Excellent food and music- we always sit up in the front room to hear the music which is why the noise level is high… but people sit in the rooms further away from the music for quieter dinner- staff is wonderful and it our fav dinner spot!

Our party of 8 had a great time this Thanksgiving. We had a 4pm reservation and were seated a bit early. Our server Danielle was superb, attentive, upbeat , and patient. The food was great, and we ordered across the menu including the featured turkey. In total, a very satisfying experience.

The ambiance was great, however there was a noticeable delay between our starters and entrees coming out. We ordered oysters - which were fresh, baked cheese and warmed olives, and the focaccia was deliciously herby. Swordfish, duck, and two steak frites were ordered as mains, all arrived together however the fries were dry and cold (as compared to the steak on the same plate). Overall the food and drinks were delicious.
