  Food was surprisingly good for a bar/pub type place. Would absolutely come back for dinner but be forewarned the music gets turned up in the evening & the place becomes more of a straight up bar. Great atmosphere though, just can get surprisingly loud if you started by enjoying a leisurely dinner and then find yourself suddenly in a bar with the music blasting.

  My friends and I came here for restaurant week and had a great experience! The restaurant week menu was shot! I started with the margarita bruschetta. Definitely well flavored and crushed it. Next I got the grilled flank steak and it was made to order. Brussel sprouts were also a hit! Last I had the brownie sundae! It was good but I wish it was warmed up. I didn’t ask though so can’t hold that against them. The service was great! We sat at the bar and got great service. I love the placements you get when you order food from the bar. I forget what drink I got but I was satisfied with that as well. I would definitely visit here again. Parking is like street parking. There was a steady flow of people so we were happy to grab seats at the bar. I think seating here is first done first serve so it can work in your favor or against you.

  Pleasant surprise! I came here while waiting for our escape room to begin and it happened to be happy hour. The food was pretty good and the music was on point. We ordered the crab dip and the nachos without the pork. Our bartender/waiter John was great...very kind and personable. I definitely plan on returning.

  Reviews were interesting so I marked this as a want to try on my map. I coincidentally ate here after walking in here when intending to eat next door. I checked out the menu and was interested to stay and try the Cubana sandwich. Host was friendly and after I decided I wanted to stay and asked for a table, he took me upstairs to a table. Wait staff stopped by promptly and I was able to order. Not sure if I missed something, but it turned out to be bar service, so I had no service rest of the evening. I went to the bar to pay for dinner and leave. Upstairs is a bar area, but when I ask for a table, I expected table service. I should have just sat at the bar. I understand this COVID world is difficult to find help. The doorman was reading his job description when I arrived and the wait staff that took my order said she had started only a few hours ago. And they would not take my first credit card - strange issue and staff being new I suppose didn't want to figure it out so I just used a less convenient card. The Cubana sandwich was good. French fries were decent. The sandwich had tender pulled pork with crispy pickles. I was served pretty quickly but yet the sandwich roll was fairly soggy. All in all, I would try this establishment again, despite the weird and ineffective service. For brand new staff just coming on to the job, I suppose it was ok. Looks like a great place to take a group of friends/coworkers.
