We absolutely loved the food. The setting thru us off (office building)…but we were there on a Monday so I’m sure the vibes are better on the weekend. The food was outstanding! Our group of 8 couldn’t have been happier!

This was unreal experience, food exceeded our expectations, service was 10/10. The only issue we had was being seated 40 minutes after our reservation time. Overall would definitely come back.

I love this place. It’s right down the street from where I’m staying. I’ve probably been there half a dozen times the people are very friendly. The service has always been great. It was a Monday night. The food came out very quickly had some delicious calamari salad pasta, and a strip steak. My only complaint would be they don’t know how to make a Moscow mule. They don’t have the right cups for it other than that it was pretty perfect.
