The food was absolutely delicious and the Chefs selection was a great deal! The service was decent, although lacking a bit in attentiveness at times. Unfortunately, our glasses (drinks and water) sat empty for quite a while. But overall, a minor issue. Great atmosphere! It was warm inside and loud so if thats going to be a concern then best try a place with better acoustics!
