    It started off above the normal with getting notified that our table was ready. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I needed special help with my celiac disease, and they were knowledgeable about what was going to be needed to be modified for me. The food was very fresh and was prepared with extra care to keep it authentic. As a result, everything tasted great. We also enjoyed the ambiance of the place. We look forward to going back. The prices were on the higher side, but expected with the level of service we received.

    Lovely time, as always! The menu has changed a bit (for the better, we think!) over the last few years. The seasonal changes are always interesting. Lots of options for everyone and just a really chill vibe. We had the pleasure of being served by Carla who was so sweet (our friend was chilly from a wintery trek from his car, so she brought him a hot water to wrap his hands around) - so thoughtful! We had a lovely time and will be back.
