The menu is creative and inviting. The ambience is very nice albeit a bit loud. Service was good given how busy it was. You have to like smoky tasting meat. It was a bit too smokey for us but a nice place to go while in Santa Rosa.

There was a small error with the bill and we were charged double, but the next day we spoke with the manager and he told us he wouldn’t fix the problem. Other than that, everything is very good.
