    This is a lovely restaurant which works well for getting a before play dinner since it's a short drive from Bass Concert Hall. Their service is a bit more relaxed than suits me, since it makes me a little anxious about finishing a great dinner and leaving so that we have plenty of time to get parked and walk over to the play. This is our 2nd visit for such an occasion and both times the food offerings have been intriguingly delicious and plentiful. The atmosphere was again quite lovely and very conducive to conversations. We tried parking in the City Hall parking since it validates at any time of day, but it is not as convenient as the AMLI parking garage on 2nd, which only validates parking until 4. We'll definitely return in the future. Thanks, Cathy Martin

    Always a great experience! Fresh, flavorful, and healthy gluten-free options that never disappoint. The coconut curry squash with chicken and waygu were delicious, and the drinks were refreshing. Friendly service and a perfect spot for to take the family.
