Overall, an enjoyable visit. The food was fresh and menu offered a wide variety of options for every pallete with a fresh, unique and creative ingredients beautifully assembled and presented. Service was great with frequent checkbacks, refills and a good pace to the meal. Dining room was clean and well-maintained. My only issue with this visit was the noise in the dining room. The acoustics were loud and it was difficult to hear normal conversation at my table. I would recommend the restaurant explore options to improve sound dampening for a quieter, more enjoyable dining experience. I'll be back!
