Went for my anniversary and overall it was great. The staff were attentive and the vibes definitely fit with the occasion. Food was great, tried something new such as escargot and steak tar tar. For me it was okay I wanted to try it but to others it’s probably better, Still was fun to try. Live music so it was a bit loud and hard to hear my boyfriend but it was still a fun experience. Expected to pay a lot more than I did so that was a surprise to see. I’d definitely go there again to try more of their menu.
