    Nice meeting spot and good with families. Quite busy given the proximity to the aquarium. This is a historical neighborhood with many former building re purposed into the present day cultural complex. In a former warehouse building the loud background music is really unnecessary and makes conversations very difficult at best. The sounds from the kitchen are more understandable. The food was more than respectable with salads being a bit in the tired side which is always unfortunate because so much produce is available locally in June. The ambiance issues are easily overcome, and this place has good potential. Not something I would go to for a special event, but a nice option in a interesting neighborhood.
