    Would give 3.5 stars. Was really looking fwd to trying this place and was a little disappointed. Floor was a little greasy, restaurant was loud. Our waitress told us we could order both courses and they would space it out. They did not. Brought our entrees while we were just starting our first course. Mixed reviews on the entrees. Burger was good, scallops special was pretty bland. May give it another shot but don’t feel a strong desire.

    The patio was extremely quiet, no music playing so it felt a little weird. Food was good though!

    The monthly Alqueria wine pairing menu was excellent. Each dinner introduces new foods and wines. Always an enjoyable evening to experience and share.

    First time diners at this restaurant. Had a martini that really was not good. Just wasted some Bombay gin on that one. Food was pretty good. The lamb shank was surprisingly sweet but not too sweet. I'm told the buttermilk fried chicken was great. Looked great. Will probably have on my next visit. Our appetizer, the whipped ricotta and flatbread, was good but could have used more flatbread. Quantity was just a little off. Again, the falatbread was surprisingly sweet. Desserts were great. We'll be back.

    One of my favorite restaurants. Food & drinks are always good, specials are creative. Love that it's a smaller restaurant with great staff. Their fried chicken and Brussel sprouts are the best!!
