    Let's start with the good vibes: Loverly hopping and cozy atmosphere (depending where you sit / stand). Fab bar inside and out . Really great , friendly service who tries their best to make your time enjoyable. And then there is the food and drinks . Loved the Wed. wine half off. Disappointed by their margaritas which were so sour that we asked for a redo with not much more success. Our main dishes were a mixed bag as well. Sadly, their top dish of Filet Mignon was a very tough chew. We stopped eating three bites. The fried chicken was not much better, super dry . Sides were lovely. We mentioned all of this to our waitress. Sadly , no reaction other than the hefty check. We love to come back but may be next time for just whine / beer and very basic food.

    Our waiter was way too pushy about ordering our dinner. It was not a relaxing experience.
