At first, when we walked in we felt out of place because it’s an older crowd. But, the atmosphere was great! Music was good, decorations were delightful and the food…….. AMAZING!!! The chef was out walking around a bit and I spoke to him briefly. He said he’s only been there a month and has plans to add all kinds of new menu items that sounds amazing too!! Our waitress, April was fantastic and very attentive. All around a wonderful experience. Highly recommend

Stopped in for a happy hour drink and appetizers. An enormous selection of martinis. The waitstaff and bartender were slow in getting drink orders out, especially when my husband had to reorder as there were out of some ingredients, including olive juice for a straight up dirty martini... Very disappointing. Granted the place was hopping and the band was especially good. Definitely a locals hang out but will definitely be back for the atmosphere. For appetizers, the tuna poke was great, but the chips were stale. Pork belly was seriously overcooked. Octopus was the highlight though we would have loved more watermelon salad.

Chad was our Waiter! It was our first time experience! Everything was paced perfectly. He was extra kind and make sure everything came out exactly how we wanted it. He also didn't judge me when I asked for A1! 😊
The Live music was almost the highlight of my night! Besides Chad of course!

Found this place thanks to Open Table. We were greeted by name at the front door. It only got better from there. “The Chad” was our server and were we in for a treat! He had great input to help me decide between the Tuscan shrimp, the ahi tuna and the fillet. He was very attentive, checking on us often and offering things before we even realized we needed them. The Husband had the fillet and it was worth ordering. It’s hard to find a fillet at a restaurant that compares to what we can grill at home. This one did. Excellent pea risotto and don’t pass up the goat cheese appetizer! Try the lava cake for me. I was too full to order it but I hear it’s amazing with the house made ice cream. Enjoy!

The service on 2.20.23 was VERY off, in regards to timing, due to being short-staffed. But I can't hold that against them! I will say that everyone was so VERY nice, apologetic, and accommodating! It was my birthday, so I wasn't in a rush to leave anyway! The owner was there and gave me a free dessert and attempted to give us 2 complimentary "after dessert" drinks, which we thankfully declined bc we were driving and we had already had an alcoholic beverage during dinner..... the live jazz musicians were AMAZING and VERY TALENTED! A GREAT BIRTHDAY EVENING!
