    Olivia, the wonderful lady who waited on our table was an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT! She made the whole night perfect! My only minuses (and they’re very small) is that I felt it was a bit too loud and my chair wasn’t the most comfortable.

    Food was very good, wish they had more dinner menu items vs. sandwiches and burgers for their dinner menu. Favorite was short rib bone marrow. Drinks were good too.

    Server, Tucker, was excellent. We loved the whipped feta toast appetizer. Pork chop was excellent. Not a super diverse menu but nice selections.

    Great service for Valentine’s Day! Good drink selection but the food was fine. The vegetarian lasagna was fine, the beef tartare was quality meat but we weren’t a fan of the flavors.

    Nick was our server and he was great. Food was really good. We enjoyed the pork, salmon, lasagna, and chicken. Everyone really liked their meals. The restaurant is connected to a hotel and to my well traveled friends, it feels like a hotel restaurant. Good or bad, I can't really say what to tell you they mean by that. Hopefully the food can overcome that feeling for them.

    Wildly disappointed. I had heard such amazing reviews. Our service was lack luster. Lobster bisque was so over salted it was inedible. One burger overdone. Other burger not as ordered. Just a bummer of an experience.
