We enjoyed the ambience and service. Most of the seafood in the paella was overcooked. We enjoyed the pork chops

Enjoyed our meal. The only disappointment was the ribeye as asked for it served ‘medium rare’ and it was was definitely well done when served…it was pretty thin cut of meat. Server/ host was friendly and beer selection was good.

Went for happy hour, but told that due to it being a busy weekend, there was no happy hour. Pretty disappointing that an advertised happy hour could be arbitrarily cancelled.

Really enjoyed our evening here. The menu is diverse and creative. We didn’t know about the 4% surcharge fair wage fee. We didn’t see it on the menu, website or front door. This disappointed us. Especially tacking it on to a $55 bottle of wine. It’s in poor taste. The entrees were $40-$75 and starters were very generously priced. Unfortunately they ran out of a side dish that accompanied the entree so we had to substitute.
