    Had a wonderful experience outdoors with a superb waitress. Stephanie. Some of the dishes had a different twist than expected, therefore the lower rating. But I would definitely recommend it and will return.

    Unimpressive, food ok, rather loud, busy , specials were not announced to us. Seating was awkward as we were reserved party of 4, one could not make it. So we were reseated to a table of three, one facing a wall. Next to us was our table of four, empty until 45 mins later filled by party of three.

    Food was excellent. Service was attentive, but a little slow (we were not in a hurry, so no issue today). Our table was a little cramped. Would recommend all of the appetizers, entrees and desserts we had (tuna tartare, escargot, tuna nicoise, angus short rib sandwich, modules mariners, Meyer lemon mouse and crème brûlée). The espresso granita on the lemon mousse overpowered it, but the lemon flavor came through when you got past it. Coffee was very strong (OK for me, too strong for another member of my party).
