Best bar in town for middle aged+ to hang out, eat great food, and listen to live music.

Voted best chef of the year the food is amazing the staff is very professional best choice for any catering events

Chef Lino is one of the BEST chef's in town. I've enjoyed everything that has come out of his kitchen. Never disappointed. I will continue to come here for as long as he is here for good food. Not to mention Alberto is one of thee best bartenders. Alberto crafts wonderful drinks that play well on the pallet, he truly creates magic. If you have not been here before, I HIGHLY recommend you visit this bar and grill.

Was very excited to try here for my birthday. Very disappointed with the atmosphere since the dishes are so nice and higher end. this was a very loud bar and we were confused if we were at the right place. went outside and it was old chipped tables and plastic chairs. at least we could talk. Lights were a nice touch. A proper dining area would have been nice.Steaks were very good, got the flank steak chimichuri which was good, very tender. Was thinking it would be green based vs a red onion base it seemed. So that was a bit lacking with the sauce and it lacked depth. Asparagus very good. Fries okay. Bit high price for what you get though.I had the beef Wellington and the filet was great. But overall again lacking in.. something special. pastry a bit thin and got soggy although the sauce with it was nice. Mushrooms and the layer in between was unnoticeable. Spinach lacked flavor but was too salty.. and I like salt.Lobster Thermidor was very salty to the point almost couldn't eat it. drowned out the natural sweetness of the lobster. This was probably the most disappointing dish. Overall cooked pretty well. but did not enjoy the flavor.Mashed potatoes were okay.Server seemed bored, annoyed and unfriendly. Checked on us once. never filled water. Made for a bit downer of a vibe.Unfortunately we will not be returning although there were other dishes on the menu that looked good.

The food is amazing!!!! ??

Excellent food, really good service.

Super bomb and undiscovered spot definitely eat here

I have never had a bad meal when I go eat and Chef Lino is cooking. Anything from street tacos to a filet mignon has been amazing! I highly recommend eating at his spot in the Pour House or his new restaurant downtown, you won’t be disappointed
