My adult daughter and I enjoyed dinner in the bar area. Food was delicious and service was good as well. It was a little loud at our table given its proximity to a crowded bar area. My daughter had a burger which she said was very good. I had the salmon mediterranean salad that was tasty. I eat here often for lunch as it's located close to my office but have not had dinner here very often. Glad we could make a reservation on Open Table as we were seated within 5 minutes of arrival at the busy restaurant on a Saturday night. Will definitely return again when downtown for an evening event given the diverse food options (both type of food and price range) and consistently good food.
