We recently hosted a school fundraising event and could not be happier. From day 1 Elisa was responsive, helpful and just amazing to work with. The guests were blown away by it all.

Really tasty and friendly local bar. A bit loud and busy on a Tuesday night, but a great experience. They were hosting trivia when we went, and seems like a great place to go and get a few drinks, even on a weeknight. Portions were very filling, was stuffed after splitting an entree and appetizer. Will definitely be coming back!
