    from the moment we were seated I felt rushed. before we finished eating they were ready to clear our table. There were six empty parking spaces in front of the restaurant blocked by orange cones run by a 'private valet' service. parking in that lot is hard and this issue along with the rushed atmosphere do not make me want to return anytime soon.

    This is a great place to meet up with friends. I love introducing people to this hidden gem. The staff is amazing and attentive without being in your face. I'm gonna miss Spears when I move.

    I ordered the French Onion Soup. It is so tasty. The broth with the two wines is savory and the crunchy bread with melted cheese gives it a great texture. I can’t wait to go back and have it again.

    We started with the Brussels Sprouts and they were crispy and excellent! We all had burgers for dinner and they were cooked to perfection! The cotton Candy for dessert was a huge hit for the birthday boy!

    Both the food and the service were quite good. The only real disappointment was the fact that no one from the restaurant read the notes that we had put on the OpenTable booking form. The result was not tragic, but certainly could’ve been better.
