"Tucked away - but in a good way- for a decent lunch that doesn't break the bank. Food decent, and
excellent service with personable waitstaff and warm inviting decor make for a perfect lunch spot.

"The place is nice.
Even though the music was pretty loud, it was good music, so it made up for it.
It did take awhile for our waitress to come to even greet us, but the place was also very packed, since it was happy hour.
The food was definitely yummy and the drinks were delicious once we finally got to order.
I'd go again in the near future.

"Service was extremely slow, our meal never came and we had to leave for a business meeting so we asked for our food to go.. they brought the wrong food to go - twice! They should be used to business people coming for lunch and only having one hour as that is the majority of their clientele. Not a god experience."
