The Beef and Barley soup was the perfect start on a very cold day. Service is professional and warm. The French Dip Sandwich is so tender it melts in your mouth! The underground parking is a huge plus on a bad-weather day!

Had an AMAZING dining experience on a Friday night. From the menu selections, to quality of the ingredients, I couldn’t have made a better choice for dinner. Fast and super friendly service, strong drinks and great portion sizing - looking forward to returning soon! Pro tip: Dine on Friday or Saturday so you can experience the sushi. SO GOOD.

Kalin what is wonderful and kept all of our requests and his mind and quickly presented. We were surprised how busy it was, but the staff was efficient and they knew how to handle all the tables. There were five in our group. We all ordered something different and we all were very pleased with our dinners. We will go back!

Food was very good, service was excellent, did not have to yell to hear each other. What really made the evening special, though, was the care and concern the staff showed toward my friend who uses a walker and moves very slowly. They could not have been nicer in helping her get into the restaurant and then getting her into the car when the evening was over. Kudos to a great restaurant staff!
