Great dinner with a friend. We often choose Graffiti Market for its consistent. Good Food Good Service. Our server who introduced himself was fantastic he made the night and experience even better with his interaction. The only negative. Why would the hostess seat a family with little people right beside 2 people having a quiet conversation. Thankfully we were almost done our visit. When the family came our conversation was difficult because of their noise. Yes im thankful they were there not a scrooge but perhaps another location not where adults are all visiting...others also were bothered by them not just us. We left for a quieter place for dessert and drink instead of staying..
