We had a great time! The jazz band was very nice and not too loud. The garlic shrimp that Hector recommended was fantastic! Hector is a true gem! Our waiter.....I believe that was his name....couldn't be more attentive.
We sat in a booth by the bar - the restaurant next to us looked like a nicer environment - salad was excellent - pizza very good - Thick and crispy crust.
Service amazing presentation amazing taste amazing! Plus made an old fashion cocktail my way.. Had no problem making my two yr old granddaughter happy!
Despite making a reservation we were seated in an empty dining room on a table next to the swinging kitchen door. No ambiance in the room with no other customers present. Food was very disappointing and expensive for a not very exciting meal menu.
So happy to discover this gem! Great food, service and we loved sitting out on their beautiful patio listening to jazz!
Outside seating was comfortable, but a bit noisy as it was a happy hour. Good value on the Wednesday half price on the wine bottle. 
This is really a great find that I've been meaning to try. We finally had dinner here and had roast chicken and Brussels sprouts as well as the salad with beets. The live jazz is wonderful and so rare to find now days locally. We will be back often!

Good food all around but atmosphere lacked from what the pictures show. Overall good place to eat
Gorgeous indoor bar area, buzzing with many people. Love the atmosphere.
Live music on the patio was awesome on a Sunday evening.
Attended private party recently. Served outdoors. Service was perfect. Flatbread and crab cakes were great. Main course of Steak or Salmon were delicious. Deserts were too good! I’ll certainly go back for.a dinner with my wife or guests.

We ordered the salmon special and the Farfalle.
The salmon was burnt and cold. Astonishing you would give this to a client!! The waiter should have never brought that plate to the table
The farfalle was blended with cream .. (that’s it) no flavor.//we had to order a jalapeño to give it a kick.
Deserts were atrocious. Apple cake dry and tasteless . The warm brownie was baked the day before. Ice cream was cold
Very disappointing as we have been going there for many years. Need more quality control.
Cheers
