This place is just immaculate. If you are seeking an amazing dining experience for all parties in your party, please look no further than this gem! Very reasonably priced items for great portions and satisfaction.

The staff from lead host to every person involved in creating a wonderful experience works hard to deliver 100% to every guest. As my dining companion and I were filing in, a handful of other patrons arrived and received the same stellar service. I believe many of the patrons were return customers and I can see why.

I peppered my delightful server Catalina with so many questions and requests and she dutifully completed all of my requests. What I must commend Catalina on is her impressive ability to act as a liaison whilst verifying with the kitchen staff and management my inquiries. There is nothing worse than being mislead during a dining experience so I was over the moon with the due diligence of the respectful team of this establishment.

We ordered two cocktails on their current October list and both were impressive. I will definitely return to this restaurant on account of the attentive personnel and due to the complexity/execution of their core cocktails.

If you're looking for refined cocktails with impeccable service, look no further as you've...

3rd and last visit. Absolutely deafening music at Sunday brunch. Shouting at my table mates. Inexperienced servers, no dining room management, inconsistent food, no parking and it's not cheap. During my last visit a piece of "reclaimed art" ie a large rustic window frame with peeling paint, fell off one of its fasteners and was dangling precariously over a 2-top. The server told them it was fine. They set their nervously for about 10 minutes waiting for her to come back and either move their table or fix it. When she did neither they got up and left. Our table was set with smeary dirty water glasses that we had to ask to be replaced, no hurry on that either. My "chicken and dumplings" were cold, gluey and topped with 2 small, stale biscuits. I did not eat it. The server removed it without asking why and was glad to drop a check for full price in front of me. Finally, the last straw: my bloody mary was watery. Bad food, bad drinks, bad service, bad atmosphere, no parking, and expensive. Normally I would feel bad to slam a local business online but since this is the third time I've been there and it was terrible I doubt...
