Get the specials, you'll won't regret it. The food is to die for. It's no fuss, simple ingredients, yet packs a punch withflavor. I haven't tried a single dish I didn't like. Oh and their cocktails are addicting!!!

The website mentions Happy Hour 5-7 Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday and their was a sign outside that said happy hour Monday-Sunday 5-7. Walked in and stated we were there for happy hour. Thehostess rudely dismissed us saying that was only Wednesday and Thursday. When I informed her that the sign outside saysMonday-Sunday and the website says Sunday as well she stated “I don’t know why he put that. It’s wrong.” Seems like shejust didn’t want to serve us. Very disappointed with this unwelcome welcome after such stellar reviews. I hope the ownersknows about this.

Add to that a knowledgeable and responsive bartender, how could it not be 5 star!!! Only thing I would change is the TV has a blackboard over it. (lol). But weare understandably in the minority, sports fans AND fine dining connoisseurs.

After sitting for what seemed like 30 minutes we finally had to tell Alex, our waiter, we were ready to order. When we tried to order drinks and appetizers he chastised us and insisted on taking our entire order then and there. So we dropped our entree plans and just ordered our appetizers. The food took an incredibly long time to come to the table. When it finally did it was hot and tasty. When the bill came I was shocked to see a $200 bill for a party of 4 with no entrees. Insane prices.
