Food was divine (be sure to order a lot — maybe around 7 small plates because the portions are small), and the service was super friendly. Ambience was very relaxed but romantic (good for dates!). Fantastic all around. The steak, potato pave, and duck are mindblowing. I could’ve had just ordered 2-3 servings each of those three things and died happy.
