Great food and atmosphere with live music! They were a little slower than usual with a forgetful waiter but nothing that ruined the experience

We eat here periodically and always have a good meal. Our waiter, Sean, was AWESOME… great knowledge of the menu including off menu pairings. Right mix of attentiveness and letting us chill.

The food, service & setting of the restaurant were fantastic! We’ll definitely be back again soon. However the live music was so loud we had to yell at each other to hear and couldn’t carry on a conversation. When we and others at tables asked the waiter about it, he just said that it’s always that loud and they’ve had previous complaints.

Drinks were good. Food was not. They were training a chef and our food felt like it was take out from a supermarket. Very disappointed as we used to love going there with our family.

We really enjoyed the elevated comfort food. The mussel appetizer had an excellent and unique broth and the Brussels sprouts tasted of fall. The salmon entree was excellent and also had a fall twist. The halibut special was phenomenal, well prepared and the tapenade sauce played well with fish and pasta. We ordered a pumpkin crème brûlée which continued the elevated fall theme- so good. Our cocktails were excellent also. Our server was exceptional. We haven’t had that care and level of service in years. We will be back.
