The atmosphere was nice. We initially requested patio seating, but due to an event it was closed until halfway through our meal. We were moved to a nice patio location after finishing our starters. Overall, the experience was good, but more than 1 day notice regarding patio availability would have been nice.

What a great hidden gem this is! They have an outstanding array of liquors and signature drinks. Jordan, the bartender, was phenomenal. Not only was he personable, but he mixes a mean cocktail (a necessity before dinner). We’ll definitely be back.
