We stopped in for a couple drinks after dinner at the Greek Fest so can’t comment on the food. Loved the vibe and relaxed atmosphere. Drinks are expensive, but we’re unique and delicious. Our bartender last night was attentive and good at his job. Perfect for a relaxing night cap!

Reagan was an amazing server. Generally the food was good, but the succatash was overcooked, the Yukon potato mash is a defenite not-again. Not sure if it was cream or cheese, but the general concensus was that it looked terrible and tasted to match. The unbreaded tenderloin sandwich we had to send back. It looked like leather and anything but edible or appetizing.

The food and drinks at this location were amazing! The service was incredible. Deena was the bartender (supervisor) while I was there and she made the best Old Fashioned this side of the Mississippi! She also recommended the red velvet cake and caramel cheesecake which both were absolutely incredible and paired well with the espresso martini! 10/10 will visit again next time I’m in town!

Teresa was our server while we met to celebrate our birthdays and she went out of her way to give excellent service. She was very attentive and really made our birthdays special. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very calm and lovely. Will be back soon!

Second time here but forgot to review first. Food was solid, service and drinks at bar were fantastic. Second time here, upon arriving, the bartenders asked us if we would like two complimentary margaritas. They were experimenting with the holiday drink menu and gave us a toasted marshmallow margarita and a salted Carmel margarita with cinnamon rim. Sounded strange but really worked! Also the Coachman smoked old fashioned is awesome with pecan bitters. We really enjoy this place and definitely recommend.
