"We go for their wonderful happy hour (3-6) whenever we can!! They have delicious appetizers 1|2 price and great deals on drinks including a large menu of signature cocktails. The dinner menu has a good and interesting variety. The portions and quality were excellent. The various waitstaff are always top notch and a cut above those in most other local restaurants. The atmosphere is relaxed, classic, old world somewhat like a chophouse with hip modern flair somehow- very pleasant. I love it and will be back soon."

"A friend of mine told me I should try this place out since I love good food and great atmospheres. They really recommended the fish and chips which I purchased The fish on some big serving and the coleslaw was delicious. The fish was just okay to me. I've had better but the presentation was beautiful. I think if they put a pinch of salt that would change everything for the fish. I most definitely will go back and try something else, but I don't think I'll try the fish again. I would most definitely recommend this place. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service was A1"
