Wonderful experience! The drinks, the food & the service were all top notch. If I had to give one small critique it would be about the signature'knuckles' entree. It's very good but not good enough to be a signature dish. Also it was extremely salty.
Having said that, would def go back to try everything else!

Great find! The food was amazing, the staff was excellent, & the atmosphere was terrific!
On the pricier side, but the best meal we had on our month-long trip.
