That was our first time in the restaurant. it was near the dr. phillips pac, which is why we decided to try. the place was 80% bar and 20% restaurant. eating was quite casual and the menu was limited. I had an orzo veggie pasta and an Italian salate. both were very good. my man had a burger and liked him very much. not complaining. what made our time less pleasant in the restaurant was the very loud bar crowd and the still loud sounding music. I am sure that the amount that protects this place enjoys all this, but it was simply not right for us. There is an interesting outside area that might have been nice to try if it had not been such a cold night.

This restaurant is a fantastic spot for brunch. If you haven't checked it out yet, what are you waiting for? The food, staff, and music were all fantastic.

The food was extremely dry, like the Sahara desert! Avoid the steak skewers at all costs, as they were so dry I had to ask for more water after just one bite. One of the cooks even came out to inform my friend that they had dropped his shrimp scampi dish, resulting in an additional 30 minute wait for his meal. The staff did not offer any compensation for the delay. We arrived at 8pm and the restaurant was empty, making us wonder how long the wait would be if it were busy. The margarita I ordered was so weak that it actually sobered me up. It's clear why people don't come here for dinner - they should focus on improving their bar instead of their restaurant in order to attract more customers and receive better reviews. Avoid this place at all costs!

We had a great experience at this restaurant until a rude bartender threw away our drinks without any explanation. Despite the previous excellent service from the other bartenders, this one individual ruined our experience. The manager also supported the rude bartender without understanding the situation. I will not be returning to this establishment due to the disrespectful treatment we received.

Had the best time for wine on Wednesday. Our waiter/bartender Malcolm did a great job. He made us drinks as we like them with some extra touch.
