Everything was good except that we requested a small quiet table and they had a DJ playing from 2 pm, when we arrived, up until at least 4 pm. The music was good but the volume level was needlessly loud for the 15 guests in the space and the totally subdued atmosphere. It wasn't a dance party and the space is like the size of a large studio apartment. Half the volume would have been more than enough. Cocktails were very good. Food was tasty.
