   Very nice eatery from the front door... Old school books littering around the space, beautiful lighting, exposed brick, warm and inviting...can be loud when full but not overbearing...nice cocktails , very good food..

   The food and ambience were great. However, Waiting an hour for our meal was not so great. I just hope their time management improves cause I’d like to go back!

   My boyfriend and I attended their NYE dinner with another couple and it was great! Food was amazing and drinks were perfect. The place is cozy, great service, and DJ was great. It wasn’t overbooked so everyone had space to dance. Get their scallops!!!!

   Wonderful experience. Our first time visiting this restaurant. Service was excellent. Bison meatballs and baked clams as appetizers were delicious. Rib eye steak and short rib ragu was mouthwatering and cooked to perfection. Desserts were excellent as well. One suggestion - our waitress saw me using my phone for light. She brought me a little lamp. It was wonderful and suggest having at all tables since it was a little dark in some areas of the restaurant. I shared it with the couple at the next table so they could see their dessert. lol! Ambiance is definitely warm and cozy feeling. Good for date nights. But a little loud.

    Fantastic meal and superb service! What a cozy place! And decorated for Christmas, it was so warm and inviting. Everyone had seafood and it was impeccably done. We're an hour away but I would definitely come back again. Thanks so much for a memorable evening!
