First time and I was really pleased with our meal and the ambience. The expensive cocktails were lovely. Highly recommend the honey crisp sour. We had the French dip and the short rib sandwich sandwiches and they were delicious. The ciabatta rolls were just perfect for the sandwiches. The Shishido peppers, mushrooms, and cheese on the short rib sandwich were delicious. All of the wait staff were so friendly and responsive. Have to say the absolute best french fries I have ever had in my life - anywhere! Will come back.

We had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was that of a great old bar/tavern. The waitstaff were extremely friendly and attentive. The food came out hot and quickly. The cocktails were well made and generous. Great tasting food--the bolognese and pasta was the best I have ever had. The wedge salad was terrific with candied bacon. We will become regulars.

This restaurant is excellent. They have a nice variety of dishes and are very accommodating for special dietary restrictions. Many menu items are gluten free or can be made gluten free. The staff is courteous and efficient and the atmosphere is lovely.
