    Great place and great food. Servers were great although this particular evening they were having some technical difficulties that slowed the service down a lot. It is a happening place and we really enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

    We had a 1130 reservation at opening. We were allowed to sit wherever we liked and promptly served water. We then did not have any server help us for 15 or so minutes. They realized there was a miscommunication between the two ladies working and they both thought the other was taking care of our table. Once they realized this they quickly both came to our table and apologized. They offered out first round on them and also brought us a complimentary appetizer. It was so nice for the mistake to be rectified as soon as it was discovered. They were so friendly and helpful. 10/10 if recommend. And the food was exceptional. The bistro steak was delicious. I highly recommend this dish.
