Pricey, which would be OK if the experience measured up... They have a couch, tables and chairs crowding the area you would normally dance. Band is way too loud for anyone to sit there. Why have a band that plays dance music with sparse room to dance? Girls want to dance, guys want to dance with girls and no one thinks to make room for that? I brought THREE girls here and met FOUR more on the premise of a great band and night of dancing. Theyve made me look bad several times Ive dropped $200+. Ggrrrr.... How about a great fireplace that isnt lit in February? 3 tables marked reserved for over an hour while were standing up and spending money at an overcrowded bar. Finally, I said something and a light bulb went off. Duh? Food is good and inventive. Service is slow but maybe they just dont staff enough the nights I go (?) They really do have what it takes, but Ive been there several times (always for the band) and they just cant seem to get it together for more than 3 stars.

Horrible experience last night. We went with the Groupon deal. There was no hostess, we stood by the bar for a good 5 minutes before we were even acknowledged. Seated all the way in the back downstairs no big deal. Waitress took 20 min to come over and ask us for drinks and give water. With the Groupon you are supposed to get 2 drinks @$9 each. We were offered only house wine, bottles of Budweiser or Miller, and speed racked mixed drinks. I asked for something on tap and was told its not included or absolute or stoli vodka again not included. Appetizer did not come out of the kitchen for over an hour. Out dinners 45 minutes after that. The server was appoligizing for the wait but said the kitchen was all backed up because of a party upstairs. You should not be sacrificing your whole restaurant for one party. Add more wait staff or kitchen staff. We wanted to try desert but there was no way we were going to sit there another 45 minutes to wait for some chocolate to come out.

Energizing vibe, interesting plating and some really rich, yet delicate flavors - but: We asked for the Rack of Lamb to be done medium well and 2 of the 4 chops were spot on. But the other 2 were raw. Not only did it take a while to get the waiters attention to let him know, but his response was "Ill let the chef know." Fifteen minutes later he returned to take our plates and never said a word about the two remaining chops. We had the chocolate peanut butter fondue for dessert and we werent impressed. It tasted simply like melted Reese Peanut Butter Cups - no additional taste layers at all. The tidbits that were supplied for dipping came off as leftovers with no uniformity of size. 1/2" banana slices, irregular bits of strawberries, full-size marshmallows, stale pieces of pound cake and stick pretzels. Were not going back.

I love this place! The concept is great. The first floor is a quiet restaurant and the upstairs is a lounge (also serves food) with live music. I had dinner downstairs first. The Lobster Ravioli was amazing and to date, the best Ive had. The lobster mac and cheese was very tasty and they were very generous on the lobster. I just wish it had the crunchy bread crumbs on top. We had 2 of the appetizer specials which I enjoyed and I am one for presentation and the plating presentation was excellent. In addition, the mussels are amazing and a must order! After eating, we went upstairs for a drink. It has a nice vibe and the live music (which I was not expecting) was great. The space would be great for a private party. 5 stars for a unique concept and great experience overall.

Not a wine bar. Not good food. Cant speak for downstairs as we were seated upstairs with dingy gray walls. Felt like I was in a bachelors basement. Nobody knew anything about wine, the glasses were cheap and dirty I felt residue on my stem)and the wine was hot. Not even room temp - it was hot. Also heard waiters speaking incorrectly about wine facts and info when asked by other tables. Food was disappointing. The flatbread was grilled soggy pita and I couldnt even make out the ingredients knowing what they were. Would not go back. Honestly would prefer take out chinese at home to the dining experience I had.

they insulted my intelligence by trying to pass off a beef hamburger as a lambburger, then when I asked for the small plate lamb chops with baby greens salad and maple bacon vinaigrette, all i could taste was the maple syrup they drowned the salad in. Chops were barely seasoned or seared, and rubbery to boot. To their credit the server was amply embarrased at the kitchen, and the manager did not charge me for that food.

I came here with a Groupon. It was a prefixed menu with 2 appetizers and 4 entrees for 4 people. It was a rainy Tuesday evening, so not many customers. The food was excellent though. I really recommend the skirt steak. It was amazing, it was too hard and was nice and tender. The calamari was also amazing. I would definitely come back!

What a wonderful experience! Took my son (24th Birthday), his girlfriend and my mom there tonight for the first time. We each ordered something different and everyone was delighted! This is definitely our new special occasion go to place! The food was out of this world and the wait staff delightful!!

Went here last week to see Schroeders Ghost perform and ended up eating dinner. The lobster ravioli was delicious with big chunks of lobster tossed in with the pasta. The waitperson was extremely affable and lovely. I would recommend this place to someone looking for a good place to take a date.

Very disappointed with service for a party of 11. had to wait for about 2 hours to be served and the food was not hot. at the end they offered us 10% discount. Completely unacceptable...then the manager fought with us. Terrible customer service. Our waitress was lovely and kind though.

Great dinner! The calamari and pork dumpling with Asian bbq was fantastic. The skirt steak with coffee demi was delicious and cooked perfectly. Our server Kyle was professional and had a great personality. Wonderfull experience!

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Food and service were outstanding! My wife and I started a list of people we want to bring there. Cant wait till next visit!

This is a very small and narrow restaurant, with pub style seating for dinner. Although the space is a bit claustrophobic they somehow manage to provide live music.

Went for Halloween. Band was good. Service ok. Long and narrow. Not best upstairs for live music.
