I was always curious and finally on a warm Friday evening I decided to drop in after reading many positive reviews both on Facebook and on Google. Boy, was I ever pleasantly surprised. The environment is very cozy and inviting. Despite it being a local neighborhood bar it wasn't obnoxiously loud and was actually quite comfortable. The bars owner and namesake, "Michael" came and personally introduced himself to myself and my Mother. I enjoyed a large "Double Decker" hamburger with french fries while my Mom enjoyed a delicious cup of some of the best tasting Brocolli-Cheddar soup I've ever tasted. We also sampled the Loaded Potato Skins as an appetizer and it was quite good. The dining area was very clean and easy to navigate. I'll definitely be returning here again soon.“

Flavor pairings across the menu are magnificent. The crab cake/pork belly appetizer was the big hit across our group. For pasta, I enjoyed the carnaroli risotto, which was a light and fresh take on a traditionally rich dish. The classic bolognese (pictured) was terrific for those eyeing a more traditional dish.“

It's so expensive though you don't really have much of a choice but to slowly sip it otherwise you'll spend $90 in 10 minutes.I would have loved to stay longer than I did.
