Atmosphere was great and so was the food. I will go again.
Love the eclectic menu for food and cocktails. Service was great. Only complaint was that it was very noisy.
Each dish was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The ingredients tasted very fresh, and the presentation looked wonderful. Service could have been more attentive but overall a great experience.
