Throughout the meal, the staff was attentive without being intrusive. When our server picked up that one of party was celebrating a birthday, he provided a special desert for her without our asking. The food was excellent.

Ordered three dips, kale salad and the veggie shindig. More than enough for three people and all was delicious. It was a Monday night, so the bar was mostly empty and not all tables full, but it had a very nice ambiance. Booth seats are padded, the nice music was in the background, so there was muted quality…not loud, which made for a very pleasant experience. No shouting to you dinner companions in order to be heard.
