Unfortunately we were in the restaurant when there were a bunch of lively 20 year olds filling the tables. It was very noisy! It was hard to have conversations at our table with the 6 of us. I was assured by the server (who was lovely) that it was not normally like this midweek! The food is always amazing, so it’s worth going back :)
