First time here. Very well prepared food. Service was on point. Drinks and wine selection are extensive and delicious. The space is kind of strange layout. Value was not great but still fantastic meal.

I absolutely love this restaurant. We have one server that’s our favorite. I gave it a 4 for the service because of our last visit. Our server was not very attentive until the very end. I will from now on ask for a specific person when we go.

Loved the black bean burger with chips, not your run-of-the-mill chips - these seemed house-made. Thick, crunchy and delicious! Really liked the blood orange mock tail too! Great service. It was a bit loud on the pawtio which made conversation a little difficult, but there was a large party there celebrating and it quieted down after they left. I loved the decorations in this area of the restaurant, very pretty!
