Went for lunch during restaurant week. Service was excellent, staff all well informed on the menu. Steak egg rolls were good and the chicken sandwich was great. Wonderful cocktails!

Our meal was AMAZING! The oyster appetizer disappeared within seconds. We had the 2lb steak special & it was absolutely delicious Next time, we're going for the tomahawk special

Quiet night in the restaurant since it was close to closing but that didn't stop the server from being amazing. He was attentive, funny, and had great suggestions. The appetizers portions are huge!! You could totally have them as an entree (which I did) and have left overs. The prices are decent too given the amount of food you get. This will be added to my regular treat myself rotation

First time around we decided on drinks then came back the following week for entrees. The wings were great however the steak and broccolini dish gave tv dinner. While the fried chicken dish was heavily salted.

Came here for brunch on a Sunday morning. This place actually has nice coffee for a restaurant that isn't just burnt bitter tasting yuck. They also have mimosas, either individual glasses or a refillable pitcher depending on how much you want. The food was really good. I got the smash burger and it really hit the spot with a perfect buttery taste, and the nearly perfect even circular shape of the burger and bun. It is one of those kinds of places that does things like serving fries in mini fry baskets and they have one of those "hanging bacons on a clothesline" kind of styles. Take of that what you will. But it was good food. Our server (I forgot who you were I'm sorry! It was a guy, Sunday morning on 5/25) was diligent and consistent checking up on us. Great guy. We had a small issue with the water bottle we were served in that it had some crud on the mouth of it, but it was replaced immediately. I would recommend trying this place out.

The ambience & service was impeccable! The food is *chefs kiss* - perfectly seasoned. It’s so amazing I’ve been back 3x in the last three weeks with different friends and they’ve all decided it’s our new spot. I just went for my birthday, and Sydney is an absolute joy. Even with the amount of people on a Saturday night she was so attentive and accommodating. The live band even sang me happy birthday and surprised me with a dessert. The wholeee staff is phenomenal.
