Definitely a place to eat where the ambiance will be enjoyed. The seating areas are both outdoor/indoor and a nice amount of seating at a fully stocked bar, as well. The service is excellent, and all the times I've been, the waitstaff have always been very friendly and attentive. The decor is a marriage between rustic-reclaimed and what feels like contemporary asian accents. Indoor fireplace and heaters ensures even those prone to the chill are nicely accommodated. Parking is what you would expect from that area, and while they used to offer valet service, I didn't see any attendants in my most recent visit, so call to verify. Otherwise, plan ahead and expect to take a leisurely stroll to get there after finding public parking, or Uber/Lyft there. I would suggest making reservations for parties larger than two people. Keep in mind, this is a very pet-friendly establishment, and I have seen some always very well behaved dogs and their owners present every time I've been there, so those with allergies should be cautious. Along with that, I have never seen pet hair built up or lying about, so they do a great job of keeping the dining areas clean. The food itself, is okay, nothing spectacular. Prices range from $11 and up for entrees. My party of 2 paid $45 and some change (not including tip) for the Short Rib Skillet and The Chorizo Skillet and soda. So I don't have high expectations foodwise. They do have handcrafted cocktails, making it an ideal place to meet a few friends for happy hour.
