Company Holiday Party Tip - Visit and look at the space before you book it! We booked over the phone for our group of 22. When we arrived for the party, the L Shaped partially roped off area was not as large or private as we had expected. Through lots of conversations with management, we got what we needed and we had a great time.

Great restaurant located near the waterfront. There is street parking located in front of the restaurant and garage parking located in the same building as the restaurant. It was free to park but not sure if that was because we came during the day and at lunch time. The host was very accommodating when we had to change our reservation time due to traffic and also changed our seating to accommodate a person in our party could not sit at a high top table due to knee issues. The space is so much larger inside than it appears from outside. There were several large parties of 6 or more dining there when we arrived and what looked like an office party also there in a smaller space set off yo the side. We never felt like it was too crowded or we were rushed in our dining experience. Our server was attentive. The food and drinks came out in a timely manner again especially since they had several large parties to serve. We loved the holiday theme decor. We had an overall great experience and we were glad we finally made it to see the restaurant all decked out in it's holiday decor. Would love yo come back and enjoy the rooftop.

Actually 4.5 stars cause the menu is not up-to-date on OpenTable and I wanted to get the seafood platter for two and it wasn't available anymore. The ambience is extremely Christmas and contemporary. It's definitely a younger place trendy place. The non-alcohol beer was excellent. It's an IPA and I usually don't like those but I like theirs. The food was amazing. My wife had the short ribs and I had the seafood Pasta in a lobster sauce, which was incredible. Service was spot on. He was there when you wanted him to be there or not when you didn't. The only thing they didn't do is bring bread at the beginning of the meal. $$$ **** 1/2

The place is always clean and beautiful inside! The staff is friendly most of the time, but slow and I mean sluggishly so and forgetful even when there's barely any patrons. The food: Crunchy French toast - 4 out of 5 Chicken and waffles Benedict - 4 out of 5 Crème brûlée - 4 out of 5 Home fries - 3.5 out of 5 Overall, the food is pretty good. The music is loud in here so it's not intimate but it is a fun place to go. They have some decent drink deals and this place is pretty solid! I've gone a couple times and both times the food has been on point. The service just needs to tighten up.!

I came here for my birthday dinner! What a great experience. From the decorations to the service, it was one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. From the moment we walked in the staff were nothing but fantastic! Our server Kimberly was amazing. She was extremely kind and gave off such positive vibes and warmth. She was extremely attentive and one of the best servers I've had. The manager Steve was great too! We started with a huge drink to share. I believe it was the Gummie Bear. It was so tasty! We ordered a few appetizers. The crispy calamari, the crispy brussel sprouts, and a spicy crab roll. All were fresh and delicious - cooked perfectly. I normally don't go for a pork chop, but this one caught my eye, so I went for it. It 100 percent, did not disappoint. Pan Roasted Berkshire Pork Chop : 14oz - agrodolce bbq glaze, vegetables,  and garlic mashed potatoes. Cooked perfectly! The chop was huge! It was so full of flavor and very moist. The menu is great! So many different options. We had such a great time here! This is how a restaurant should always be great food, great service, and great vibes. Thank you for a great birthday dinner. We will definitely be back!
