    Good location. Really interesting menu. Very good food. Friendly service. If only it didn't look like a 70's diner!

    Fabulous and tiny, simple with live music ranging from smoky jazz to Beatles covers, good beer & decent harder alcohol selections.

    Great crabcake sandwich but the soup was cold and the service slow even at an off hour... but sounds like a raucous party upstairs in the bar area
