Good happy hour and food menu. Excellent staff. It wasn't that crowded when we went. We ordered pretty much everything on the happy hour menu and the sea bass. We will definitely be back.

Went for a date night with my husband. We had been here periodically over the years since we had our first date there. The staff were attentive and welcoming. There was live music by a young lady singing and playing on a keyboard - she was amazing. The food was delicious, the presentation was better than I recalled. They also were running an April special discount that took off a percentage of the bill.
