Immersion into new foods and signature service.
Lo behind the bar was so lovely. She helped us choose a bottle of wine off the menu that we thoroughly enjoyed with our meal. Lo was so bright and bubbly, encouraging, shoots straight, a big part of our great experience. Sarah was also a lovely server. We had a great time. Food is top notch.
