    We could only get reservations at the bar which normally would be great. The bar tender/server was very pushy on rushing us to pick something. From drinks to food very pushy on hurrying us which made me feel like I didn’t get to choose exactly what I wanted so he would get off our backs. I don’t like to linger but wanted to choose a good drink and entree but it’s a bit hard when someone asks you every couple minutes have you decided? What are you looking for? I did say nothing particular, I just wanted to browse the choices … It just kind of ruined the experience for some fantastic food. He needs to chill, people go to restaurants for the ambiance and experience. Otherwise I would have just gotten take out or go to a fast food restaurant.

    Our first visit- Fabulous food, a cozy setting and an excellent wine list made for a wonderful evening meal with friends. Service was good, though we had to ask twice for a couple of items. Highly recommend.
