first time here. food was so good - way beyond expectations! not many seating options as far as standard vs high top which is my only complaint. despite being busy food and drinks came out fast and everything was delicious. live music was an added treat. nice, low key, neighborhood vibe with quality of food way above the ambience honestly. this is great because i am low key, not into dressing up too much and the menu is extensive and unique and the ingredients were high quality and very fresh. definitely will be back.
