I went there for drinks and a bite with some friends and it was absolutely delicious! I had the fish tacos and they were out of this world. The waitress was friendly as can be. They were pretty busy which mDe the service kind of slower but they did the best with what they could and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Make great mixed drinks, the food I've had so far has been stellar. A the slumber drink is fantastic.

We went on a busy night when they were understaffed and were stuck in a back corner. The servers hustled! The food was good. Just wish we had a better seat.

This was my first time going here though my parents come often since it's a favorite place of theirs and I can see why. Everything was amazing here, the drinks, the atmosphere, the staff, the food, all of it. The specialty cocktails in particular were amazing, and now I have decided I need more mango chunks on my pulled pork sandwiches in the future because my meal here was that good. We sat at the bar because it was a little too windy for the patio when we went, but really there doesn't appear to be a "bad place" to sit for your meal. I will definitely be coming here more often in the future, and hopefully bringing the bf next time!

This place at one time was very good. My last two visits have been so disappointing. The quality of food and the service have really gone downhill and it’s expensive for what you get! I won’t be back!

Food was wonderful. Drinks were good. Wine list was good as well. Service was great. Margo was a great server. We have a good time. We will be back for sure.

To start off, when we got there, the hostess when we walked in was extremely unfriendly. She seemed to have no idea what was going on when we told her we had a reservation that night and gave some extremely rude attitude. Two people that I was eating dinner with got salmon to eat and later that night both had upset stomachs and were throwing up for the majority of the night until the morning. We got told by our waitress when the food came out that the kitchen only had 3 cooks that night which is why it took longer, but that is no excuse for uncooked food. The restaurant was packed and I am sure they were rushing to get food out to tables, but the result of that was food poisoning from the salmon. Very disappointing.

Ok so we came to celebrate a coworker birthday, we had reservations and still waited about 25min, the staff was not that welcoming… its just that the waitress took forever to come and go for every single glass of water… long story , short- food mediocre, service poor, definitely NOT recommended !

Loved the atmosphere here. Cool layout in the place with two bars with one looking into the kitchen. I’d like to highlight one item but everything I’ve had I would get again.

Phenomenal up and down. I've eaten here several times and the food is perfect every time. Last night we had Matt for our server and he made the whole experience even better. This is quickly turning into my favorite restaurant.

My brother and I came in on a Saturday night when it was super busy, but the staff was still attentive and super friendly. It didn't take long at all to get drinks, and our food came out fast. Phenomenal chicken sandwich.

overpriced, burgers are $20+. My dad’s fish was over cooked, so was my mom’s burger. I got the pesto tortellini which wasn’t bad but it wasn’t anything special. truffle mac and cheese didn’t really taste like truffles. risotto was good though. idk. overall good but not for the price.

LOVE this place! Great for a few cocktails or if you want to have an amazing dinner. Love their bourbon selection, one of the better ones in the area and pricing is very reasonable. Make sure to stop by next time you’re in the area!

Beautiful bar, high prices and decent service. They are selling excellence but delivering mediocrity. My salad was drowning in dressing and the short rib sandwich was ok but impossible to eat without falling apart and making a mess. The room was beautiful.

Our waitress Kali was wonderful! She let us take our time in ordering. Checked in to see if everything was fine and if we needed anything else. I was with a friend so we took our time eating.Our food was amazing! I had the brussel sprout app and side Ceasars salad for my meal. Those sprouts were to die for! So much flavor. Yum! My friend had the blacken Mahi Mahi tacos. Those were just as good.Thank you for great food and great service.
