    Had the crab cakes, salmon, and lobster ravioli, all of which were excellent. Presentation was great too. The draft beer selection is small but they did have one that I like. We ate at an early hour so it wasn’t crowded or as noisy as it might have been. Our waiter was great; attentive, friendly, pacing the appetizer and main course nicely, and paid attention to the fact we had a show to catch so he moved things along and we didn’t get nervous. I just wish this place was in a different location, in an area with more neighborhood charm. Being on Auto Row and right next to a Chevy dealer is a bit of a minus but, hey, can’t always have it all. We definitely plan to go back and try more on the menu!

    This is a true neighborhood spot for us. The staff (waiters, waitresses, bartenders, manager and kitchen professionals) make a real effort to ensure your are comfortable and well served. Value and good food always seem to be at the ready!

    I go here everyday, I love this place, it was my first time actually having dinner there at dinner time and per usual food was great. They also have an amazing drink menu as well, if you haven’t tried this place out you should definitely try it…

    Ambiance very clean! Our server (sorry I didn’t keep her name) took care of me and my family and was very pleasant. Good food and portioning is huge. Will certainly come back when in-town and recommend to friends.

    The Kale and Beet Salad was tasty, my Bunless burger was cooked just right, Garlic Fries had plenty of Garlic. The Clam Chowder was better than expected, sister's burger was a little overcooked. Took home the Cheesecake and flourless Chocolate cake, both were pretty good.

    We were attending an event nearby and chose the restaurant primarily based upon location. But we were pleasantly surprised about how it surpassed our expectations in all regards. The food and drinks were expertly prepared. The service was friendly and unpretentious. The atmosphere was cozy and low key. And the prices were extremely reasonable. I would definitely go back!

    Variety of options from salads, sandwiches, and entrees, and a fair amount of veggie/vegan options. Service was great. Overall the restaurant has a great vibe.
