I celebrated my birthday here on Tuesday night. My party needed a few special accommodations met and the staff fulfilled them all happily and efficiently. The food was amazing and the cocktails were exquisite! We absolutely loved our intimate nook on the street parklet with its cozy heaters and vibey chill ambience. The standout moment goes to our server LAURA! She was so warm, funny and entertaining, which is exactly what is needed to make an occasion (like my birthday party) special. She even snapped a photo of my party after the restaurant closed. Thank you LAURA!
