    First time at the restaurant and we will definitely be back. Everyone from the gentlemen at the valet, our waiter, the other servers to the owners were friendly and professional. Service was great. We started with a round of drinks, that were very good and came with small lights in them. Very nice touch. The food we ordered, the Tripe special, Tandoori Salmon, the Seared Bronzino, and the Lamb Ragu were wonderful. Everyone at our table was very happy with their meal. The apple beignet dessert was also a table favorite. There was a fire burning outside, which was a nice touch while waiting for your car. We also enjoyed the music playing. Overall a wonderful night out. Thank you!

    Bartender made me an old fashioned. Didn’t even mix the bitters w the rye whiskey. Just poured the bitters and put a cherry in it. Not ok. Bartenders need in services to get it right. The pasta. We ordered spaghetti. They served fusilli. Waiter swore it was spaghetti. I spoke to the general manager he stated I’m right. There is no spaghetti on the menu only fusili. Otherwise the restaurant has a great environment. Great sports tv Channels. Any issue speak to Russell.

    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.
