Overall was disappointing experience, ambient was nice but food was expensive underwhelming to the point that we didn’t eat. Risotto undercooked and super salty.. and desert so chewy was inedible. As for service all though everyone was super nice, was veeeery slow.

Gets very loud and overpacked suitable for after work hang outs but not most suitable for business meetings during end of the day hours

We went for DineLa lunch. On the dineLa website it says mom - sub for lunch and dinner dineLa menus. When we got there, they said they don’t do it on the weekends and they wouldn’t honor it. :( we had a great lunch but the service was not the best either. Kind of a bummer.

I like the inside/outside dining the noise level was very low. Food and service were excellent. It's off the well worn path but definately worth a visit.
