    The food is really exceptional The service was great and the price is reasonable. However the only issue is the noise level is amazingly high. This restaurant really need an acoustics treatment - even without music the noise level was very very high

    We came here for brunch, and while the place looks lovely and charming, the music was unbearably loud. We couldn’t hear each other and had to practically shout to have a conversation. They mentioned that an event was happening, but it wasn’t starting for another hour—yet they still refused to lower the volume. Leaving felt like a relief for my ears. The food was pretty good, but the overwhelming music made the experience uncomfortable
