    We worked both ends of the menu, the $12 happy-hour list and the mains, and the pricing is honest for what lands in front of you. A live DJ gives the room a pulse most kitchens this good don’t bother with, and the server — whose name I wish I’d caught — stayed on our table all night without me once having to flag him down. Two straight-talk notes: parking is tight, so come early or plan your ride. And the house adds an automatic 20% gratuity — worth knowing, because it can quietly cap what a genuinely good server takes home. Read the check before you tip on top. None of it keeps me away. Food, room, people — worth the trip. I’ll keep going back.
