We finally made it here after years of walking by the door! The restaurant is much larger than it looks from the outside. Beautiful decor, great service, live music, and fantastic menu. We got lucky and were seated in the back room with a view!

Fantastic service, as always. The restaurant was full but service was attentive and timely. Incredible experience all around, with the sunset view giving us a lovely setting for talking. Though the room was full, with the music our conversation felt private and intimate.
