Caesar Salad is very good, but the Beet and Chicken Salad is even better! It would be nice if bread was served with a salad.

We had a great experience! The garlic potatoes and vodka pasta were amazing! Our server was very friendly and we loved the overall vibes. I had a frozen espresso martini and it was great, very strong.
