Our first visit. Overall- I always believe service wins over food. A diner can make a bad choice, but rude service is never ok. Tonight we got amazing service from Tristan and Tray. I didn’t make a good choice on my food- but totally my palette. But Tray would not take me being unhappy. They just were awesome. Treated us like diners they cared about - not even knowing if we were tourists or locals- didn’t care. We will. return! We are relocating here and now know where we will return to! Thank you!

We asked for salt and pepper because none was on the table and never received it. The salad was great. And our waitress got the order exactly right, down to the exclusions of certain items.

Second time in. Our server Emily was a delight. Great conversation and she knew the menu. Thai time we did the fire roasted cauliflower, zucchini chips again and the Brussels sprouts. All were flavorful and tasty no aftertaste on Brussels. The cauliflower with eggplant purée was delicious. Their old fashioned for two is equal to about 2-1/2 drinks each and smooth. Ask for Emily and enjoy
