Food was excellent but service was mediocre. Would expect better given the prices. Bartender was exceptionally non attentive. Despite how good the food was won’t be going back mainly because of service and ambience.

First time here. No expectations, other than the positive reviews. Cozy family atmosphere. Prompt greeting @ front door. We were 30min early for our dinner reservation and planned to take advantage of the advertised happy hour. I was VERY disappointed no wine discounts offered during happy hour. I was told the happy hour is all vodka drinks. I don’t drink vodka so I had water. Bartender was our waitstaff. Her support staff was very attentive. She however did not check on us once our meals were served. I wanted a glass of wine with my meal. One of our party had to get up and ask for more water, our glasses were empty and a glass of wine for me. Our food was delicious. Very nicely prepared and fresh. Dessert was divine. We will return.
