Great place to go after a show Noise level was great I have hearing aides and the ambient noise was very low. Kind of on the small size but if it is attracting a good customer base it’s good. Staff were great and the food was well presented and good. Price is within range. I would recommend this place to anyone.

We went during happy hour and the prices were right and the food was fantastic. I had the cod tacos, which were incredible along with a very yummy margarita. It was the perfect place to have a bite to eat before seeing a concert at the Opera House.
