A little tricky to find but well worth the effort. Open table directions takes you somewhere else so please look on Google maps for location. Service started off a little shaky as they seemed to be understaffed slightly however finished strong in the end. Food was fantastic all around though. Got the speak with chef after and thanked for delightful meal. Maybe some fans around the patio area to keep air moving would be appreciated. We would return in future. Thank you for great meal.
