My daughter described the place, as a bar. But, it's more than that. The food is fabulous. I had steak which was delicious and cooked close to perfection. Service was great.
The atmosphere is very noisy. Not a place to have a quiet dinner or a conversation. We met the family here to celebrate a birthday and it was difficult to talk to eachother.

Never had a bad experience. Go regularly both for work outings and personal dining and always impressed. Great food with excellent variety of Italian and American options. Service is always friendly and attentive, and they have a great selection of beers on rotating tap. Always highly recommended!

McKenna did an amazing job. It’s the reason why we keep coming back. Hope they keep her behind the bar. Such a talented and genuine person. Fast, efficient, caring, hardworking. The kind of person you want as a bartender.
