    Unique atmosphere and awesome menu, including great options for kids. Loved the live music and volume was reasonable. Lots of fun cocktails, service felt slow at times but also nice not to be rushed. Will definitely be back to try more of the large menu.

    We had a fantastic time with the services of an amazing waitress. I forgot her name, but she had another employee with her in training. We asked for a slice of cheesecake for my sister visiting from. Cape Cod and the waitress delived on point.

    The service was very good, I was just disappointed in our brunch meals. Some of the orders seemed like they were kept warm under warming lights. The presentation was low grade. I’m disappointed mostly because I had eaten at this restaurant in their old location in Hartford and it was amazing. Maybe it was just a bad day.

    This restaurant was just"o.k." Not a place I'd be going again to be honest. It was a very average restaurant.Food wasn't out of the ballpark. If I had choice to go to a restaurant I've never been to or go here, I'd try another new restaurant I've never been to.
