This is our local fave. We are here a couple times a month and tonight everything was especially delicious. As always service was wonderful and the vibe was comfortable. Thank you all.
January 2026
The food here is absolutely delicious. The drinks are tasty but not very potent. Service was less than desirable because there was a private event going on, which divided the service staffs attention to regular guests. I would come here again if in the area.
