    The food was really great however it was really pricey. For two of us it was $145 (not including the tip) and we did not drink big drinks (2 Coors Lights and 1 draft beer). We did bring home leftovers. Service was good, but I felt like the server was stretched a little thin. After about 6 PM, the volume level jumped incredibly and with music that I felt was inappropriate for the venue.  I would hope for more of some fun Rat Pack music and instead it was more like disco/80s. I would go again, but maybe next time earlier for happy hour and enjoy it more that way.
