    Excellent food and wine. Busy spot. We could not understand why they kept the front door open on an extremely hot day, especially with their air conditioners set to 60 degrees.

    Mine was an unusual experience - my dinner companion didn't make it for early 5PM dinner. While waiting for an hour in a still empty very cozy & comfortable dining room with generous table spacing, my server Kevin recommended an excellent Malbec (they were out of Pinot Noirs), and I ended up leaving with takeout for a home dinner with family. The Chicken Kebab survived a quick Uber ride without needed to be warmed up -- a generous portion with perfectly grilled veggies that weren't half raw as is so often the case. And, the beet/arugula salad was scrumptious, just lightly dressed and with crunch added by sliced radishes and a sweet note from dried apricot strips. I splurged on 2 portions of freshly made Tiramisu -- delicious and clearly house-made, and 1 portion enough for three. I hope to be back soon & actually dine inhouse!!
