You gotta go!

My husband and I went here on their $4 wine night. (Which is a Wednesday) We aren't that much of wine drinkers but our waitress, Leigh, was great and recommended wines based off what we told her. They spaced out our food just right. As far as the food goes, my husband had the mixed grill and it was phenomenal. I had a few different tapas which is like mini dishes or appetizers. Although they aren't the cheapest place around and we honestly didn't mind the cost. But if you wanna go somewhere that can be both romantic and/or go with some friends, I would go here. The place itself isn't huge, which honestly didn't bother us a bit. It was very quaint and the decor is lovely. Their music was the bomb! All and all the food and service was great and I would definitely recommend going there. We sure will!!

My boyfriend and I went here for a date night. On wednesdays they have $4 glasses of wine. The waitress recommended a great wine based on what told her I liked. The restaurant is small and quaint inside. Our waitress was Jessica and she was wonderful. She made great recommendations for food and took good care of us. Food was outstanding, especially the crab Wellington. Can get a $5 coupon on their website for signing up to receive emails. Will definitely go here again.
