Everything lived up to expectations. The service was great, and the drinks and food were excellent. The staff person also answered all of our questions related to ingredients. She genuinely seemed to like working there and believed in the mission. The cocktails were just as good as the food. The ambiance was very comfortable. The noise will depend on other diners. We were near a party that just wanted to be heard. Once they left, it was darn near perfect.

Firstly, for a modern bistro the noise level was quite low. This is helped by the absence of music playing in the background. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. If you are looking for a delicious meal served in a leisurely manner, this is the place.
