    This was our first time there after driving by saying I need to try that place for years. It was fantastic- the bourbon glazed salmon was amazing- salmon cooked perfectly- their French fries were also amazing- potato wedge style crispy - delicious. Live music was really great and not too overwhelming. It was busy so I do recommend a reservation. I Definitely plan on coming back!
