The menu has a lot of options for most tastes from casual to more sophisticated entrees. The wine list was nice and the prices reasonable. (our wine was just 50% over wine store prices which is a rarity these days. The service was just right; pleasant and not over done. Thanks to SamB's we'll be back.

We had a very pleasant experience! Our waiter was a little busy, but other staff were happy to step in and greet us and get our drink orders in. We were happy with all of the food we got, Korean Pork Tacos were a stand out for us. Our waiter was engaging but it didn’t feel like they were bothering us incessantly for no reason. And when we opened our drink menu, there was a little card saying happy anniversary which was a nice touch. Will definitely come back for another date night in the future!

The wife and I split a pizza and some wings. All was delicious, cooked to perfection, and quick. We were with some friends and after dinner, we paid our bill and then moved over to the bar area for a drink and some additional conversation. We had a wonderful dining experience with friends.
