  Great service and atmosphere. Food was subpar. Calamari were rubbery and tough. Baby back ribs were bland.

  We enjoyed our time here and the food is good and priced reasonable. Parking free. We come here often for girls lunch out. Drinks at yummy. And yes we ate a lot ! So we did spent 50 per person but happy to keep local business in business.

  Online photos do not do them justice ambiance at night was flawless, with cozy lighting and live music. Food was phenomenal and bar tender was over the top wonderful. We will 1000% be back.

  TLDR- gorgeous place, empty inside, uncomfortable hospitality, mediocre food - not worth a return visit with the parking situation Went here with a guest. It seemed pretty dead in there for a Friday night, and my companion commented on it. Ordered pizza, calamari, and salmon amongst ourselves. The food was just ok. Not bad. Server was nice but forgot to refill drink even after being asked. Food was pretty pricy for what we got. Calamari was the best part, but I’ve frankly had better at chains and other local restaurants with better prices. Salmon didn’t seem to have much flavor. I don’t mind paying even more than what we paid though, when the service and food are great, and what we got was just ok. We’d barely been there 40 minutes on a dead night (we’d ordered an appetizer then meals), and my dinner partner was eating his pizza with a slice actively in his hand, when they already started the pressure to get us to leave by having the manager stop by in his suit then the server to ask if we were done then stopped by again 10 minutes later to loudly suggest we order dessert as if to say please leave and 1 minute later the server aggressively said the same thing after we’d already told the male manager no. It wasn’t near closing, people were still eating, nobody was waiting for a table, and the place was so empty it made the ambience seem weird. It should have been hopping like the nearby restaurants we passed by appeared to be. You could see the cooks cooking in the kitchen from your seat so that should’ve been a hopping spot for the entertainment factor and how cute the restaurant was. I had high expectations and was looking for a spot I could continue to bring people to either for dates or networking/business dinners. This isn’t that spot. Parking situation isn’t the best here either and the experience and food we received wouldn’t be worth the hassle to return. We both said the food was just ok. They have the elements of what they need for success- beautiful space, decent bathrooms, busy nearby location with a luxury movie theater upstairs meaning could be the perfect dinner and a movie spot. Seems decently clean. They just fail at hospitality and creating food with flavors or seasoning for the price that makes it worthwhile to come back. I’d suggest retraining the manager and servers. Outwardly polite in their words but aggressive demeanor. Cannot recommend.
