. Really enjoyed it. Service was a 5, waitress was on top of every aspect. The one and only thing that brought the score down was the ribs. If the chef doesn’t do BBQ, then take ribs off the menu. The meat should fall off the bone. These were terrible. Tough, chewy , maybe undercooked. To their credit they took it off the bill so well handled. This restaurant has the best vibe north of Boston and we will be back soon.
