Service was good, food came out very timely and was good temperature. Calamari a bit chewy. Drinks were so expensive, didn't realize needed to ask how much an old fashioned was - $19. Guessing having it smoked spiked the cost - they should have told me. Would return if around there but nothing made it exceptional - would ask costs on everything before order.

Our smoked Old Fashioned does have a higher cost due to the process and ingredients, but we’ll work on making that clearer. We appreciate your input on the calamari as well and will share it with our team. Hope to see you again if you're in the area!
