Food was excellent and ambiance was incredible, but the service was poor. We were served bread at the same time as the first course and each course came out in rapid succession without any breath in between.

This was a very delightful stop last night! The vibe was great and I loved the decor. The server was friendly and helpful. She recommended an upsell that was great with the tuna caviar tartare. Drinks were well made and tasty. I would definitely recommend stopping in if you’re in the neighborhood for an appetizer and a drink.
