Haley was my server last night. She was amazing and one reason I will be returning. While I was waiting for my friend I was watching a show on my phone and instantly made a friendly connection and that friendliness did not leave her at all. 10/10 server.

We frequent this restaurant and simply love it! We were guests at their pre opening night and loved everything about it. We have been regulars ever since. The food is consistent, the service great and I like their selection of beers. A little different and makes a change from so many places who offer much of the staples. We feel their appetizer, the Brussel Sprouts is by far the best in town. We typically have this as a starter if we can, and their portion is generous and crispy! We highly recommend trying this place. You will not be disappointed.

Wait staff were great (we were there on Halloween) - funny, informative and attentive. Great drinks and food. Atmosphere was perfect for a work or social event. Appreciate the attention to detail from the moment we arrived. Would definitely go back.

A wonderful combination of outstanding service, beautiful surroundings, and great food and cocktails. Highly recommend!
