Our dinners were great. The bar was a little slow to respond, but the cocktails met expectations. Our server was friendly and attentive. Park in the Public lots and add ten minutes to your arrival time for the brief walk. All in all, a great Friday night in the Short North.
Had the best time here! MJ was phenomenal. She guided us through the menu and helped us pick out the best items, we will be back to see MJ!
Exceptionally great restaurant every time had a date night with my wife. Food was very good. The atmosphere was good. Never have an issue going to this restaurant. Everything every time is is exceptional.
