    Food was really good. The beef short rib was delicious. Hands down the best part of the meal. The ambiance was great. Service was ok. The server was kind of just there. Not the level of service I would expect for the price you pay. All and all we would go again. Food and atmosphere worth the trip .

    I had reservations and when we arrived they hostess asked if we wanted to sit at the main area and we said yes. She was told by a staffer at the bar that all the tables were reserved and they sat us in a room that was freezing. I must say they brought a portable heater. Another young waitress stopped by our table and told us that she would be happy to serve us in the main room and was a wonderful service. Food was great but the initial service was awful!

    It noisy when we first arrived, probably because of the group sitting at the bar. When they left it was better. Service was great, very attentive. Food was really good. We had the short ribd, salmon, chicken breast with sweet potato purse and,the mussels.

    Most of our meals were superb- French onion soup, crab toast, chicken with sweet potato purée and braised beef. The mussels were not a hit though. Service was ok but our waiter was also acting as bartender so wasn’t as attentive when drinks needed to be refilled or checking if we needed anything. I thought the ambiance was very nice. We will definitely be back.
