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.

my parents are in town visiting, and we brought them here. Not only was everyone lovely, the food was delicious. Everything on the menu seems like it was a conscious choice, and each piece of the meal tasted delicious. We usually don’t order dessert when we go out, but we did this time and didn’t regret it.
