Loud and chaotic. Server was very polite but inexperienced- didn’t seem to know what a Guinness was or he couldn’t hear me. Drinks came way after the appetizers arrived. Tuna tartare was very good. The hamburger was mediocre. Didn’t bother with dessert. Probably one and done

Tuna Tartar and the Halibut special were both very good. Mussels were a little overcooked and I have had better. Bar knows how to make a drink. I like Sapphire and tonic with muddled cucumber. Sone places just don’t have a good bartender. This does. Good vibe. Will be back.

Went for Sunday brunch. Food and drinks well made and presented. Specially cocktails a bit on the sweet side for our taste. A magician stopped by the table for a little side show. Valet parking only, unless you want to look for a street spot. Have some $ for tipping driver and magician.
