Good food, awesome DJ and pretty good sound system. Nice place for a date and karaoke.

I have eaten here three times and all three times I ordered the Spunky Monkey Pasta with blackened salmon. It has always been delicious with fresh broccoli, yellow squash and a really big piece of salmon. The cream sauce is nice and light. The staff is wonderful! I love eating this meal, along with a porter or red wine.

good atmosphere good food great staff and shout out to DJ Chris thank you for spotting me they go out of their way to make you feel welcome a solid 5 star found my new favorite bar.
