        We sat in the bar which was perfect for us. Amazing food! The sticky pork ribs are a must. We also had the Brussels and the meatballs. All were delicious. We wanted to try more but were full.

        Our server was great. The food took a long time to arrive and some items were missing. We ordered the fish of the day and the fish arrived without any sauces or garnishments and we had to wait another 10 minutes and then the fish was cold. Overall the food was good, not great, the portions were small and not worth the price.

        Food was tasty but portions were way too small. Left hungry. We ordered the cornbread and it was literally one small piece between two people for $9. Service was fine. Happy hour was good.

        Great food. But the service was attentive to the point of being overbearing. Our waitress practically read the entire menu to us each time she came by and thanked us so much I started to wonder if business had been bad. There was also some confusion when ordering a bottle of wine.

        Fun spot and I’ve dined here before. Very festive spot for the holidays but the service is not a strong suit. Took 15 minutes to get water at the table and even longer for menus. The food came out family style vs courses so some were eating appetizers while others were making room for their dinner plates. Dessert was still frozen cold (banana cream pie) and was a very uneven portion (all banana up front and all cream in the back).
