Very pleased! Our server (Nice Blond girl who worked at El Guapo) was fantastic - I was very surprised to learn it was one of her first days. Food was good - We got the butter beef, bang bang and two vodka pastas. Ambiance was nice and the patio was nice albeit a little loud. But what else can be expected of a Friday night. Would 100% recommend.

The server and manager on that night made me feel so special on my graduation. They gave me complimentary champagne and a cute congratulations card. The food was incredible and the service was even better!

stopped in for a sunday lunch & every thing was fantastic. the tuna tartare was so fresh & yummy. the mussels were covered in a spicy tomato based sauce & loved the added kick as i typically really enjoy spicy food. only criticism would be too much dressing on the baby gem salad, it was very tasty but would ask for light dressing next time. restaurant was very clean and inviting & would definitely recommend/dine again!

Amazing food and amazing service. The service was very fast too, not much just waiting around for your server to come to your table
