Love this place, been coming here for a while now since before they changed locations. Service is always amazing, drinks are amazing and strong, love their happy hour specifically because I order their mussels that come a lot in one bowl. Staff is always friendly and I come here about once a week. Brunch on Sundays is good too

We were sitting for about 10-15 minutes before we were asking what we wanted to drink. It took another 15 minutes for her to ask what we wanted to eat. Food took about 30 mins to come out.

My experience was at their sister restaurant of Eight Proof where the drinks were perfect and the food was excellent. In fact, I had wanted a dish from their sister restaurant (Barracuda) and they obliged by bringing my the Yuka Fries. The waitress was always available and friendly. The host (I wish I remembered his name) was the BEST host in any restaurant I have ever had. He came over to check often and was so personable. How could you go wrong in a restaurant like this--excellent...
