    Beautiful restaurant inside. I rated three stars for food only because there were scant few vegetarian and vegan items. Those were basically side orders. There is not one salad available as an option. The other four people in our party that ordered meat meals really enjoyed their food. I also ranked 4 for noise because the only table available was outside, which is next to another restaurant that had their own music playing. I think if you requested a table inside, it would be perfect. I ordered a martini and it was average And very small. We ordered the s’mores for dessert (And there is actually a vegan option with a vegan marshmallow) But they didn’t really Taste like s’mores. The presentation was lovely though, although not real effective grilling your own marshmallow over tiny coals. I would definitely go back if the Restaurant would provide some actual vegan meals.

    We celebrated my mom’s birthday and sat at the bar with fantastic service from Nici , Juan, Rachel and the chef. The food is consistently delicious and with portions large enough for leftovers the next day. The staff came out sang happy birthday and roughy exactly what I requested with happy birthday mom written in chocolate with a piece of their scrumptious carrot cake. Thank you so much for making my mom’s birthday extra special.
