Our group was seated for more than 15 minutes before food was discussed, although wine was at length. Still a fun evening, amazing food (shared appetizers that I was able to get a fork in) ... but it was quite challenging to get the servers attention after apps. The server didn't ask if I wanted to order any food, but I was able to flag her late for a cocktail after everyone's else's food had arrived.

The drinks were very good.
The atmosphere was great! Would...

Haven't been here in a while. Service was outstanding. Prices are very reasonable. Wish they had a slightly larger menu but overall worthwhile. Would definitely go again. Give them a try.
