We were there for happy hour. The service was good, so were the drinks. The food was okay, like the last place I went to, the happy hour food looked better on paper. The atmosphere is fine, the place is open and comfortable but doesn't absorb sound that well. We sat by the window so it was fine. If your idea of happy hour is mostly drinks then this is a nice place to be. - Cindy L
