We were there on a Monday, and it was relatively quiet. Our waiter was quick to bring menus and take drink orders. The food was delicious. One of the dishes ordered came to the table wrong but was quickly fixed. Did seem to wait between finishing dinner and waiting for a dessert menu. Overall a place we'll definitely go back to.

Kudos to one of the best bartenders ever, Kim, thank you for some really wonderful drinks consistently! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The staff makes you feel like part of the family.
