We enjoyed ourselves! The food experience, was a C: appetizer were quick, we had to wait a good while for main dish, main dish was served room temperature, no salt and pepper on table, and no bread was present to eat with food.

This was a fantastic choice, and everything was delicious and unique 😋. If you have trouble seeing in dark places, this is pretty dark at the rear tables and booths, but a lovely ambiance. If you have trouble hearing a conversation over music, it might be a little too loud. The service was excellent, and the drinks and food were truly wonderful!
