    We were greeted once arrived and reassured our table will be ready in few minutes, then got seated and had attentive service. Drinks were good, apps and main meals were great as well. The only complaint was us sitting next to a very loud party of 4 that made it annoying somewhat but eventually we tuned them out. Cozy place, good food for the value. Definitely will come back and recommend

    Food was delicious and the drinks from the bar were fabulous! I let the staff choose my food - it was delicious and excellent cocktail and wine pairing. The staff were great about coming around to ensure we were well taken care of

    Great vegan options, date night perfection. Portion sizes are very generous. It’s tough to get reservations because this is such a great spot!

    Very small, but quite charming. You are not rushed, food is brought at a nice pace. Food is fresh and delicious, we had the dippers as an appetizer and I highly recommend them, bread is delicious and dips are fresh and very tasty. Staff is very attentive and friendly always with smiles. The only drawback is that we were sat beside a group of 4, and one of the gentlemen was very loud. To the point I couldn't hear my wife at times. The small seating area is quaint but has its drawbacks I guess. I will definitely eat here again and would not hesitate to recommend.

    The food was very good as well as the service and it was an outstanding value overall. More restaurants should look to this establishment for how to do it right!

    Absolutely the best brussel sprouts! The fish cocktail was decedent at first but it got really salty towards the end.
