The food was excellent, and the service was even better. Nice change to have a relatively quiet restaurant these days even though the tables were nearly all occupied. Ambience is perfect.

Service was terrific. Burger was great. Thought the sides were a little skimpy for the price. Would definitely dine there again.

We were early for our reservation and offered to sit at the bar until our table was ready. They forgot about us and ended up seating us at the same empty table that was empty when we arrived. Food was good, music and ambiance were lovely.

Vibrant flavors with unique preparation. Enjoyed the cauliflower app especially. Desserts amazing and worth saving room for the pistachio tiramisu cake and rich chocolate cake. French press coffee a nice touch. Wine choices were disappointment given there are so many nice options from those same grapes/regions. Mezcal margarita was much better! Will be back someday.
