My husband and I had dinner there as our first date night in almost a year. We'd never tried it before and this place did not disappoint. We didn't make reservations and the place was full so we were seated downstairs in the party room. That turned out to be good because it was quiet and still a nice intimate atmosphere. Our server Alaina was very sweet and composed even though the whole place was hopping. The food was amazing. My husband has a pomegranate whiskey sour, a genuine drink with pomegranate seeds and egg whites. The calamari app was scrumptious and the accompanying pineapple and onion side was delightful. For entrees we had duck Mac&cheese and lamb gnocchi, both were very good. The whole meal was $100, not bad for an adventurous special occasion dinner out with delightful staff all around, nice atmosphere, and scrumptious food in every regard. We'll definitely be returning.

Great spot in a busy college town for a date night or night out with friends! Fun atmosphere, well lit and clean so you don't feel like there is anything to hide or dirt lurking in all the corners. Staff was knowledgeable and fun to interact with. Drinks were great and came out quickly, everything was fresh. Great food options and we started with a top of apps or shareables so we could try lots. There are many rotating menu items and I suggest starting there. Street parking can be a little crowded so plan ahead and reservations are a good idea especially if you are coming in with a larger party.

This place is wonderful! It has a great atmosphere and really nice workers. The food is a little overpriced, but for the atmosphere, it's worth it. I would definitely recommend taking a friend or date to this place!
