Showed up at 10:45 with a reservation. Guy at the front was rude and got on the phone. Lady saw it and came over to seat us. Waiter - Tanner was incredible. Only negative was the young man at the front.

Some of the BEST food we’ve ever had! The restaurant was phenomenal. Service was amazing. We were on the rooftop and had a gorgeous view of the city. I love how it was covered so we could also watch the rain. 11/10.
