The food was awesome for our first time there. Had great service plus the GM (Matt - miss you at you old restaurant) plus the manager on duty stopped by to say hello and check on dinner. We will be back and even recommended to neighbors that were in the area a few nights later that they should book before their concert.

Overall, it was excellent! We were in the covered patio section and it was very cold so a bit of a point off for that. But the server, Brett was excellent and the food and drinks were good. They got cold very quickly because the space was very cold but I did love the ambiance. I would go back. The menu was intriguing.

Excellent service and tasty food. It was cold where we were seated. We were at the front with only plastic windows between us and the outdoors. They offered to move us but we need a spot with seats that had backs. Overall we enjoyed and will return.
