    Food and service were fantastic. Atmosphere is where it loses marks unfortunately. It is so loud in the back room and cold with the door to the patio opening often. It’s also unusually dark in all parts of this restaurant, to the point that I saw multiple diners using their phone or the fake candle on the table to read the menu. I’ll probably still return for the food but I really wish they would add noise dampening features and address the poor lighting.

    This is a great restaurant. Food was very good, service was great, the only thing is that it is quite loud even when the restaurant is not full.

    Interesting menu delivered a really great meal with excellent pacing and great service. Sharing style serving provided a perfect dining experience. Wine list even of single glasses was impressive. Noisy diners would be more tolerable if the decor had some sound damping surfaces.
