    Enjoyed the Hangar steak, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. Live music was fantastic. This is a great spot for a date or a small group of friends.

    Really great brunch option. Tasty roast on the coffee and baked eggs are bomb. Be prepared to wait a little bit for baked eggs tho. They will give you a really yummy cake to start though

    Natrually, the pasta is amazing - but it's really the cocktails I keep coming back for. Not to complicated, but always delicious. My favorite is the Rosemary Gin Fizz.

    Come Monday-Wednesday for three $10 pastas. I love the pesto one and you should bring a date.

    This place is delicious! Get the hanger steak or chicken. Ambiance is awesome and so is the live music. Service was a touch slow but not too bad.

    I ate here on Dec. 14 for the first and last time. While eating the octopus I pulled a fish hook out of my tongue. The restaurants response was insulting. I never leave reviews, but this is different.

    Service is slow but the food is pretty tasty and the outdoor space is perfect, if the weather permits.

    Live music is great! Food is inconsistent, some dishes are good and some don't even deserve a review.

    The food was wonderful, however service was sluggish and unprofessional. Don't come for the Sunday Supper deal, as they are reluctant to offer it and told us it was only 2 courses vs. the advertised 3

    The food is good, but some servers are unprofessional and rude. I would recommend a manager of the restaurant to teach the stuff hospitality

    Don't order the granola. It's not with seasonal fruits as the menu says & the yogurt is just ok.
