    My coworker and I had sat at the bar area and we ordered the calamari as an appetizer which is amazing and I ended up ordering the butternut squash soup which tasted barely like butternut squash and a lot like beef broth and a little bit greasy. I’m not sure if this was just a mistake however, I was really looking forward to the soup - so I would not recommend the butternut squash soup.

    Hostess was helpful and welcoming with getting us a nice table in a crowded restaurant. Service by Angel was very excellent with suggestions on wine and menu preparations. Will return again soon.
