Great food. great service. The only thing that could have been better is not being sat at the 2 top table next to the host stand by the front door - too many interruptions/ distractions from our dinner. We will definitely come here for dinner again.

The food and service was incredible!! Came here for birthday dinner and they hit it out of the park. Only downside, we were seated way too close to another table and could hear their conversation over ours and my boyfriend couldn’t back his chair up as they were too close. Wish the tables were a little farther apart. We would definitely go back though.

The food and service were excellent. However, it was too loud in there and we could barely hear each other. Also, we were seated right in front of the door n every time the door opened, a cold draft hit us and it was a bit uncomfortable.

The menu is varied and interesting and, without exception, beautifully presented and prepared. Service is impeccable. A welcome change to the more 'standard' menus seen so often recently, but with a variety of choices that will please most everyone. A favorite!
