Me and my friend had dined in on a Friday afternoon. Dave was our server/bartender. He was swift with his job and VERY sweet. You could tell he was passionate about his job. The food we had was high quality and overall great. The drinks were good as well. Overall would return!

I’ve been here several times, haven’t had dinner here for a bit. My blackened salmon was quite good, but my partner’s roast chicken was awful. Overcooked, dry…a thigh and leg instead of a breast. Deep fried polenta? We ate inside. Tables are crowded close together and service was slow. Nice to stop by for a drink but I’ll pass on the food for now.

Excellent food and service!! Highly recommend this restaurant!!
Honestly I was very disappointed. I was told that they were doing a refresh of the place and getting a new menu but it’s not really anything new. I’ve been to other restaurants in east and it feels like a copy of Jose’s and Carolinas. Was really hoping for some new original ideas to try out but was let down. It’s also quite pricey.

We had a party of 10 and were able to thankfully make a reservation (apparently some other restaurants around don’t do them). We were given a semi-private room which was very nice. They have a good selection of drinks and non alcoholic options, as well as tasty dishes! The gnocchi was a hit. The elevator is a little weird and manually operated.

A total gem! We visited on a busy Friday night in the winter without a reservation and were seated quickly. The space is clean, well-designed, and despite being full, it wasn’t loud at all—just a pleasant, cozy atmosphere. The wait staff was incredibly warm, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the pot roast (I ate every bite), and the cranberry cake for dessert was fantastic! I don't live in the area, but I’ll definitely be back every time I’m in town.

The short rib pot roast was one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten.

The food here is soooo good, and it is in such a convenient location for us. Unfortunately the service is why I have not returned since the fall. It was a beautiful day, so my sister and I wanted to sit on the patio with my dog. She went inside and when she did, no one was at the host stand, after being stared at by servers and waiting for 10 minutes she came outside to join us on the patio thinking maybe we had to seat ourselves, since no one approached her. We then sat on the patio for an additional 20 minutes while an older lady looked out the window at us. She was having a conversation with some patrons there so we assumed she was just dining at the restaurant, she actually worked there and after 20 MINUTES , decided to bring us menus and let us know that WE had made a mistake. That is when our server David came outside to let us know that he only had to stepped away from the host stand for a MOMENT, and then shamed us for seating ourselves. It’s just extremely unfortunate because the food here is great, but the rude service is offputting. I hope they can get it together so we can give them another chance.

Location was great! Atmosphere was cozy. Food was awesome as was the drinks, both spirit and spiritless. Our server, Stephanie was wonderful at suggestions as we were drained from being at the hospital for hours. Was a great first time experience!

The food was good, but we came late at night. It was completely empty. It may be because it's a business district. We were just driving through and found this place. The portions were generous with great flavors.

The menu was still from Fall and not many entree options, but the grilled cheese was very good. I asked for the fennel and apple slaw that comes eith the fish ad my side and it was very good.
