Slow night due to weather. Arrived at 7 and sat quickly. Brussels sprouts are a favorite for an appetizer! We had the chicken sliders and the salmon, Delicious! Skip desert but Malbec wine was spot on as was the Assistant Manager NA Beer. Thanks to the kitchen and staff for a nice night out.

The food and drinks are really good and the service is lovely. The prices are a bit on the high side, but not unreasonable. Definitely recommend, but be aware that it is very loud - the volume of the music and/or TVs are nearly dance club level - not a great place to go if you want to be able to converse within your group, but otherwise a fun spot for a good drink.

Overall, we felt like welcomed and appreciated patrons, and we will most certainly be back. Food was great, most had hanger steak. Drinks were excellent. The table size was perfect for our group. Its location at the door made for a noisier, colder and less private dinner, and the use of stools for two of our party was less comfortable for them. Our server, Jenna was great, and she made up for the inconvenience with her enjoyable personality, complimentary bruschetta, and flexibility on appetizer portions.
