Excellent place to go if you're looking for a cozy, intimate dining experience. Luxurious, dark blue, velvet bench seating, complete with plenty of comfy throw pillows on one side of our table, very comfortable chair seating on the other side of the table. Beautifully appointed interior, well-stocked bar, fabulous menu items. We went for a birthday celebration and will definitely go back! Our server, Peter, was phenomenal. He went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of, had everything we could need, and then some, and was quick with very good pairing suggestions. Definitely recommend!

Great service and nice ambiance. Apps were very good. Burger was very average and the buffalo chicken salad was sub par. Chicken not very warm and small and strange pieces and sauce was very smoky tasting.
