It was very loud and at times unpleasant as I wasn’t able to hear my partner. The food was lovely but on the high price side.. Service was good but the table for 2 was to small as we were not able to put our wine on it maybe a wine stand would be better that on a bench away from our table as we had to get up and get it away from our table.. not a good thing to have to do.. thanks but hope to have a better experience next time
