    As a party of six, we knew it would be hard in the space to hear one another as this is a more intimate kind of table setting restaurant, which we love too. As the restaurant cleared out, it was easier to hear each other, but the ambiance, the food, and the service made this evening lovely. Overall, we were treated with top notch service, the menu offering was remarkably interesting and varied so we all had the opportunity to try each others choices. The service team was very professional, very attentive, and despite being very busy, took the time with us for questions, etc.

    Absolutely incredible experience and will be dining again! All of the food was amazing, service was incredible and at a great pace, absolutely loved it. The one thing I didn't love was that, although there was a dress code, some patrons were wearing short sleeved shirts, graphic tees, and shorts - which made my partner and I feel a little silly for taking the dress code so seriously. But otherwise, 10/10 and I will be going again! (Also, the prices were far more reasonable than I thought!)
