    Some side items were very salty. This needs to be addressed in the kitchen because it wasn't like this the last time I visited. The lamb chops needs a sauce that comes with it because it was a bit hard to swallow by itself. Everything else my party ordered was good. Our server was great and drinks were good as well.

    Great ambience. Music was great but at a level that I could still have a conversation. Food was marvelous and the service was amazing. Can’t wait to come back!

    For my first time, it was an experience and the food was amazing. The happy hour special was great. Lamp chops are the best menu item hands down. The servers and staff are exceptional and professional.

    I highly suggest making a reservation if you are going for brunch! Food is top notch, service is great and drinks are bomb! The lobster bites are the perfect starter and the lamb chops are great!! Ambiance is a plus as well as they sit right on Main St.

    Love, love, love! When booking on Open Table, I had to pay a deposit for each person in the reservation. I was like hmmmm.....but did so. Checked in, instantly felt the vibe, and sat at a great table by the window. Alana was AHHHHHMAZING! She took incredible care of us as did the food runners. Drinks and food were top notch and totally delish! I loved the r&b music, people-watching, and even the photographer that came around and took your pic and then brought it back in a frame. Heyyyyy! We took home 5 framed pics for $100...what a great keepsake! When we got the bill, I loved the price after the deposit was subtracted. Haahaa! Omg, cannot wait to go back! Fantastic experience!

    The food is worth the noise level. But don't expect to carry a conversation easily.
