Had a great dinner here! We sat at the bar and Bobby the bartender was super helpful with recommendations. We tried the watercress salad (delicious and fresh), the fish cake appetizer (so good) and the spicy wings. The portions of the appetizers are plenty to share. The atmosphere is perfect for date night or just a casual dinner with friends! - Talia Karasinski
