        We told the hostess that one of our party had some hearing loss so she sat us in the quieter section. Thank you!

        My dirty martini was perfection with even tiny shards of ice! Our server highly recommended the Braised Short Ribs and the meal was fabulous. We also had the Chicken Parmesan and that is the best we have ever had at any restaurant! Jen our server was attentive without being disruptive. Always seemed to be there when we needed her. 10/10 highly recommended this restaurant.

        Great food and service. We sat at a table in the bar area and it was much quieter than the dining room so conversation was so much easier.
