Although the food was excellent, the staff seating people were less than pleasant which made the experience not top notch. Our server, in contrast, was wonderful.

Love Monday night specials with wine (good choices). People who had salmon were delighted as was short rib partaker. I did not get what I ordered (something new on menu) but what I got was good (pork chop). They offered to redo but not feasible to be able to eat with other diners.

Mexican Sea Bass was very good. However the beef in the enchilada was fatty, dry and tasteless. No complaint regarding the chicken enchilada. The spirited drinks were very good. The banana cream pie was very good.

Went for happy hour time slot, ordered baked Brie and garlic fries. Dinner was the short rib and steak frites. Food came out quickly, waitress was friendly and provided opinions and made great menu recommendations. Brussels sprouts were delicious, as i subbed my mashed potatoes for them. Portions were generous. Would order the baked Brie again for sure.
