Exceptional, as always. Our go-to restaurant for date night or any night we just don't want to make dinner. The friendly faces, delicious food/wine/cocktails, and attentive service keep us coming back. I seriously can't find a Cucumber Gimlet this good anywhere else. And the BURGER on Wednesdays - prepare to be craving it once you've had it. Chef perfected this one... and it's unmatched.
