It's amazing how it does not get overly noisy like other restaurants in the area. The cocktail menu is fabulous. Food offerings are mostly twists on traditional dishes. Many times they excel at elevating flavors, but service can be slow and inattentive. It is variable. The menu does seem to change frequently, so if you find something you enjoy, it might not be there next time.

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and left feeling a little disappointed…read more When we were seated, our waitress asked if we were celebrating anything. We told her it was our anniversary, and she said she had a dessert she was going to bring us. Unfortunately, that never happened, which was a bit of a letdown. For dinner, my husband ordered the salmon, and while the salmon itself was good, the risotto was served cold. I ordered a Caesar salad and was surprised to find spinach mixed into it. That's not what I expect in a traditional Caesar salad, so it was a little odd. Overall, the experience wasn't terrible, but there were several small details that added up and made what should have been a special anniversary dinner feel underwhelming. I hope these issues can be improved because the restaurant has potential.
