I entered and was shown the bar area. It was the bar and two long tables. The bar had 4 stools but the tables had one stool to share between them. It looked like they got robbed and the thieves made off with the stools. I stood at a bar table making eye contact with every server that passed by for ten minutes with no service. I stopped one of them and they told me I needed to order at the bar. That would have been nice to know ten minutes ago.

I moved to the bar and the bartender immediately acknowledged me. He, and the food are why this place gets 4 stars. It would have been 2 if he didn't turn it around. He is a craft cocktail artist and his knowledge and mixology skills are commendable. The polenta fries were presented well but lacking flavor. The salmon poke was really good.

Servers and host could be friendlier and more helpful.
