    Great experience, loved the vibe in the restaurant. Food was amazing, highly recommend the arancini. We were mistakenly seated in the incorrect section for Happy Hour, but our server kindly honored the HH specials anyways. Drinks were great, but service could use a bit of improvement. There were long periods of time where we were not checked on/empty glasses were not cleared/water carafe was not refilled. We also felt quite pressured to place an entree order despite indicating that we were going to leisurely enjoy some apps and cocktails (and the restaurant was virtually empty the entire time we were there so we weren't occupying a table that they needed to have turned over asap or anything). Otherwise, highly recommend and we will definitely be returning to try some more of the yummy food options.

    We had the beef and prime rib sliders on the Happy Hour menu and they were cooked perfectly to medium rare. We also had a wedge salad and warm rolls which were soft and fresh. We enjoyed Smokey Old Fashion cocktails. Enjoyable meal in the bar area which is always very cozy.

    Delicious crab cake with a wonderful relish, the salmon was excellent and the shrimp and grits was outstanding! Kai was our server, a very personable young man with an easy smile. We'll ask for his section next time we are there.
