Visited on a Friday live music night, and they should probably fire the tired, off-key singers running through flat covers of Brown Eyed Girl. We ordered a tasty Speck Pizzette and a meh pear salad—menu is uninspiring. Our server forgot about us in between courses, took a while to order entrees. Bathroom was filthy with a broken sink. No reason to ever come back here.
