    The entrees for my wife and I were great. I had the mango fish tacos and she had the fig chicken. We ordered shushito peppers as an app and they were a bit too spicy for us. They have live music on the weekends.

    This is so close to me and i will never return. For 16 dollars i ordered a cucumber mint refresher. They told me the black particles floating in my drink were Mint. My partner ordered a 30 dollar martini flight which was served in plastic and absolutely not drinkable. The food was not good. The fig chicken was covered in fig sauce over a measly piece of burnt chicken. I asked for my burger medium, which was brought out well done beyond belief. Fries soggy. Just an overall bad experience. I see why this place has switched hands so many times. The only positive, were the servers were very nice

    We haven’t been here in a while….very happy we decided to go back! Everything was very good. We had Calamari with chipotle, mayo, hangar steak, veal voldastano & the pork chop special. Ever easy cooked perfectly and the meat was so tender. Brought leftovers home for lunches the next day..

    My only complaint (& reason for a four star rating, instead of five stars) was the ambiance and noise level. The ambiance is what it is. However, the noise level was high which was surprising given it wasn’t that crowded. That being said we were given the table (for 5) right as you walked in, in the bar. I was shocked that it was more of a bar scene than restaurant as I had googled “brunch”. (As it was our family’s tradition for a Palm Sunday brunch, I was embarrassed that it was more of a bar scene than a restaurant.) Perhaps it should be listed - or mentioned in the description - as a gastro-pub. As we were leaving, a family with two small children entered and I could tell by their reaction it was not what they expected either - to have lunch in a bar with their two small children.
