To drink, we ordered the Tank Mill Street Haze Phaze, which was crisp, smooth, and very refreshing. The Passion Palmer Mocktail and Raspberry Dragon Fruit No-Jito were both beautifully presented and packed with flavor ..not overly sweet, just perfectly balanced and refreshing.
For our appetizer, we had the Chili Coconut Calamari, and it was excellent. The calamari was lightly battered and crispy without being greasy, and the chili coconut flavor added a unique sweet-and-spicy twist that really stood out. It was a great way to start the meal.
For mains, we ordered the Teriyaki Rice Bowl, Truffle & Shrimp Rigatoni, and the 8oz Sirloin. The Teriyaki Rice Bowl was flavorful and satisfying, with a nice balance of sauce and fresh ingredients. The Truffle & Shrimp Rigatoni was rich and creamy with perfectly cooked shrimp and a delicious truffle aroma that wasn’t overpowering. The 8oz Sirloin was cooked just right, tender, and well-seasoned.
The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a family celebration. Even though it was a holiday and quite busy, the service was excellent. A special thank you to Emily, who was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening.
Overall, we had a fantastic first visit and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend for a family dinner or special occasion!
Their menu had something that pleased everyone. The pricing is reasonable and the service was awesome on this stormy night. Our waitress was fun, easy to joke and chat with, and attentive to all of us in her section.
We tried their Pistachio Crusted Salmon, Whiskey Peppercorn New York Steak, and the Grilled Chicken Club.
Every choice tasted wonderful and the plates were cleaned off, but we likely won’t redo the Whiskey Peppercorn sauce or the Pistachio crusted topping; neither hit the spot for us. I must add though that the salmon and the steak were cooked to perfection!
But I enjoyed the ambiance and the excellent service I received from the servers there.
Worthwhile place to visit again to explore other dishes.
The Pretzel Bites were a great start—soft, warm, and perfectly salted, paired with a delicious beer cheese dip that had just the right amount of tang. The Baja Fish Tacos were fresh and flavorful, with crispy battered fish, creamy avocado, and a crunchy slaw. They came with fries, which were tasty and paired well with the garlic aioli, though the portion of fries was on the smaller side.
The Main burger was a solid classic—two juicy patties, melty cheese, and a nice balance of toppings. The Grilled Chicken Club was another standout, especially with the addition of avocado and peppered bacon, which gave it a nice savory punch.
Service was friendly and attentive throughout, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. We’d definitely come back—especially for that aioli!
Unfortunately, my nearly $40 steak had absolutely no seasoning, which was disappointing given the price point. When dessert was offered, again there was no mention of a birthday.
The bill came to nearly $200, and the tip options were automatically set to 18%, 20%, or 22%. For that cost and a $30+ tip, I expect better attention to detail—especially something as simple as acknowledging a celebration noted on the reservation. With better communication and more consistency in food quality, this could have been a much stronger experience.
Good Food
Excellent Ambience for Dinner
Love the Music
Thanks for the Flowers
However, something strange happened during our visit. The staff asked us to pay the bill right when they brought the food to the table. It felt a bit weird because usually, you get the check after you finish eating!
