    Glad to have found a place where I can visit with friends and actually seem to suit everyone with price and quality of food as well as noise level—we can hear each other!

    TVs flashing throughout the dining room kill the vibe. This could be a really desirable and romantic dinner spot, but the flashing TVs are mood busters. Turn them off or become a sports bar. Food is really amazing, so order take our.

    We had a great time, and their shared Valentine's Day meal was very reasonably priced. I would have liked a vegetarian meal which included tofu as a protein, but it all tasted very good. Our server was very friendly and professional, and we really appreciated the wine cork to commemorate the dinner.

    We had reservations and were seated right away. It was Valentine’s Day so most tables were set up for couples. We were accommodated but made it tight. Limited menu because of the special day but food was very good. Prices were set for two people but they made it work. Food was excellent. It was very busy so that affected service but the staff remained friendly and made the best of what they could. We enjoyed our time there.
