Fantastic! My husband and I went here for my birthday dinner and boy am I glad we did. Upon telling the hostess it was my birthday, the manager came out with an entire bottle of champagne on the house. Such a nice gesture! We shared a bunch of the small plates and every single thing was absolutely delicious. Needless to say the cocktails were delicious as well! Great experience, we would go here again and again. If you haven’t been yet, make a reservation immediately! 10/10
