I live in the area and kept passing by this restaurant. So I decided to take my sister here for her birthday! The food we had was really good. Would highly recommend this place.

The food is phenomenal. They were over on 2nd Ave for years, and recently moved to this location on first. We picked up a bottle of wine (savings!) and were able to bring it in (because byob). Service was quick and courteous. Recommended!
