    I had a very nice lunch, with reasonable food and good service. However, the overall ambiance of the restaurant is noticeably less refined than it was when it first opened. I stayed for a drink at the bar after lunch and noticed that it was not as nice an experience as it once was. I recognize that things change, but the changes here are not for the better. I hope that management recognizes that the back of the house needs to stay in the back of the house. I got the sense this was lost on the new management.

    It was delicious! The tuna poke nachos were perfect, drinks were great, burger was outstanding. I like my fries skinner, but the flavor and crisp was good.

    Phenomenal burgers we have the mushroom and the blue cheeseburger, and they were so flavorful, but also light and enormous! Hands-down, the best one we’ve had in like 10 years! We will be back
