    Took my wife here last night and it was a hit. Great food, great service, and dog-friendly, which already puts it ahead of most places. She had the ribeye with potato puree and broccolini. The steak was cooked perfectly, the potatoes were creamy, and the broccolini was done just right—not soggy, not raw. She also got an Old Fashioned that was an awesome treat. I went with the miso-glazed cod. Fantastic dish. Cooked perfectly with the umami flavor I was hoping for. The whole plate was put together really well. We finished with the brown butter donuts. Those did not stay on the table for very long. Would go back.

    Excellent dinner yesterday night. My buddy had the ahi that was fried on the outside but sashimi rare in the middle. I had the fillet medallions with scallops on garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious!

    Excellent food and service. The outside is quirky and doesnt match the interior and the food, but this place was awesome. We had great coctails, the Rib eye which came out piping hot, french onion soup was solid and the anniversary dessert that they gave us was excellent. We aren't from there, but we will definetly be going back next time we are in town!
