The cozy atmosphere and attentive staff make it perfect for special occasions. While some find the prices high, the memorable flavors and ambiance are well worth it.

The only area that I think needs improvement would be the transparency of beverages or a listing of what beverages is available.

They were distracted the day we went and sat us at a table that no one claimed. Our server when they got there was nice but had too many tables to care for. They overcharged us and served some of the food incorrectly. The food was good, most of it but I think the distractions got the best of them.
PloughResponded on 4 November 2024
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the distractions and the service issues you encountered during your visit. It’s disappointing to hear that your table was overlooked and that there were mistakes with your order. We appreciate your understanding that sometimes things don’t go as planned, but we strive for better. We're glad to hear you enjoyed most of the food, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother experience in the future. Thank you for your feedback!

Food was fabulous and our server, Jenny, was outstanding! They treated us to desert when they found out it was our anniversary and you must try the affogato if you go! Will definitely be back!

We went in and wanted an early dinner. We started with the Tuna Tataki appetizer which was very good. we then ordered two identical cheeseburger platters. One came without pickles. The other came without bacon. We asked the waitress for help and she said they would redo it and my wife said she wanted to hang onto hers, but she grabbed them both and took them away. They came out with the burgers with correct accompaniments but they were lukewarm and the fries were cold. If that was the case, they should’ve redone the entire dinner. The manager, the dining room came over and brought us some hot fries. They should’ve done more. We won’t be back.
