    The food was excellent! Everything came out in a timely matter and was cooked to perfection. There were a few times where we were searching for our server, but the food runner and bus were on top of it. We did the unlimited tops and will definitely be back

    As a party of six, we knew it would be hard in the space to hear one another as this is a more intimate kind of table setting restaurant, which we love too. As the restaurant cleared out, it was easier to hear each other, but the ambiance, the food, and the service made this evening lovely. Overall, we were treated with top notch service, the menu offering was remarkably interesting and varied so we all had the opportunity to try each others choices. The service team was very professional, very attentive, and despite being very busy, took the time with us for questions, etc.
