Flies all around the bar and bugging us at our tables while we are eating. Mind you it’s winter. The only reason there could be flies is because the bar is dirty and must be sticky back there. Also was allergic to onions they put them on the food and we had to have it remade

Food was average. Extremely bright in the restaurant and the silverware looked like it hadn’t even been washed.

Nice location. Warm decor with original exposed cream city brick. Very clean. Sabrina our server was amazing. Host and all staff were friendly and efficient. Smaller but nice selection of menu items. Full bar with great drinks. Would definitely recommend and go again.

The food was awesome once it got to us. The ambiance is similar to a sports bar. I may go there again but probably not. Good waitress and food. Decor and noise level were sub par as was our wait for food (over an hour).

Good fresh food at decent prices. Nice restaurant. Great service. I was a little confused as to why it was fairly empty on a Saturday night. But the food was good and the service top notch. Definitely recommend this spot

Overall it was not a bad experience. The staff were friendly but quite inattentive. I stood by the hostess station for 10 minutes before I had to find someone to be seated. I witnessed another couple have the same issue. Took almost 15 minutes to get drinks and they were not very busy at this time. Food was decent, but nothing to rant and rave about.
