    Fantastic experience from the moment we sat down! Sebastian was engaging and his hospitality was top notch. The food was a phenomenal experience in both presentation, flavor and texture! No detail was over looked. One of our favorite surprises was choosing our unique chopstick holders.

    The food was delicious. Service was great! I do think it’s a bit overpriced for the portion sizing but still good and we would return. I believe our waiters name was Galo. He was great!

    one of the great ones. will be missed. We loved your restaurant. We will miss is. We went on Saturday and had the last of the many great dinners we had there. Best burger, best potato latkes, cornbread. Just so sad about it. It was one of the few places that you could go and have a great meal in a town where its either a club restaurant or a fast food chain, nothing in between. I wish we had gone to Blue Collar more often.
