    This is a great restaurant. Food was very good, service was great, the only thing is that it is quite loud even when the restaurant is not full.

    Interesting menu delivered a really great meal with excellent pacing and great service. Sharing style serving provided a perfect dining experience. Wine list even of single glasses was impressive. Noisy diners would be more tolerable if the decor had some sound damping surfaces.

    Breathtaking noise levels. Food is fantastic but you have to yell to be heard. They need to buffer the noise to make this top notch, unless they only want to attract the very young.
