We enjoyed their revamped, small plate menu which had many more plant-based options than the restaurant had offered in the past. Delicious, unusual, beautifully presented. Our server was wonderful, gracious, attentive. A fine dining experience that was relaxed and pleasant.

Food and service was great! However, Guinness beer is too expensive and young kids are extremely loud. Other than that, loved the food.
