Wonderful food and service! It was a little bit noisy but not overbearing. The two-person tables are a little bit cramped together. But the food was delicious and well-seasoned. The butter cake dessert was fantastic as well. Our server was very attentive and upbeat. Overall a great experience that made for a wonderful date night - we 100% would go again.

The food was great. However, since went on a holiday, the service was really slow. I would usually be okay with this, but I think everyone around me was saying similar things and having similar experiences.
