Had a wonderful dining experience here. We came for lunch on their patio, as we brought our little dog. We were seated immediately and the waiter asked if we wanted a bowl of water for our little guy. Service was very good and the food was outstanding. Highly recommend their patio if you like to dine with your doggie. One of very few nice local restaurants that allow dogs on their patio.

The restaurant and bar were very uncrowded yet service was just so-so. The food and wine and cocktails were great. Hoping to go back another time to give it another try.
