We ate at 4:45 and there was already an energetic crowd at the bar and tables were about half full. We had requested a quiet spot and the hostess did her best to accommodate, I realized I had forgotten my readers and asked our server Domino if he could check for a loaner pair. He not only checked the hostess but then the manager and presented a pair so I could read the menu. Then we asked if they offered a cheese plate because at some restaurants that is on the dessert menu. Again...
The staff was gracious and attended to every detail of our event. Kelsey and the entire team were organized, thoughtful, and really took such good care of our guests. I would recommend hosting an event here, or just patronizing this restaurant. I look forward to coming back with friends and family.
The venue was beautiful, the service was slow for lunchtime, overall it's a good experience, but there was a employee yelling through their open concept kitchen window in Spanish that was very loud and disconcerting. I would not recommend sitting with hearing range of the kitchen.
