Reservations were easy to make on Open Table, thank you to the hostess that was able to push back reservations back by 30 minutes when I called last week. It made the day stress free. Easy parking. very cosmopolitan interior and non pretentious high quality drinks and food. I hate Caesar salad, but loved this one. Lambchops very tasty. Bacon appetizer was a great delicious table add on. Ice cream slider and frosty cheesecake so worth the calories. Managers Josh and Bechir came to check on each and every table. Charlene, our server, kept the food and drinks flowing without us feeling rushed, followed up with us without hovering...just made our experience even better.

Great place good food and service just doing the winter months a little cold inside maybe better heat management would help a great deal. So maybe the hot soup offer would not jump out at you as much and the first thing to order on the menu.
