Food was excellent. Our server was attentive. Veal Marsala should permanently be on the menu. And the bartender knows how to make a killer martini. Can’t ask for better.

We were very impressed with our waiter. Jose did a great job. Recommendations were spot on. Patio was nice. Music was loud. Hard to carry a conversation. Upstairs bar and their speakeasy is a definite must. Very relaxed vibe. We will definitely return.
