Excellent Food, especially the the Baltimore Club Sandwich and fries were excellent and hot upon arrival. The waiter was fantastic. Food was on the table within 12-15 minutes from ordering. Great place to eat and great pricing. I tip at least 20% for overall.

First time coming here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Hesitated at first to come here because it is a small place, but don’t judge the book by its cover — because it was an amazing experience. Foods are good from starters to main and to the dessert course - ofcourse can’t forget the wine.

Excellent food and service as always, but a gaggle of restaurant employees (wait staff and MGMT) was standing in the middle of the bar area talking and laughing for 15-20 minutes. Very unprofessional. Very disruptive.

Two words... AMAZING ALEXIS! A bit of a busy night with a holiday private event on one side of the restaurant challenged the kitchen's timing for food execution and quality to a degree... however, my second visit here having Alexis as a server for the second time was the saving grace! She is just amazing.
