The liver mousse was one of the best that we've had. The dinner was expensive for a very modest portion. I sent back the seasonal special, the duck breast, in spite of the staff's strong recommendations. It lacked flavor and the texture was chewy and being served at barely room temp made it inedible!!! The pasta, as a replacement order, was better although the small portion left me wanting more. Lastly, the music choices were very strange and not enjoyable at times when hard rock music was playing..... We would return for the happy hour with Karly for a special occasion only!!

We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed happy hour, Karly’s cocktails, and the liver mousse – we’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to her. We're sorry the duck breast and music choices didn't meet your expectations. Your comments on portion sizes are also valuable to us; please note that our pasta dishes are on the smaller side, as they are meant to be mid-course. We hope to welcome you back for happy hour and to offer a more enjoyable overall experience.
