My wife and I reserved the recommended two weeks ahead of time. I was not able to find the exact time we wanted (6 PM) but we were able to accommodate the 8:15. We showed up a little early. Everyone was great. Food was awesome. My wife had the pasta and scallops. I had the rare dish, wild hare. We shared the affogato. All of it excellent!

This was our first time, and we loved the atmosphere, the food and the service. Arriving at 6PM on a Monday we got a table for three at the window, expecting a "quiet" dinner but the restaurant soon filled with several larger parties, no doubt because of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. It got a little noisy, but not enough to distract from a nice evening with a great meal and service. Gluten free options were available, and there was nothing left on anyone's plate when we were leaving.

Korean sticky ribs were great!| Pollo tacos were a bit spicy for me, but Jonathan, our server brought me some sour cream which helped. The flavor was very good! The Earls Bacon Cheeseburger dod not disappoint and the fries were skinny and delicious!

Our group of 4 started with the seasonal board which was delicious but did not come with enough toast. We were able to order more for an up charge. The burgers and sandwiches were huge and impossible to finish but were so good. Our waitress was attentive throughout. I would eat here again if I was in the area.
